Royal trek is the trek on the north side of Pokhara Valley along the foothills of Annapurna. We can view the beautiful and magnificent sight of Annapurna range, Machapuchhre and the Langtang Mountain.
A Mountain Kick representative will receive you as you land into Kathmandu and take you to your hotel.
We will take you on a guided tour to three iconic monuments in Kathmandu which are included in the Unesco’s World Heritage List. Our first stop will be the Pashupatinath Temple, one of the biggest and holiest shrines in the world of Hindu god Shiva.
We visit another World Heritage Site of Boudhanath Stupa, one of the largest Buddhist stupas in the country. It is believed that the Stupa is a tomb of an incarnation of Lord Buddha.
We then drive to Bhaktapur to visit the Bhaktapur Durbar Square. The square is a former royal courtyard where there are several ancient temples and monuments to visit. The place is rich in culture and preserves the traditional way of living.
A tourist bus will take you to Pokhara, the famous tourist town on the bank of the Phewa Lake. We reach Pokhara in seven hours and have to pass green hills after hills to get there. Everyone going to or returning from Annapurna stays at Pokhara, so you will meet plenty of travellers like yourself here. The lakeside area offers an amazing nightlife to relax you ahead of your trekking trip.
To reach Kalikasthan, we will drive out of Pokhara for an hour and then trek for four to five hours. At Kalikasthan, we can enjoy the delicious taste of tea with pleasant views of the Begnas Lake and the Himalayas.
From Kalikasthan we will head toward Syaklung which will take at least five to six hours. We will trek along village and there will be magnificent views of mountains all along our way. Following the wood edge all the way through Thulokot and Mathi Thana we will reach Syaklung.
From Syaklung we will head toward Chisapani which is 5 to 6 hours of trekking away. The trail takes us Gurung villages and through rhododendron forests.
Today we will head back to Pokhara, we start our day by walking downhill to Rupa Tal, then uphill to Sundar Danda and then downhill again to Begnas Tal. From here we will reach to Pokhara in no time. You will be transferred to your hotels at Pokhara where you can rest your day.
We take the same road back through which we had arrived at the beginning of our journey. Look out the window from your bus to see what places you remember. The view of the Himalayas in the distance will surely remind you of your travel there. We will host a farewell dinner for you before you leave.
We will see you off at the airport. It will be a happy-sad moment as we know that it is hard to leave this wonderful country but you will be leaving with very rich memories.

As one of the core guiding principles for Mountain Kick, we always give back to the mountain community in any way we can as a means of gratitude. The people who live in the Himalayas and share their homes with us deserve to have all their little problems fixed which seem very basic for outsiders but are commonplace in rural Nepal. The people lack proper access to healthcare, sanitation and education but a little effort from travellers goes on a long way to solve these issues. Mountain Kick has made it its corporate social responsibility to help improve the living standards of the local community. We make donations to their cause, organize social campaigns and programs and also have a few trips designed to mix a little volunteer work in your holiday.
