Why different

Panchase trek is a rare mixture of witnessing snowy peaks, turbulent rivers, crystal clear lakes, and deep gorges, hot-springs, charming villages, occupied by simple and hospitable ethnic people. However, though Panchase trek is one of the best trekking routes that bestows the stunning views of gigantic mountains, it is less chosen.
