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

Page Template

Asia , Nepal

easy-treks-in-nepal-panchase

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!

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

  • 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.

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!

This is because the sun is out during the day, but the nights are cold and refreshing. Winter is also a possibility, but you have to be pretty hardy and not mind the cold.

Is altitude sickness a risk on the Panchase trek?

Yes, there are some risks of altitude sickness on the Panchase Trek. The trail ascends to some moderate altitude points. At its highest point, Panchase Hill, you will reach an altitude of 2,500 meters. There are steep sections on this trek where you will ascend very rapidly.

Therefore, it is important to have a clear understanding of the risks associated with high altitude trekking and how the body acclimatises to high altitude. We recommend you read our detailed article on  Altitude Sickness and Acclimatisation .

We are a family of 5 and this information has been extremely valuable for planning our first trip to Nepal. We are extremely excited about our trip in April and your article and info has got us even more excited about what we know will be the first of many trips.

Many thanks

Terry from Singapore

Hi Terry, glad we could be of help. Hope you have an awesome trip with your family. All the best!

Hi there Thanks for your wonderful and comprehensive overview of the Panchase trek. I am visiting Pokhara in October and would love to do a longer trek but will only be there for around four nights. I also suffer from a recurring knee injury, which generally poses no major problems, but can flare up if I overdo it or with strenuous ascents and particularly descents. It does look lovely but do you think that this trek would be okay for someone like me? I noticed there are a few steep parts. Or is there a way to avoid these bits at all? I’m thinking my other option would be to just do some smaller, less strenuous hikes – eg, drive to Astam and around there and then perhaps on to Dhampus / Australian Camp or something along those lines. Indeed, any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks in advance for any help or advice. Simon

Hi Simon, thanks for getting in touch. The Panchase is relatively straightforward with no major ascents and descents. There are of course ups and downs though, and these could aggravate a knee injury. I would say that in general you should be fine on the Panchase trek, alternatively The Royal Trek ( https://www.mountainiq.com/guides/trekking-in-nepal/routes/royal-trek/ ) is also an option or Poon Hill Trek (although you would probably want to skip the hill climb for the full view of the Annapurnas). Hope this helps.

We will be in Nepal in January and would like to do a short hike – perhaps Panchase. Is it possible to do this hike early January, say 1st or 2nd Jan starting. If not Panchase, can you recommend another short hike of about 4 days duration. Preferably one with not many tourists. Thank you for your help 😉

Hi Maree, yes it is possible to trek in January, although temperatures can be pretty frigid. Here are some short hikes to consider: https://www.mountainiq.com/short-treks-in-nepal/ . The Panchase trek is a good option if you are going to be based in the Annapurna region.

We are a couple looking for a trek. One partner is relatively fit and healthy, the other is fit but less so. We want something to challenge us, thinking also of combining yoga and trekking. What are your thoughts? We are considering the panchasse or the poon hill.

Hi Rakhee, I would recommend the Poon Hill Trek. It is more varied and has amazing views of the Annapurnas.

Hi We are interested in this Panchase trek – do you recommend any local guides? Thanks Jo

We work with local guides to offer great value adventures at unbeatable prices

Panchase Trek is yet another one of Nepal’s hidden cultural and natural gems. The trek is located in the same region as the popular Annapurna Circuit Trek and Annapurna Base Camp Trek  and is often overlooked by hikers. 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.

Panchase Trek from Pokhara.

“The Panchase Trek is a popular trekking destination in Nepal. It takes five days to complete and passes through stunning forests, terraced hillsides, and rhododendron forests. However, the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain views are breathtaking.”

The Panchase Trek is a wonderful alternative trekking route for those who are new to the area. If you just have a limited amount of time or are a beginner hiker, go to the Pokhara region. while still experiencing beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and learning about the local ethnic people’s everyday lives. The Panchase trek begins on the banks of the lovely Phewa Lake and leads to Panchase village, a beautiful spot. But it serves as an excellent primer in the Annapurna area. Pokhara is located on the banks of Phewa Lake .

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. This short hike takes you off the usual path and into a rural area with spectacular Himalayan views. The scenery, as well as the vibrant local culture and customs, are breathtaking. This excursion provides a panoramic view of the mountain ranges of Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, and Manaslu. 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. This is a great little hike for travellers, families with children, and environment enthusiasts of all kinds.

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.

Best time to do Panchase Trekking

Any time of the year is perfect for going on a trek in this region. But Autumn and Spring season are considered the best time to do Panchase Trekking. While Winter and Monsoon are the least preferred season for trekking.

You can know more about these seasons in brief down below:

Autumn Season

This season is considered the peak season for Panchase trekking. The months of September, October, and November fall under the Autumn season. It is the most crowded time of the year.

Many trekkers visit during this season as the weather and temperature are favorable. It is neither too hot nor too cold, warm during the days and a bit chilly during the night.

The temperature tends to range from 17 degrees to 25 degrees during these months. Also, the already bloomed vegetation of flora and fauna looks awesome throughout the trails.

Spring Season

This season is another peak season after Autumn for Trekking to Panchase. The months of March, April, and May fall under the Spring Season. The routes are crowded with nature during these months.

The weather conditions are nice during this time, as it is sunny during the day and a bit breezy during the night. As for the temperature it ranges from 19 degrees to 5 degrees .

During the early months of this season, nature tends to get its beauty back as you can see the forests get their lost greenery back. Also, the flower buds getting ready to bloom makes the trek quite remarkable.

Winter Season

This season is the off-season time for Trekking to Panchase. The months of December, January, and February fall under the Winter season. These months are the coldest time of the year.

The temperature tends to range from -3 degrees to 6 degrees during these months. It gets very cold but there are low chances of snowfall occurring in Panchase.

The skies are crystal clear giving out the most beautiful view of snow-covered mountain peaks. The weather is warm during the day time but can be freezing cold as night falls.

So, don’t forget to carry warm clothes for this season.

Monsoon Season

This season is the least preferred time to do Panchase Trekking. The months of June, July, and August fall under the Monsoon Season. These months are when heavy rainfall occurs making the paths challenging to walk.

Due to continuous rainfall, the paths are muddy, slippery and filled with hordes of leches. Also, the peaks are covered with dark rain clouds hiding the magnificent mountain view.

Also, the temperature ranges from 20 degrees to 25 degrees during this time. The weather is hot and humid during these months.

There are high chances of floods and landslides blocking the trek paths. So be careful while trekking during this season.

How Difficult is the Route of Panchase Trek?

This trek can be done with your family members. And has been graded as an easy to moderate level climb. Thus, the routes are not very harsh and you can complete this trek with proper training.

If this is your first trek then it can be a bit difficult as you have to walk about 5 to 6 hours a day. And make many up and downhill walks so you need to have a healthy body and mindset.

You can increase your stamina with physical training such as cycling, running, short hikes, swimming, etc. This trek does not require any technical training.

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.

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)

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.

Panchase Trek  is considered short and easy trekking, starting from Pokhara. Panchase is the name of the mid-hill that lies on the south-west side of Pokhara bordering Kaski to the east, Parbat to the west and Syangja to the south of Nepal.  While trekking, you will enjoy unforgettable close -up Himalayan Mountain Views, incredible ethnic and cultural diversity with wildness experience. Panchase hill is inhabited by different ethnic communities such as Brahmin, Magar, and Gurung. The surrounding area has been well- preserved for its biodiversity and natural heritage sites, the rural settlements dominated by Gurung communities.

The journey begins in Pokhara from where you will be transferred to the trek starting point with a short climb. En-route you will enjoy stunning views of beautiful mountains. Panchase hill lies off the beaten tourist path and it is unlikely that you will meet any other hikers around the hill. The topography varies from subtropical valleys abundant with banana trees and rice paddies to high ridges beautified by rhododendron forest. The highest elevation of the Panchase hilltop is 2550m meters from this point one can see a mesmerizing sunrise over the snowy peaks early morning.

Panchase hill trekking is highly recommended for those who are interested in exploring local culture, easy walking trail and non-touristy areas in the Annapurna region . It is an ideal hill- walking in the mid-hill region for a family with children, elderly people and for those who have a short time but would like to see cultural sites and enjoy natural exploration.
