Ghandrung is a short and easy cultural trek,
providing an insight to the lifestyles of Gurung
ethnic community of Nepal as well as great views
of Himalayas that includes Macchapuchre and
Annapurna South. We walk through the river
valleys, rhododendron and orchid bushes, make
some gentle ascents and descents, stop in the
villages of friendly locals and savor the great
views of Annapurna South (7219m), Hiunchuli
(6441m) and holy Mount Machhapuchhre (6997m).
This trek starts from the foothill of Dampus. In
about 3 hour uphill walk you will reach the
ridge of Dumpus. The trail continues to ascend
to Pothana and cross Deorali to make gradual and
long descent to Landrung. You get to see fine
and panoramic view of Annapurna South and
Hiunchuli throughout. After Landrung make steep
descent to Modi Khola and another steep ascent
about an hour to the village of Ghandrung.
Ghandrung is one of the largest villages in this
area with shops, tourist lodges and government
offices. Ghandrung and Landrung are Gurung
villages. In those days Gurkha soldiers were
mostly from these two villages. On the last day
of this 3 day trek the trails from Ghandrung
descends to Modi khola. You walk along the Modi
khola to reach Birenthati and to Nayapul to
catch waiting transport to Pokhara
