Rhododendrons in Nepal

HI there
I am heading off for 10 day walk in Nepal in early April. I am wondering if anyone can recomend a walk that goes through areas of Rhododendron forest, hopefully with a couple of different species. Many thanks
Pamos.

I always thought around Ghorapani down from Annapurna the most consistent and one needs to be up high enough in April.

if you are lucky you can see them where ever you walk if at the right elevation
very variable flowering times due to weather and elevation
ask your guide to make local enquiries as it is often just a matter of taking a different path
or ask in each village as the locals will know what is flowering in the forests
lots of different and spectacular displays in Bhutan if you get there
