Summary:
I did this trek in June 2025. Definitely leave early morning this time of year to avoid the high heat and also before the daily clouds move in. But it will likely be arranged that way. We set off at 6am and were back to Pokhara just before 1pm. So a good half-day excursion, which was perfect as I only had a short time in Pokhara but wanted to do a trek that would allow me to experience the Himalayas even if from a distance. My guide was Gobinda and he proved the perfect guide and companion. He has years of experience in treks long and short and is from a village in this region so knows the area intimately. He provided a lot of background and history and I also took the opportunity to grill him on other possible, longer treks for another trip. In terms of difficulty, if the heat is up you will be challenged a bit and there is about a 700 meter elevation gain. The highlight is, besides the views themselves, is Dhampus village, a picturesque farming village that sits high on a ridge and where you'll have lunch taking in the views of both the Annapurna range and the valleys below. Very peaceful. Then begins a fairly steady and sometimes steep descent into the valley. Bring lots of water if doing this in summer and sun screen. I had a hat which was invaluable. Highly recommended.
