Short Walks ( 1-2 Hours )

                               (A) Sundari Danda
 A five minutes walk up from your resort is Sundari Danda, literally meaning `beautiful hill' in Nepal. This long ridge is a different world altogether and as such, awaits you to discover it. From here you will not only have magnificent views of the Manaslu Himal and the entire Annapurna massif with their many prominent peaks, but also sights of the twin spring-fed lakes of Begnas and Rupa as the ridge separates them. Just walking along this ridge you could experience close contacts with Nepal's hill people as also with the pristine beauty of the surrounding hill sides. People of diverse ethnic groups live side by side in clusters of hutments co-existing for generations as good neighbors, mainly engaged in farming and fishing. Sundari Danda, though just 15 kms. away from Pokhara town is simply another world. It is well known in the Pokhara valley for its hard working pretty maidens, easy-going men and for a potent millet brew called `Kodo' well-liked for its smoky flavor and mellow taste.


                               (B) Pauraake
 From your resort walk up to Sundari Danda heading eastward along the ridge to Sundari bazaar, a cluster of small shops and inns. Walk along a quiet forested dirt road to Bhanjyang, a small settlement at the ridge end. From here walk along an uphill trail that leads to a large expanse of hardwood Saal and hazel-nut forest to Trisuli Danda, a small hill overlooking the Rupa and Begnas lakes in the distance with the Annapurna massif looming to the north-west. Visit an old health-post which has been non-operative for years and which your resort has recently proposed to the administration to take over, revive and run it for the benefit of local villagers. Continue along the uphill trail to Pauraake, a small, clean Bahun village perched right near the ridge top. Visit some village homes to see the life-style of the local farming folks. We return the same way but if you feel adventurous you may take a steep narrow trail which is a short-cut down to your resort.
