As one is walking along the peaceful ranges with terraced hills all around, colorful fauna painting the landscape, eagles soaring high above, and the majestic Annapurna Himalayas towering all around, one can feel higher than royalty with the discovery of the natural height of being alive. The five-day Annapurna Skyline Trek has been dubbed the 'Royal Trek' as Britain's prince Charles walked it in the 1980s. It's an excellent trek as it doesn't entail any particularly long walking days and there's always plenty to see. However there is no village inn accommodation available on this route, thus people tend to prefer to do this trek with guided trekking groups.
