If you visited Nepal and you didn't Trek, then you missed the major part of your travel. After all Nepal is one of the famous Trekking destinations in the world. As Trekking demands high level of physical fitness, it might not be possible for everyone to Trek the popular Trekking routes such as Annapurna Base Camp Trek or Everest Base Camp Trek. Therefore a mini trek to Panchase is suitable for those who are not Trekking fanatic but still want to experience small slice of Trekking, just because they don't want to miss anything about Nepal.
This short Trek to Panchase offers something to everybody regardless the age or fitness abilities. The starting point of this Trek is 15KM west of Pokhara, a place named Kande from where the Trekking begins. As you go upward, the Local people will warmly welcome you.
There is a place named Deurali, from where a sunrise view is possible. You will be amazed to see how sun kisses the tip of Fishtail Mountain. You will witness the subtropical valleys of banana trees, and rice paddies field covered by Rhododendron forest on the way. Because of the tropical trees and Orchids, this Trek will be interesting for those who love bird watching. Once you will reach the top, you will feel high on life.
Therefore, if you are planning to visit Nepal and you don't have much time but you still want to experience Trekking, then a Trek to Panchase is perfect for you. As this Trek is of short duration, we have termed this Trek a short and sweet Trek.
