Panchase Trek Itinerary, Route, and Map

Nepal Itinerary , Trekking in Nepal / April 25, 2024 by fulltimeexplorer / Leave a Comment

The Panchase Trek is a short three-day trek covering the southwest side of Lake Phewa near Pokhara. Despite being so close to a major city, this is a proper trek with hiking trails going through gorgeous forests with views of the Himalaya in the distance on a clear day. We attempted this trek in September and there were so many leeches we had to turn back. But that didn’t stop us from trying again two years later in October when the weather was perfect and we got incredible views! Here’s the Panchase Trek Itinerary we followed and everything you need to know.

Panchase Trek Map

Note: This map should not be used for navigational purposes. It is only meant to give an idea of the route and is not perfectly to scale, and some of the walking routes may not be present. Download maps.me on your phone for an accurate offline map that is free to use.

Panchase Trek Overview

Trek duration.

The Panchase Trek takes 3 days to complete.

Panchase Trek Difficulty Level

This is an easy to moderate trek. As it is a low altitude trek, you don’t need to worry about things like altitude sickness or difficulty breathing. Since it’s only 3 days long, it isn’t too strenuous. There are some steep sections, and there are some areas where the trail isn’t well made, but overall this is a great trek for beginners.

Required Permits

No permit is required for the Panchase Trek.

Panchase Trek History

This trek has only gained popularity in the last few years, however the villages along the route are much older. When I asked one of the teahouse owners how old the village was, he said their family had lived in the village for five or six generations.

Originally, this area had a few villages, and the trekking trail was the route taken to cow sheds by shepherds or routes connecting the small villages nearby. The lake near Panchase is a pilgrimage site for Hindus who visit after a loved one has passed away to perform a puja (religious ceremony) in their honor.

Best Time to do the Panchase Trek

Late October to April are the best times to do this trek. The views are best in October and November, however, in March and April you’ll see more flowers. Monsoon season (May, June, July, August, and September) are not a good time to do this trek due to leeches and the overgrown plants that take over the trail. We attempted the trek at the end of monsoon season in the last week of September and we had so many leeches on us we had to turn back.

Panchase Trail Info

The Panchase trail is great for beginners. There are some steep sections, but it’s nothing brutal. The trail consists of stone walkways, stone steps, dirt paths, and some paths that are not very noticeable. The route goes through forests, fields, and a few small villages. Towards the end, you’ll end up near the tourist attractions and major temples in Pokhara which is more crowded and passes through the main road once in a while.

Navigating the Panchase Trek

The Panchase trek is easy to navigate in some sections, and difficult to navigate in others. You can download Maps.me (mobile app) before doing the trek as that has the path marked. However, I do recommend having a guide on this trail. There are some areas that go through dense forest and some areas where the trail is not clearly marked and there is barely a noticeable path.

Packing List

I have a separate post for my packing list as it was too much to include here. Read this blog post for a list of everything I carried with me…

Panchase Trek Packing List

I’ve written an entire post breaking down what we spent on the trek. You can read it here…

Panchase Trek Budget

Detailed Panchase Trek Itinerary Breakdown (3 days)

Day 1 – pokhara to panchase bhanjyang.

Pokhara Altitude: 822 m (2,696 ft)

Panchase Bhanjyang Altitude: 2,100 m (6,889 ft)

Daily Altitude Increase: 1,278 m (4,192 ft)

Oxygen Concentration: 79% compared to 100% at sea level

Driving Time: 1 hour 30 minutes from Pokhara to Bhadaure by taxi

Walking Time: 3 hours (not including lunch/tea breaks)

Walking Distance: 6.1 km (3.8 miles)

Tea house: Happy Heart Hotel

Daily Details:

The day starts off with a 1.5 hour drive to Bhadaure village. If you leave early in the morning, you can arrive at Panchase Bhanjyang by lunch. But, if you want a more leisurely schedule, I recommend eating lunch in Bhadaure as there is nowhere to stop along the route. We left our hotel a little late, so we got dropped at the highway and walked about 15 minutes uphill to Panchase Green Hill Guest House in Bhadaure for lunch.

Since it’s only a three-hour walk, we took our time stopping for photos and enjoying the view. After lunch, it’s mostly uphill for an hour, but it’s a nice stone path with stone stairs, so it doesn’t feel too difficult.

For the following hour, it’s not so steep, however it is still mostly uphill. The path goes through quiet forests on a beautiful trail. It’s a peaceful and relaxing walk through the woods. On a clear day, there’s nice views whenever you reach an opening in the trees.

The last hour is a gentler walk along a path through the woods. There are some forks in the pathway, so make sure to have a guide or maps.me downloaded in advance. There are no stops or villages in between Bhadaure and Panchase Bhanjyang, so bring snacks and enough water for the entire walk.

Day 2 – Panchase Bhanjyang to Bhumdi

Bhumdi Altitude: 1,525 m (5,000 ft)

Daily Altitude Decrease: 575 m (1,886 ft)

Oxygen Concentration: 84% compared to 100% at sea level

Walking Time: 4 hours 45 minutes (not including lunch/tea breaks)

Walking Distance: 7 km (4.4 miles)

Tea house: Himalayan View Teahouse

Day two feels like a proper trekking route and is a little harder to navigate. The day starts off with a path that weaves in and out of a dirt road. While there are almost no cars on this road, it is tricky to find the entry point for the walking path that cuts in between. After you pass the road, you end up going through a jungle route with a pathway that is not well worn. At times, it’s hard to tell where the route goes, which is why a guide is recommended. This section takes about two hours.

From here you end up back on a dirt pathway that goes through a dense forest. The path is mostly flat, but the forest is dense and you can’t see into it. We jumped when we passed a wall of leaves and something on the other side made a peculiar chuffing noise. We jumped so high that it was laughable. It turned out, we startled some pheasants nearby and they must have jumped as well. Luckily, our guide could tell us what animal it was, because we thought we were about to be attacked by some kind of wild cat or sloth bear and almost ran the rest of the way back to Pokhara.

Once we made it out of the dense forest, we stopped for a snack in an opening. There are no teahouses or places to eat on the way, so I recommend ordering extra food from the teahouse in Panchase Bhanjyang. We ordered roasted potatoes with a dry achar (timur, salt, and masala) to dip in, hard boiled eggs, and chapati. It was the perfect snack to eat on the way. We sat under a large Chautari tree near a cow shed once we got out of the jungle section of the walk.

From there, it’s a beautiful descent into the village of Bhumdi which is part of Pumdi Bhumdi. You can see the village below with the mountains towering above on a clear day. I had a blister on my foot, so we stopped at the first teahouse we could find which turned out to be nice with a welcoming owner. But, if you want something a little more luxurious, you can walk to Pumdikot Mountain Lodge which is another 1.5 hours away.

Day 3 – Bhumdi to Pokhara

Bhumdi Altitude: 1,525m (5,000 ft)

Daily Altitude Decrease: 703 m (2,306 ft)

Oxygen Concentration: 91% compared to 100% at sea level

Walking Time: 3 hours 30 minutes (not including lunch/tea breaks)

Walking Distance: 9.6 km (6 miles)

Hotel: Check out my list of the best hotels in Pokhara

Day 3 starts with a walk along the road for at least 30 minutes. Then, you follow a beautiful village pathway until you reach a gorgeous ridge line that overlooks Lake Phewa and the city of Pokhara in the distance. We decided to stop at Pumdikot Mountain Lodge for a tea break. The views from here were spectacular. We had incredible weather and the mountain range was stunning.

From here, you can either take the main road or the adventurous route which keeps you on the ridgeline of the lake. This route has some areas with rock scrambles for about 30 minutes. Then, you’ll see the giant Shiva statue that overlooks the lake below. You can spend some time looking around and taking photos or even have a bite to eat.

After the statue, there’s a small pathway that leads through villages and bypasses the main road for 25 minutes. Then you meet up with the main road and follow that for a half hour. Luckily it’s paved, so it’s not dusty. You’ll see a smaller dirt road leading off to the left and that takes you to the Peace Pagoda. This is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Pokhara and is worth a visit.

After the Peace Pagoda, you can follow a pathway down through the forest. It’s a nice stairway leading down, but after the long morning, my legs were feeling shaky and my blister under my toe was hurting. But if you’re in good shape, it’s a lovely walk through the trees until you reach the boat launch. The boat cost us 650 NRS (about $6 USD) and it took us almost directly across the lake for 20 minutes. There are a few different docks in Lakeside, so you can tell them the one closest to your hotel, however, the price will be different depending on the dock. The boat ride is the perfect way to end a long walk and enjoy a peaceful glide across the lake.

Panchase Trek – Annapurna’s Hidden Gem

Asia , Nepal

The Panchase Trek is one of Nepal’s hidden gems.

Being in the same region as the Annapurna Circuit , Poon Hill trek and the Royal Trek , it is often overlooked by hikers.

However, if you don’t have the time to trek these routes, but still want beautiful scenery and mountain peak views, then the Panchase Trek is the perfect option.

Panchase Hike In Nepal

Being only 4 days long, the Panchase trek is great for beginners and will give you a real sense of what it’s like to trek some of the more wilder sections of the Himalayas .

The Panchase hike only requires moderate fitness and is perfectly trek-able for families and retirees. It’s also one of the easiest treks in Nepal .

Starting at Pokhara, the trek allows you to explore the amazing city and all the wonders it has to offer before leaving. Make sure you have a drink at one of the lakeside cafes! The trek begins in style as you cross the Phewa lake by boat – an experience in itself! The trail takes you past the World Peace Pagoda and then down through some lovely local villages where you can witness the authentic and rustic lifestyle of the local people.

Panchase is actually one of the hill stations in the Annapurna Region and also a religious site for Hindu People. The summit of Panchase Hill (2,500m) is often considered to be the best viewpoint to see Annapurna massif. However, along your trek you’ll also see other giant Himalaya peaks including Dhaulagiri, Lamjung, Machhapuchhre and Manaslu.

Apart from being a great introduction to Nepal trekking for novices, as well as providing an incredible experience for those with less time on their hands, the main drawcard of the Panchase trek is the beauty and diversity of the scenery: one minute there is terraced rice fields lush, the next, lush vegetation and then alpine areas!

Regional Map

The Panchase Trek begins at Pokhara, Nepal’s second city, 13,120 feet above sea level. See the map schematic above.

Recommended Map

A map we recommend for the Annapurna area is Around Annapurna 1 : 125 000: Annapurna Conservation Area – Annapurna Sanctuary . It includes detailed trails, walking distances, altitudes etc.

Panchase Hiking Route

Typical itinerary.

Below is a detailed Panchase Trek itinerary. Please note that all operators offer slightly varying itineraries.

Day 1: Boat trip across Lake Phewa - Trek to Bumdi

Altitude: 1,520m
Approximate Walking Time: 3 hours
Distance: 10km

You will set off from Pokhara on a short boat trip across the beautiful Lake Phewa. This takes you to your start point. You will begin with a short climb through a lush forest. You will come to some stairs which lead up to the World Peace Pagoda . The peace pagoda is one of 80 Buddhist peace pagodas world wide and are built in an attempt to promote world peace. The pagoda is an impressive sight alone; however, from this point, you will also get stunning views out across Phewa Lake and Pokhara.

After a time, you will continue down through the forest on a small trail before ascending again to join an open jeep trail that winds its way around the hill. You will then trek through the village of Lukum Swara before your final climb of the day up to the village of Bumdi where you will spend the night either in a tea house or camping.

Day 2: Trek to Panchase Bhanjyang

Altitude: 2,065m
Approximate Walking Time: 4 hours
Distance: 10.5km

You will begin the day by ascending through a beautiful forest where you continue to get glimpses of the mountains through the trees. If you love wildlife, then get your camera ready as you’ll see and hear many different birds and, if you’re lucky, see some monkeys!

After a time, the trail joins a dirt road where you will get a great panoramic view of the surrounding mountains. You can even see three 8,000 metre peaks in distance – Dhaulagiri, Annapurna I and Manalsu! You will then continue along the jeep trail before arriving at Panchase Bhanjyang where you can either cam or stay in a local tea house.

Day 3: Trek to Bhadaure

Altitude: 1,670m
Distance: 7.5km

Today, you will reach the summit of Panchase Hill! At 2,500 metres, this is the highest point of your trek, and you are rewarded with incredible mountain views! If you get up really early, you’ll have the chance to witness the sun rising over the mountains, bathing the peaks in golden sunlight.

After staying to witness the views, you will descend once again to the to the village of Alldanda on the far side of the hill where you will have lunch. The afternoon is an easy stroll down to your campsite for the evening which is situated just above the town of Bhadaure.

Day 4: Trek to Naudanda – drive back to Pokhara

Altitude: 1,515m
Approx Walking Time: 2 hours
Distance: 6.5km

It is a small trek ideal for experiencing beautiful natural scenery and mountain peak views within a short amount of time. The Panchase Trek is a great trek for families and beginners and offers some of the best viewpoints to see the Annapurna range as well as other mountain peaks including Dhaulagiri (8167 m) , Lamjung Himal (6983 m), and Machhapuchhre (6993 m).

The Panchase Trek sets off with a boat trip across the beautiful Phewa Lake to our starting point. We will climb through a lush forest before reaching the stairs that lead up to the famous Buddhist World Peace Pagoda. 80 World Peace Pagodas have been built around the world in an attempt to promote world peace. The pagoda itself is a remarkable sight; however, it also offers breathtaking views of Phewa Lake and the city of Pokhara. We continue our trek down through a little forest before ascending again to reach Bumdi, our destination for the day. The trail leads us through a beautiful forest with great opportunities to see some of the wildlife of the area, such as a vast amount of rare birds and monkeys as well! We continue the trek, passing some great panoramic viewpoints before arriving at Bhanjyang. On our third day, we will reach the summit of Panchase Hill (2500 m), which is the highest point of our trek. Apart from the awe-inspiring view from Panchase Hill , it is also one of the best places to witness the sunrise as it bathes the mighty mountain peaks in golden sunlight in a truly remarkable sight! Continuing down through the village of Alldanda, we will follow the trail to Bhadaure. On our last day, we will follow a trail winding its way down through local villages and across streams before finally reaching our destination of Naudanada, from where we will get transport back to Pokhara.

Likewise, if your time frame permits, then we highly recommend visiting the most beautiful community lodge trek, the Mohare Danda Trek , and the classic Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek . For more details, please do not hesitate to contact the local experts.

Trip Introduction

Panchase Trek is one of the short treks around Pokhara away from the actual Annapurna trail but it is a rural-cultural off-the-beaten trek that offers an ideal way to discover natural beauty around Pokhara for those visitors on visit, without missing out on the incredible views over the Annapurna Himalayan Range and experience the village life. Our short trek starts in style with a gentle boat trip across Lake Phewa to take you to the start point, where a short climb will be rewarded with stunning views out across the Annapurnas, Machhapuchhare (Fishtail), Dhaulagiri, and Manaslu, which will form the backdrop to much of the trek. The trail will take you up to the World Peace Pagoda, through the forest where you can see the flora and fauna of Nepal, and past several villages where you can experience the daily lives of the local people. It takes you up to an elevation of 2500m on the summit of Panchase Hill, from which (if you are willing to get up early enough!) you can see a dramatic sunrise over the Himalayas giants.

Panchase is one of the closest short treks near Pokhara. Panchase is a point of five tall hills where they meet on the top. On the top of Panchase; there is a temple of Sidda Baba, Dharmasala, Mahadev temple, a view tower, and Buddha statues. The intersection of Kaski, Parbat, and Syangja districts is called Panchase. Panchase Hill offers impressive views of Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Machhapuchhre, Lamjung Himal, and Manaslu and some stunning views of sunrise and sunset. There is a Pancsila Lake and Barah temple at the top. It is said that saints used to stay there because if fire caught in 1966 they moved elsewhere. However; it is a sacred site for yoga and meditation.

People and locals.

Panchase and its surrounding area are home to some 70,000 population including Kalabang, Chitre, and Bhadaure. Deurali, Talibarang, Arthare and Sidhane villages. Most of these villages have homestay facilities with welcoming hospitality. One needs to inform in advance if you are going to stay in one of those and you have to be there before sunset.

Nature and wildlife

Panchase; resting on the lap of the Himalayas is a complete package with its pristine beauty, and topographical diversity to go with the blend of historic, religious, and cultural hues. Panchase which abuts Kaski, Syangja, and Parbat districts is a place of bio-diversity and is home to endangered bird species of the world. In case you have not noticed. Panchase has biological diversity as there are different kinds of birds, animals, butterflies, flowers, and vegetation. Harpan Khola – the origin of the famous Phewa Lake, Adhikhola, Ratikhola, Jarekhola, and Seti Khola all these small river and rivulets flows from Panchase. The world-famous rhododendron, Sunkhari, and Leksallo among other flowers are the staple products of the area. Panchase is also known as the depot of endangered herbs and herbal medicine. The world's endangered herbs such as Satuwa, Chattre Unyu, and Loth Salla have existed since the time of dinosaurs. It is also home to animals like leopards, bears, deer, and many species of birds.

How are the accommodation and food in Panchase?

The accommodation in this route is quite basic compared to other popular trekking trails such as Ghorepani Poon Hill or Annapurna Circuit in Annapurna. Local people run homestay services at Kalabang and Pumdi villages offering staying in local homes. We saw one new lodge at Bhumdi that is a bit away from the village. For those; who love experiencing local culture and don’t mind going through basic facilities then it is a firsthand opportunity to discover the locals and their lifestyle. The food is usually rice, potatoes, noodles, eggs, momo, chapati etc and tea, coffee for table drinks. Dal Bhaat (a Nepalese set meal that comes with boiled rice, lentil soup, fried/cooked vegetables, and pickles) is served in homestays. For beverages and bars, there are cold drinks, beer, distillery drinks, and Raksi (local wine).

When to go / what is the best time to trek?

Panchase Trek can be done year-round. The best advised time to trek there is fall (September – November) however it can be one of the wet areas in the Annapurna region. There are high seasons that suit this trek and the following months have traditionally been used as a guide for the favorite times of the year to do the Panchase trek. Mid-September - November - early December: this is Nepal's best time to go trekking however if the Monsoon is late then Panchase can remain cloud-covered until early October rarely. Otherwise, the views at this time of year in Panchase are usually just gorgeous.

Mid-December to February: This is the winter season in Nepal; has a clear sky but it can be cold in Panchase, so warm clothing is advised. Little chance of snowfall this time at Panchase. March - April: this is the spring season; the end of the dry season and the second best time of the year for trekking. At this time there are rare chances of showers rain and storms in Pokhara hence Panchase is likely to have cloud cover sometimes.

May - June: This is Nepal's hot pre-monsoon period and it can be quite warm. The valleys around Panchase flourish with flowers and new leaves though which makes for a very nice trek. However cloud cover can be an issue.

June – Early September: Monsoon season and not a good time to go trekking to Panchase. The leeches in this area are so active when it is wet and the trail is slippery, that downpours also increase greatly. For more details please write us to go trekking in Nepal at the best time. Nepal offers some of the best summer treks in Nepal's other areas.

How to get there?

There are three options to start the hike. 1) Start the trek from Phewa Lake near Halanchowk via Kalabang and spend the first night in Bhumdi. 5-6 hours of walking bring you to Panchase Bhanjyang on the second day. There are half a dozen hotels at Bhanjyang and it is 1.5 hours to Panchase Hill from there and just one hotel on the top. The next day after enjoying the sunrise and hot breakfast descending to the Chitre village of Parbat would be best via Pancsila Lake. 2) The second option is to start the hike from Peace Stupa and trek to Panchase via Pumdi Bhumdi. 3) The third option is to ride a local bus or take a taxi to Kande and then Bhadaure and trek to Panchase.

Distance and elevation

Panchase lies at a height ranging from 800 to 2,500 meters above sea level which tells us of its diverse topography. The mountain ranges of Mt Dhaulagiri, Mt Annapurna, Mt Manaslu, and Mt Ganesh can be seen from Panchase, which is the source of Fewa Lake, and rivers like Rati, Jare, Andhi, and Seti. The area lies at a distance of 28 kilometers from Pokhara, making it one of the attractive trekking destinations from the scenic city. This trek is also a great extension to any of our tours of Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan Jungle Safari Tour.

How long is Panchase Trek?

Normally; Panchase Trek is 2 to 3 days long though it can be extended up to 4 days via Australian Camp and Dhampus. Our pre-set 3-day itinerary is standard and starts at Pokhara at Phewa Lake. If you would like to customize it please email us.

The Panchase is about 30 kilometres from Pokhara. It’s a terrific little hike with some of the best views in the area on a clear day. During the winter, snow falls over Panchase village, which is located at 2500 meters above sea level. From here, you can see the magnificent Annapurna, Machhapuchhre, and Dhaulagiri. A small lake atop the Panchase trek adds to the extra attractiveness of this site. This is a less-touristic area with spectacular mountain views along the way and without the crowds of other popular hikes in Annapurna region treks .

The hike takes you through lovely villages and terraced farms. High slopes of rhododendron woodland with diverse flora and fauna are also present.

In addition, there is information on the local ethnic people and their lifestyle, as well as a pilgrimage place, a green forest, and bird watching.

Panchase Trek 3 days package itinerary

Panchase Trek is not just a journey; it’s an immersive odyssey through the heart of rural Nepal, a symphony of nature, culture, and spirituality interwoven into a tapestry that captivates the soul. Over three days, this expedition unveils the breathtaking beauty of the Annapurna Himalayan Range , leaving indelible imprints on the minds of those fortunate enough to tread its trails.

Profound Origins and Spiritual Significance:

The very essence of Panchase Danda lies in its name – a nod to the five divine seats embodying the feminine principle in ancient Asana yoga. These sacred enclaves, resonating with spiritual energy, hold significance for Hindus and Buddhists alike. Panchase is more than a trek; it’s a pilgrimage to a revered meditation ground, a sanctuary for those seeking connection with the divine.

Floral Symphony and Ethnic Marvels:

As trekkers traverse the undulating paths of Panchase Danda, they find themselves enchanted by the lush green forests that cloak the area. This harmonious ecosystem hosts diverse flora and fauna, creating a living symphony of life. The trek winds through traditional Gurung and Brahman villages, each serving as a living testament to the region’s rich cultural tapestry. Vibrant traditions and warm hospitality await trekkers at every step, offering a glimpse into the heart of mountain communities.

Diverse Tapestry of Panchase Villages:

Kalabang, Chitre, Bhadaure, Deurali, Talibarang, Arthare, and Sidhane – these names resonate with a collective population of around 70,000, forming the vibrant mosaic of Panchase’s allure. Homestay accommodations in these villages open doors to an intimate experience of local life. To truly immerse yourself, arriving before sunset and notifying hosts in advance is not just a suggestion but a key to unlocking the genuine hospitality of these communities.

Topographical Kaleidoscope and Cultural Abundance:

Panchase trek is not merely about the people but also about the landscape it cradles. The region boasts diverse species of birds, animals, butterflies, and an array of flora that transforms the trek into a sensory feast. Endangered herbs and herbal medicine find a haven here, while the verdant landscape is shared by elusive creatures such as tigers, bears, and deer. The coexistence of culture and nature paints Panchase as a canvas where every step tells a story.

Panoramic Vistas and Spiritual Haven:

The pinnacle of the trek is Panchase Danda, standing majestically at an elevation of 2500 meters. From this vantage point, the snow-capped peaks of the Annapurna Massif, Lamjung Himal, Machhapuchhree (fishtail), and Manaslu Himal ranges create a panorama that transcends description. It’s a visual symphony that resonates with spiritual seekers and nature enthusiasts alike.

While in the region, trekkers can explore the World Peace Pagoda, a magnificent Buddhist monument perched atop a hill overlooking Fewa Lake. Accessible through a serene combination of boating and trekking, this haven radiates tranquility, offering a respite for the soul amidst the grandeur of nature.

Quaint Accommodations and Immersive Experience:

Accommodations along the Panchase trek trail are more than just places to rest; they are gateways to the heart of local communities. Bhumdi Guest House in Pundi Bhumdi and Open-Heart Guest House at Panchase Danda , though basic, provide an authentic experience of the unique lifestyle in these mountain villages. Staying true to the spirit of the trek, these accommodations enhance the overall journey, making it not just about the destination but the entire immersive experience.

Time-Efficient Adventure and Alternatives:

For those with time constraints or a preference for a less strenuous option than the more popular Ghorepani Poon Hill or Annapurna Sanctuary trek, the Panchase Trek emerges as the perfect compromise. It doesn’t compromise on the essence of adventure while providing a fulfilling experience of the Himalayan beauty. As an alternative, the Royal Trek and Sikles Village Kori Trek beckons with equally rewarding and captivating experiences, ensuring that the adventurous spirit finds its path in Nepal.

Unforgettable Memories and Expert Guidance:

Joining the Panchase Trek package is not just a physical journey; it’s an invitation to let the mountains and charming villages of Nepal etch memories that linger a lifetime. The journey is not without challenges, but expert guides stand ready to ensure safety and comfort throughout. The expedition commences from your Pokhara hotel, a testament to the seamless planning that goes into crafting an unforgettable experience.

Pokhara to Panchase Distance:

The logistics of the Panchase trek are as intriguing as the journey itself. The direct distance from Pokhara to Panchase, a mere 30 kilometers (18.6 miles), belies the intricacies of the trekking route. The undulating nature of the trail, coupled with elevation changes, elongates the actual trekking distance. While the trek spans two days with overnight stays at Bhumdi Guest House and Open Heart Guest House, the total distance typically falls within 40-45 kilometers (25-28 miles).

It’s crucial to note that these figures are estimations, subject to variables like the specific route chosen, any side trips taken, and the individual’s hiking pace. The trek isn’t just about covering ground; it’s about navigating the nuances of nature’s terrain and understanding the ebb and flow of the landscape that unfolds with every step.

In conclusion, the Panchase Trek is more than a checklist item for avid trekkers; it’s an odyssey into the heart of Nepal’s natural and cultural heritage. Every step is a story, every vista a painting, and every village a chapter in the tale of Panchase. As you lace up your boots and set forth on this journey, be prepared to not just witness but to be a part of the living narrative that is Panchase.

Is Altitude Sickness a Problem in this Trek?

This is a lower altitude trek so you do not have to worry about suffering from altitude sickness. As the highest point of this trek is situated at an altitude of 2500 m.

But you need to drink plenty of water and keep your body hydrated. Also, carry energy bars and drinks. And walk slowly as walking fast can make your body lose energy pretty fast.

Best Time for Panchase Trek in Nepal

Panchase Trek can be done throughout the year. But the best time is preferred as autumn (September, October, and November). It is the best time for almost all the treks in the Annapurna Region, as well as in whole Nepal.

Panchase Trek During Mid-September to Early December

In this time, the views are stunning. In case the monsoon occurs late, the atmosphere remains cloudy. Chances of rainfall also increase.

Panchase Trek During Mid-December to February

In this time, winter season falls in Nepal. The skies seem clearer but the environment remains colder. If you are willing to trek around in this time, warm clothing and supporting gears are advised. Little chance of rainfall and snowfall also prevails.

Panchase Trek During March to April

In this time, spring season falls in Nepal. It is the second-best time for trekking and is also recognized as a dry season of Nepal. Few drops of rain and storms tentatively occur in Pokhara; so there is the chance of occurrencethe of cloudy atmosphere in Panchase area.

Panchase Trek During May to Mid-June

This time is referred to as pre-monsoon season in Nepal. The surrounding remains covered with blooming flowers and newly sprouted leaves. Also, sometimes, clouds may cover the area, and rainfall may occur.

Panchase Trek During Late June to Early September

This time is known as the monsoon season in Nepal. It is the less recommended time for trekking. Climate remains cloudier and rainier. When there is no rainfall, the view remains pristine and mesmerizing. But the wet and slippery trail does not really support. Also, the rain parasites like snails, slugs, and leeches distract on the trekking path.

Some Safety Notes

Carry your own personal stuff
Carry appropriate trekking gears (include sleeping bag – warm to 20-degree Fahrenheit, under-wears, gloves, slacks or light jeans, a ski jacket or parka, walking boots, water bottles, flashlight or headlight, woolen shirts or sweater, towel, toilet kit, waterproof daypack or rucksack, and so on)
Check on the weather and climatic condition of Nepal; pick the appropriate seasons
A guide will take care of your safety; so, do not panic or rush if you get in any problem
There is no need for higher physical training and experiences, but one should be able to have some walks. Little walks and exercise per day will aid a lot in it. Having cycling, running, swimming experience will also be better.

Panchase Trek: A short and Sweet Trek From Pokhara Company Reviews

Discovery world trekking, amazing scenery.

I would thoroughly recommend this trek for anyone who goes to Nepal and wants to get a flavour for the scenery. It’s especially ideal if you’re limited for time (as my partner and I were) So on this occasion the trek was led by a friendly young man called Yagya. It became apparent to both myself and my parter Vicky that Yagya was exceedingly familiar with the localities having spent much of his childhood there. He was full of enthusiasm and keen to share his knowledge of the area, and the history. The views were breathtaking throughout, taking us through forest areas, grasslands and a small number of villages where we stopped for food and supplies. These were frequent enough for us to have chance to stock for water, meals and snacks. The trek has clearly been well thought out. Yagya was an excellent guide who clearly knew his way around without needing to rely on any navigation or map reading at any point. He kept us to a good pace whilst also allowing us more time to take photos on the second day as we descended. During the 2 days we were captivated by Yagya’s stories and the local religious beliefs. Yagya was also keen to hear about our take on spiritualism and this offered some brief deep yet memorable conversations on the second day. The journey ended with a meal in a restaurant in Pokhara where the food was excellent and the perfect way to end the afternoon/evening. Overall we can’t thank Yagya enough for the journey he took us on. A real memorable experience.
