Hi @Sharad007 ,
Thank you for sharing your post with us. Was the trekking trail-tough? What did you like the most throughout this experience? Do you have other photos?
Hiking to the highest peak in the Balkans is a very interesting post. You can take a look maybe you will enjoy reading it.
if you go for 3 or 4 nights trek,
Day 1 after 2:30hrs drive from Pokhara,it starts trek 2hrs normally pain hill walking trail.overnight at tikhedhungga
Day 2 1:30hrs uphill stone steps then 3:30 hrs uphill trail, overnight at ghodepani
Day3 about 2hrs before sunrise ,1hr uphill trail to punhill for sunrise and Himalaya mountain view,then get down to ghodepani after breakfast 5 hrs uphill and downhill trek to tadapani,here you can overnight or continue trek 3:30 hrs to ghandruk
Please check my photos on Google maps at tikhedhungga (Bhuktangle 33700), ulleri(Bhuktangle 33700), Machhapuchre guest house(Bhuktanle33700), super view (ghode pani 33200), Hotel fishtail (ghode pani Marg33200),poonhill(Histan mandala 33200),Superview lodgel tadapani(ghandruk 33700), Annapurna guest house and restaurant(ghandruk 33700), Annapurna conservation area,birethati.
Trekking here is not tough compare with Everest trek, because altitude there is much more higher. Costs around 30-50usd per day per person.
October till April suitable time but if you go march last week till April on the way you can see rhododendron booming trees.
Beauty of Himalaya from different places, angle and time.elevation is up to 3200m.natural flora and friendly local people.thrse are main aspects of this trekking.
Thanks
Regards
