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.
