Between Kathmandu and Pokhara are three major groups of peaks: Ganesh Himal, Langtang, Manaslu and Himal Chuli and the large Annapurna Himal. This trek is ideal for those wanting to escape from the more popular regions of Annapurna and Everest. It is famous for unspoilt Tamang culture, spectacular views of mountains and colourful rhododendron forest. It also begins conveniently close to Kathmandu.
