Commencing with an overland journey
to Beshi Sahar, 130 km West of Kathmandu
where we overnight. Our trek follows the
gorge of Marshyangdi river through lush
fields of paddy, innumerable tiny streams,
waterfalls and beautiful villages, eventually
emerging into high desert country at Manang
(3597 m.). The trek gains in height fairly
gently reducing the chances of altitude sickness,
although, we do spend a day acclimatising before
crossing the Thorang-La (5416 m.). From a high
lodge camp we are up early for our crossing
of the Thorang- La (tremendous high mountain
feelings) before our decent to Muktinath in
the lower Mustang region, one of the holiest
pilgrimage sites for Buddhist and Hindu people
in Nepal.
We continue
through the dry arid landscape to Kagbeni,
a fascinating historical fortress town. The
trail back follows the Kali Gandaki River
to Jomsom (optional fly out here) beneath
the shadow of immense Himalayan peaks and
through the deepest canyon in the World.
We descend to Tatopani before ascending to
Ghorepani and Poon hill for some tremendous
sunrise views of both the Dhaulagiri and
Annapurna Himal. A further two days are spent
trekking through beautiful Rhododendron bamboo
and Oak forest before eventually reaching
Nayapul for a short drive to the beautiful
lakeside town of Pokhara. This trek is considered
to be the classic trek in Nepal to experience
the vast bio diversity and cultural heritage
Nepal is renowned for.
