Trip Overview

About the Hidden Lake and Glacier Trek

Hidden Lake and Glacier Trek is yet another trek in the heart of Annapurna Sanctuary. This beautiful trek contains a Hidden Holy Lake, which is the major attraction of this trek at an altitude of 4250m. To go to this magnificent area to explore the beauty of hidden lakes and glaciers, you will have to pass through the popular and cultural villages in the Annapurna region, including Ghandruk Village, Tadapani, and Chhomrong.


Besides getting acquainted with traditional Gurung Villages, you can see marvellous mountain views, including Annapurna South, Himchuli, Machhapuchhre, and other mountains, through hidden lakes and glaciers. This is a Camping trek with a few days spent in Teahouses. The Hidden Lake and Glacier Trek starts from the Pokhara valley and takes you towards the Paddy fields, Rhododendrons, and Oak forests.


Passing through the trek, you will be heartily welcomed by the local people. This area is mainly inhabited by the Gurung and Magar communities. They will welcome you in their traditional way, and you can also get opportunities to learn and observe the lifestyle, culture, and tradition of their local people.

 

Tipping Recommendation

We recommend allocating 10-15% of your total tour cost to tipping guides, drivers, and other hardworking staff who ensure your experience is unforgettable. While tipping is not mandatory, it is a meaningful way to support the seasonal workers who dedicate themselves to making your trip extraordinary.

By booking with us and participating in the tipping culture, you are directly contributing to Nepal’s local economy and helping sustain the tourism workforce. This support is crucial in retaining talent within the country and addressing challenges like brain drain.

Your generosity makes a lasting impact—thank you!
