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.
