Family Trekking in Nepal 14 Days.
Family Trekking is One of the classic Himalayan trekking regions, the Annapurnas provide everything a mountain trekker could ask for at lower altitudes than Everest area treks. Its name is indicative of its natural serenity, beauty and the divine presence of the Hindu goddess Annapurna. During the spring the rhododendrons are in bloom while the fall will allow us to see farmers harvesting rice and millet. We'll climb couple of Himalayan hills up to 2800m for exceptional views of the Annapurnas and Machapuchare. We pass through rhododendron forests, fascinating Gurung villages and river valleys.
