Description

Annapurna Skyline Trek has been dubbed the 'Royal Trek' since Britain's Prince Charles set foot on it in the 1980s. This trip is recommended for beginners or those with limited time. The compressed trek is offers spectacular views of Annapurna I, Annapurna II, Annapurna III, Annapurna IV, Machapuchre, Lamjung Himal, and Dhaulagiri, while capturing the traditional lifestyles of the tribes whose ancient religious practices and traditions have remained unchanged for thousands of years. . It's not a heavily trekked area, giving all its beauty to one alone.
