2. What are the Best Short Treks?
Kathmandu and Pokhara valley offers some of the best short treks. There are several good hotels and accommodation in these two valleys and the road network are much better than any other areas. At the most you can drive an hour or so to the nearest road head and start walking. Because of the proximity of road the selected destination are best for short trek. Most of the short treks do not involve flight. A day hike up to the ridge can be extended to 7 days.
The brief description of the area generally represents what you would be seeing throughout the trek either it is a day hike or a week trek. In the longer trek you would see more in different form and varieties. But it provides more opportunities to experience nature and culture. The difference is like taking a glimpse and stare.
The selected treks in Annapurna Foothill are planned with overnight stay in Pokhara either in the beginning or at the end of the trek. If you want to make it easier, especially with family trek, you can also add hotel in Pokhara at either end of the trek. The selected trek in the rim of Kathmandu valley is based on your stay in Kathmandu.
Hotel accommodation is not included in the package cost to enable you to choose by yourself.
