via Short Modi Khola Start side trek (2 days)
Annapurna Region, Nepal

View full itinerary: Annapurna Sanctuary

Rating: |
Difficulty: moderate

The shortest way but a less scenic way to Chomrong that follows the Modi Khola (river) bypassing Ghandruk. If you need to reduce the itinerary by a day this is a possible option. Taking a taxi to the road head will also save time instead of taking the public bus.
