This is a one of the best highland and relatively easy short trek to the Annapurna Region for those who want to see the Himalayas from close but do not want to trek on the more crowded main trail. Machhapuchhre model trek is the newly opened trekking area in Annapurna conservation area. The fresh trekking trail is less crowded. Route of Machhapuchhre trekking covers seven major villages that hold huge potential for trekking and hiking activities inside hidden cultures of the rural valley. It provides Perfect Mountain views of Mt. Machhapuchhre Hiunchuli, Mardi himal and Annapurna himalayan ranges. Rich vegetation, scenic beauty of streams along with typical cultures and lifestyle of different ethnic group in the region makes really a true experience. Although some of the villages have developed local homestay targeting tourists, we make camping arrangement for entire Machhapuchhre model trek as our 6 days trekking itinerary to and from Pokhara.
