Take a boat from Lakeside across Phewa Lake to the south shore. A flight of forest steps climbs to the World Peace Pagoda, and then forest paths and a jeep track through Lukum Swara lead to Bumdi, about 9.9 km with 820 m of climbing. Operators quote three to four hours, and our map suggests five to six hours with the boat and the steps, so we use our estimate. Bumdi is at about 1,520 m, and the Himalayan View teahouse and others offer beds. Walk slowly in the heat and carry water.

The Panchase trek is a four-day ridge walk from Pokhara over the forested range west of Phewa Lake. It starts with a boat across the lake and the forest steps to the World Peace Pagoda, follows paths and a jeep track to Bumdi, climbs to the village of Panchase Bhanjyang, crosses the Panchase summit at about 2,500 m, and descends to Bhadaure and Naudanda for the drive back. On our map it is about 36 km with 2,280 m of climbing, and it has views of Machhapuchhre and the Annapurna range from the ridge. The nights are in teahouses at Bumdi and Panchase Bhanjyang, and in a lodge or camp at Bhadaure. It needs no flight, and sources disagree on whether a permit is needed, so confirm with your agency. Trekking poles help on the long runs of stone steps.
The plan follows four operator itineraries, from KimKim, Buddha Air Holidays, Himalayan Local Guide and Third Rock Adventures, which agree on the order of Bumdi, Panchase Bhanjyang, Bhadaure and Naudanda. We give our own estimate for the first two days, because our map shows longer distances than the three to four hours some operators quote. October and November are the clearest months, and the monsoon brings leeches and overgrown trails.
What the trek is like
After the boat, a flight of forest steps climbs to the Peace Pagoda, and a long traverse through forest and village paths reaches Bumdi. A steady climb leads to Panchase Bhanjyang, and from there stone steps climb to the summit and a small temple beside a pond. The descent to Bhadaure follows a ridge with no villages, so carry food and water.
Permits and rules
Operators disagree. One says no permit is required for Panchase, and another says an Annapurna Conservation Area permit and a TIMS card are needed. The Annapurna Conservation Area permit costs NPR 3,000 for foreigners. Ask your agency to confirm for your route.
Best season
October to November and March to April; the monsoon is not recommended.
Getting there and away
Pokhara's Lakeside is the start, with a boat across Phewa Lake. From Naudanda a taxi or jeep takes you back to Pokhara in about an hour.
Difficulty and fitness
The trek is moderate. There are about 2,280 m of climbing over four days, and the second day is the longest at about 10.8 km. Stone steps are hard on the knees on the way down, and in the monsoon leeches and slippery steps are the main difficulty. It suits first-time trekkers who walk regularly.
Budget notes
The costs section uses Nepal-wide lodge and meal ranges for low-altitude nights plus a guide, a porter and transport lines that we show as items to check. The Annapurna permit is not included, because sources disagree on whether it applies to this ridge.
What to pack
A rain jacket, a warm layer for the ridge, trekking poles, sun protection, leech socks in the wet season and enough food and water for the stage between Panchase Bhanjyang and Bhadaure.
Guide rule
Agencies disagree on whether Panchase needs an ACAP permit. If your route passes an ACAP checkpoint, the Annapurna wording applies: the Nepal Tourism Board April 2023 guide rule, which 2026 operator reports say that checkpoint enforces (checked 19 October 2026). See the guide rule by region.
Sorotan
- Sunrise on Machhapuchhre and the Annapurna range from the Panchase viewpoint
- A boat across Phewa Lake and the steps to the World Peace Pagoda
- Forest and stone-step trails above Pokhara
- The small temple beside a pond at Panchase
- A short, quiet alternative to the Poon Hill and Mardi Himal treks
Peta laluan
Hari demi hari
Anda tidur 545 m lebih tinggi daripada malam sebelumnya, melebihi garis panduan biasa 500 m. Berjalan perlahan, minum banyak air dan perhatikan sakit kepala atau loya.
A climb of about 10.8 km and 810 m, about five hours, leads from Bumdi along a forest path and dirt road, past Thulunchour, to Panchase Bhanjyang, at about 2,065 m. Operators give four to five hours, and one gives four hours 45 minutes in the other direction. The route is mostly a footpath with some road, and views of the mountains open as you climb. Panchase Bhanjyang is a small village with teahouses. Arrive with time to explore and watch the afternoon light on the peaks.
Rise early for the climb of stone steps to the Panchase summit, at about 2,500 m, in time for sunrise over Machhapuchhre and the Annapurna range. A small temple beside a pond lies on the ridge. Then descend about 7.4 km, with 820 m down, to Bhadaure, three to four hours in all, with no villages or shops on the way, so carry snacks and water. Bhadaure is at about 1,670 m by operators, and lodging is a lodge or a camp just above it.
A last walk of about 7.9 km, 440 m of descent, takes two and a half to three hours, down stone steps and then a jeep track to Naudanda on the highway. One operator gives 6.5 km and two hours, and our map is slightly longer. A taxi or jeep meets you at Naudanda and drives you back to Pokhara in about an hour, in time for lunch. The track is steep in places, so poles help, and in wet weather watch for leeches on the lower section.

Soalan lazim
This plan takes four days and three nights from Pokhara to Pokhara, about 36 km. Operators sell versions of three days from Kande or Bhadaure and longer plans of seven to nine days.
The Panchase summit is about 2,500 m, according to operators, and Panchase Bhanjyang is about 2,065 m, which the elevation model supports. Bumdi is about 1,520 m.
Sources disagree. One says none is needed, another lists the Annapurna Conservation Area permit and a TIMS card. The Annapurna permit is NPR 3,000 for foreigners, so confirm with your agency which applies to your route.
October to November has the best views, and March to April has more flowers. The monsoon, from May to September, brings leeches and overgrown trails.
Not between Bhadaure and Panchase Bhanjyang. A guide warns that there are no stops or villages there, so carry snacks and enough water.
