This trail leads to the Annapurna base camp via the hills of the southern slopes of Annapurna, Gurung villages, rice paddies, terrace cultivation and rhododendron forests. It offers impressive views of Dhaulaghiri, Annapurna (both over 8000m) and other less known but equally spectacular mountains such as Machapuchare (6993m) and Nilgiri (7061M).

The route which is relatively easy, is ideal for a first trek in the Nepalese countryside.
