It gained its name because Prince Charles trekked here. This is
an easy and a short trek that offers good mountain views, ridge
walking, forests, rice fields and different cast villages. If you
are doing this trek in the summer the river may be difficult to
cross due to flood. After crossing the river the trail ascends to
Kalikastan, a walk on the ridges of the mountain with spectacular
views of Annapurna and Lamjung Himal, through the Gurung village,
rhododendron and sal forest. Half way through the walk there is
a 400m descent and 600m ascent to arrive at Chisapani. This is the
best point to see the Himalayan panorama. You will see the Dhaulagiri
to the west of Annapurna.
