Ghandruk trek is one of the famous short and sweet treks in Nepal. The major highlight of this trek is Ghandruk village situated at an altitude of 2012 meters above sea level and is inhabited by Gurung people. Gurung is one of the major ethnic groups of Nepal having their own religion and culture. This trek offers an excellent view of Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre and Himalchuli. The route passes through rhododendron forest and mesmerizing traditional villages where we get a nice opportunity to witness the countryside Nepalese culture and tradition. This trekking is also suitable for the children or weary trekkers because it doesn't entail any particularly long walking day and ascents to high altitude.
