Gorkha to Pokhara Trek is an easy trek providing a wonderful insight into Nepalese rural life with few uphill climbs of any significance. The trail from Gorkha to Pokhara The trail is ancient connecting western Nepal especially Gorkha and Pokhara, a highway of bygone days in the 18th century. There are many alternative routes going west. A northern route provides a trek close to the mountains of Manaslu (7945 m.), Himalchuli, and Buddha Himal (6674 m.) with a side trip to Baraha Pokhari, a fine high-altitude lake. The more direct southern route to Pokhara allows a visit to the ancient town of Gorkha with its large Bazaar. This route attracts novice trekkers and walkers and nature lovers because of its lower altitude although there are some very good views of the Himalayas without actually having to ascend into them.
