Royal Trekking is one of the famous and easiest treks in the Annapurna region. This royal trekking is especially suitable for beginners and elderly people. The trek has been named the “Royal Trek” as Britain’s Prince Charles walked it in the 1980s. Royal Trek is an excellent trek to do, as it doesn’t entail any particularly long walking days but plenty to see.
The route gradually climbs up through the ethnic villages and forest of magnolia and rhododendron. The Royal trek offers panoramic views of Pokhara Valley and the beautiful Mt Fishtail (Machhapuchre) as well as Annapurna range to the north and magnificent lakes surrounded by mountains in the south, Lamjung Himal, Manaslu and Himchuli in the east.
A very easy and short trek that offers a glimpse mountain with a beautiful village, unique culture. Panoramic viewpoint from Deurali.

The Himalayan skyline continues to change as the route comes abreast of Annapurna II Lamjung Himal, Manaslu and Himalchuli from Shyanlung. The trail drops steeply down the south side of the hill to a large tree, a Chautara several tea shops, and a police check post.
