It gained its name because Prince Charles
trekked here. This is an easy and a short
trek that offers good mountain views,
ridge walking, forests, rice fields and
different cast villages. If you are doing
this trek in the summer the river may
be difficult to cross due to flood. After
crossing the river the trail ascends to
Kalikastan, a walk on the ridges of the
mountain with spectacular views of Annapurna
and Lamjung Himal, through the Gurung
village, rhododendron and sal forest.
Half way through the walk there is a 400m
descent and 600m ascent to arrive at Chisapani.
This is the best point to see the Himalayan
panorama. You will see the Dhaulagiri
to the west of Annapurna.
