What is Ghandruk Famous For?

Ghandruk is best known for its Gurung ethnic community, traditional stone houses with slate roofs, and clear views of Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), and Hiunchuli. The village has both an Old Ghandruk and a New Ghandruk section, each with its own charm. You’ll also find a Gurung Cultural Museum that shows tools, clothes, and stories about local life.

When you explore Ghandruk Village Tour, you’ll see terraced fields, old temples, and narrow stone paths where kids play.
