About the Trek

The Begnas Thulokot Day Trek starts in Pokhara, where your guide will come to pick you up at 8:30 am and then drive to Begnas Lake. We will have a private vehicle which will drop you off at the trek starting point. Then your guide will take you along the trekking route that takes us to Kalikasthan village. It will take about 45 minutes to reach this small settlement, located on a hill that overlooks the Annapurna range. Here you can explore the untouched and less modern villages, compared to villages located on other trekking routes in the Annapurna region. Then we will continue our walk to Thulokot, which means “Big Settlement” in Nepali. Thulokot offers excellent views of the Annapurna range, Machhapuchhre and panoramic views of the Pokhara valley, Phewa Lake and Begnas Lake. The trekking is about an hour from Kalikastan to Thulokot which is an uphill climb.

After admiring the view, we will start our gentle downhill trek to Kaulekot village, which is home to some different castes and ethnic groups of Nepal. We will continue our trek down to Begnas Lake, about 3 hours from Thulokot, where we will take a boat ride to cross the lake. At the completion of our excursion, you will be dropped back off at your hotel in Pokhara.
