Deurali is a Village Development Committee in Kaski District of the Gandaki Province of north-central Nepal. At the time of the 1991 Nepal census, it had a population of 2,882.[1] The base camp of Mount Machapuchare is situated at a 6-hour uphill trek from the village.

Being the furthest human-settled village en route to the Machapuchare base camp, Deurali falls in an avalanche-prone region, with the most recent incident of human casualty reported on January 17, 2020.[2]

Deurali also serves as a key stop on the Annapurna Base Camp trek. The trail from Deurali to Annapurna Base Camp spans 7.7 kilometers and takes approximately 4 to 5 hours of gradual ascent, following the Modi River past scenic alpine terrain and icy rock walls.[3]
