Ghandruk Hotels
Ghandruk is a village in Nepal’s Annapurna region, in the Modi Khola Valley, which offers good views of Annapurna I, the 10th highest mountain in the world. The village stands at just 2,000 m (6,562 ft), so you don’t need to trek at altitude to see snow-dusted Himalayan peaks.
In addition to giving you a glimpse of daily life in Nepal’s mountains, visiting Ghandruk also allows you to learn about the Gurung people, who live in the region of the mountains. During a leisurely couple of days, you can drink tea and wander among prayer flags strung along the streets, taking in the lively atmosphere.
Also, the views from the top are even better if you take one of the many day walks available from here. You can also explore the village’s links to the Gurkhas, which have a long and storied history in the British Army.
Sikles Village can be the alternative option for the Home Stays in Nepal if you don’t have enough time to visit the Ghandruk.
