Baglungpani Ghanpokhara Trekking Overview
Baglungpani and Ghanpokhara Trekking is one of the fascinating short treks in Nepal’s Annapurna region. It is also known as the Lamjung Himal Trek. Trekkers have the fantastic opportunity to experience the usual way of life and culture of the Gurung people on this less-traveled trail. You can enjoy mesmerizing views of the Annapurna (8091m), Annapurna II, Annapurna IV, Lamjung Himal, Himalchuli, Machhapuchhre, and many more snow-capped peaks, in addition to cultural exploration.
The Gurung people live in the lovely village of Ghanpokhara, which is situated north of the Lamjung district. With the idea of eco-tourism, these villages are moving in the right direction. Trekkers can take in a variety of ethnic dances performed by the local dancers while strolling through the Gurung villages of Ghalegaun and Ghanpokhara.
These dancers perform while dressed in their native attire. The trekkers are given the option of staying at a home in these settlements. Trekkers can consequently interact and communicate with such residents. By doing this, they can satisfy their interest in the way of life and culture of those who live in rural locations. The locals’ positive attitudes and friendly hospitality add to the enchantment and nostalgia of the Baglungpani and Ghanpokhari trekking.

Baglungpani GhanPokhara Trek Difficulty
The Baglungpani GhanPokhara trek is among the easiest treks in the Annapurna region—the highest altitude of the Baglungpani GhanPokhari. The maximum altitude of the trek is just above 2000m so that you won’t suffer from altitude sickness. Furthermore, the trek also doesn’t pass through several rough trails. The trek is only about 6-7 days, which is why it is among the easiest treks in Nepal.
The weather of Baglungpani Ghanpokhara Trekking
The weather of Baglungpani Ghanpokhara Trekking is based on the season you want to trek. During the peak seasons of Spring and Autumn, the weather remains warm, sunny, and chilly, whereas in winter, it remains cold and gets closer to freezing. Sometimes, there is a high chance of snowfall in the winter season in January and February.
The least ideal season for trekking this trek is Summer/ Monsoon season. Initially, the weather gets scorching and humid, which might irritate some trekkers. As the days progress, the relentless rainfall starts, making the trail slippery and wet. Many insects, leeches, and mosquitoes fester in the trails as most of the route is forests and jungles. Although the weather gets chilly, it is still unsuitable for trekking in monsoon season.
