The entire Ghorepani area is densely forested with rhododendron, the national flower of Nepal. Every spring red blossoms cover these forests; a magnificent blanket of red in the backdrop of the Annapurna range. From Ghorepani, trekkers will descend towards the beautiful Gurung (local ethnic group) village of Ghandruk on the lap of the Annapurnas. The village is known for its traditional houses, rich culture and the great landscape. Walking down the steps through Birethanti we catch our vehicle waiting for us at Nayapul for Pokhara.
