Panchase trek isn't a tough trek and more of a relaxed one. The day begins by rowing boat on Phewa lake and it is a wonderful experience. It takes almost half an hour to cross the lake and to reach our trek initiation point. The first short hike of around an hour and we would reach the world peace pagoda on the flat surface of a hill. The hike itself through the dense forest with the view of fewa lake on the bottom and mountain panorama towards northwest is beautiful. Once we reach the top of the hill we will observe the mountain panorama, lake and the entire city. From the pagoda we take a short trail down towards the road and follow the road on and off to a village called Lukum Swara. From here the trail is still uphill and one final ascent would take us to the village of Bhumdi. We walk around 3 hours in total, cover around 10 kilometers and 250 meters in ascent. Overnight in Bhumdi.

Despite Panchase is very close to Pokhara and a very beautiful trek, there are very less amount of trekkers in the region. It is very likely for you to encounter very few or no tourist at all. Not paying much mind to the tourist traffic, we continue our trek on the countryside and on trails through beautiful forest. It's just you, forest, birds singing and the wind whistling and beautiful meadowland. The first noticeable settlement we reach is Sidhane village and from here to panchase is just another hour. The views of mountains in season and when the weather is clear is beautiful. In between the Bhumdi and Panchase bhanjyang you will as well see monkey’s playing in the wild. We walk for around 4 hours today and cover a fair ground of around 10 kilometers.
