Phedi is a small village situated near to Pokhara in central Nepal. It's an arrival/departure point along the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek.

My suggestion:
Before leaving, make sure you stock up on water and snacks in the village.
My review

Be prepared for a climb as soon as you start the trek! Leaving from Phedi along the trail that leads to Dhampus, the next stop will be the Annapurna base camp. This stage is long series of steps that will take you up a further 500m in altitude. Bear in mind that this is just for starters; Phedi is at 1,130m and the Annapurna base camp is 3 kilometres higher at 4,130m!


But don't panic, if you take it at your own pace the hike is not particularly hard and the stunning countryside will make you forget your aching limbs. So, "Good Luck" to all you hiking fans,



*After the devastating earthquakes that shook Nepal in April and May 2015 the country is slowly getting back on its feet. This article was written before these catastrophic events occurred.
