Did the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek in March with guide Karma who was absolutely brilliant. The amphitheatre at ABC (4,130m) completely blew me away - Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Machhapuchhre surrounded us in a perfect circle. The 10-day pace allowed perfect acclimatization. Rhododendrons were starting to bloom in the forests. The hot springs at Jhinu Danda were heaven on tired legs. Himalaya Hub organized everything flawlessly from Pokhara pickup to finish. Highly recommend this trek and company.

Syaklung Village Was So Charming
Syaklung village at 1,730m was so charming. Stone houses, prayer flags, and the warmest Gurung hospitality. A family invited us for tea and homemade food and our guide translated everything. We laughed so much that evening. Himalaya Hub is a professional trekking company and those genuine village moments are what make their treks so special. The Royal Trek through the Annapurna foothills is the most peaceful and cultural short trek from Pokhara. Rupa Lake on the descent was so beautiful too. Great service from start to finish. Life changing short trek in Nepal.
I did the Royal Trek with my parents who are in their 60s and it was perfect for all of us. Low altitude, gentle trails, friendly villages, and incredible mountain views. Our guide was so attentive and always made sure everyone was comfortable. He carried my mother's bag on the steep sections without being asked. Himalaya Hub is one of the best trekking agencies in Nepal for family friendly treks near Pokhara. The Gurung villages along the route were so genuinely welcoming. The Royal Trek is proof that you do not need to go high to see something truly beautiful. Knowledgeable guides and safe and well organized throughout.
Chisapani was the best viewpoint of the whole Royal Trek. Dhaulagiri to the west and the whole Annapurna range to the north. Our guide woke us early for that view and it was worth every cold minute. Himalaya Hub is a great local trekking operator near Pokhara. The Annapurna panorama trek experience was stunning. Best guide in Nepal.

Begnas Lake Was the Perfect Ending
Ending the Royal Trek at Begnas Lake with boating on the calm water and the Annapurna range reflected in it was the most perfect ending to any trek I have done. Our guide found us the best boat and celebrated the finish with us on the water. He was so warm and generous the whole trek. Himalaya Hub is a trusted trekking agency in Nepal and their route ending at Begnas Lake was such a thoughtful touch. The Royal Trek Nepal is the most relaxed and beautiful short trek near Pokhara. One of the best trekking agencies in Nepal.
The Sanctuary Exceeded Every Expectation
