Learn about the story behind Millennium Trek

History of Millennium Trek

The Millennium Trek, as its name suggests, is a trekking route that commenced at the beginning of the new millennium in 2000.

It is one of the newly explored homestay (village-to-village) trekking trails in the western part of Nepal. This trekking route runs from Dulegaunda in Tanahun to Rambachha in the Syangja district, traversing through the middle hills of Gandaki Province. The trek offers an elevation range from 420m to 1709m above sea level and is also known as the Mid Hill ridge-line trek. It lies southeast of Pokhara and northeast of Walling Bazaar.
