Overview

Named after Prince Charles & his 90-strong crew who explored the route in 1981, the royal trek is historical. Since it's less known compared to other treks in the Annapurna region, most of the time it's practically vacant. The royal trek is ideal for travellers who want an adventure off the beaten track. The unspoiled beauty of royal trek takes you through terraced rice fields, vegetables, fruit trees followed by lush forests along the way. En route, you'll be greeted constantly with the charming perspectives of Annapurna Mountain Range.

Talking about the trail the royal route is well maintained & travellers stay at relatively low altitude during the whole trek. This concludes, even the most amateur travellers will be able to give it a go.

At the highest elevation of the royal trek, you will be welcomed by the mesmerizing view of Machhapuchhre(fishtail) & Langtang Mountain.
