Khudi in Lamjung District
is a major gateway to the Annarpurnas, a famous trekking
destination. The beautiful villages of Ghalegaun and
Ghanpokhara lie to the Northwest of Khudi at the top
of the nearby hills. They are situated at an altitude
of 2016 metres and 2050 metres respectively. Ghalegaun
and Ghanpokhara are mainly Gurung settlements nestled
amidst mountains, rivers, streams, waterfalls and green
forests.
The view from the villages
stretches from Buddha himal, himalchuli and Manaslu
to the northeast Mt. Lamjung and Annapurna II to the
north and Mt. Machhapucchre and Annapurna South to the
Northwest. The approach to Ghalegaun-Ghanpokhara is
a wonderful experience; the mists of the early mornings,
the beautiful Khudi and Midim rivers; beautiful rhododendrons;
chirping sound of the birds simply takes one to the
far away place and completely with the nature. The trekking
route passes through he dense forests, villages and
awesome waterfalls.
