Panchase Trek
Panchase is also known as the hidden paradise. Punchase, which means Panch: Five Asan: the seat, is the meeting place of the five peaks covered with a lush green forest of diverse flora and fauna. Panchasse lies in the west of Pokhara city, about a day's hike away at an altitude of 2517m, from sea level. There are old, stone-stepped pilgrimage approaches upon which one can climb past the grassland and paddy field to the vastness of Panchase, from where the magnificent view of Annapurna massif is visible so close as if one could reach out and touch them.
