Trip Profile:
15 Days Trip 03 Nights in
Kathmandu 08 Day Trekking 01 Night in Pokhara 02 Nights / 3 Days
is Royal Chitwan Day White water Rafting on the Trisuli
River
This is the easiest trek in Nepal
and has few uphill climbs of any significance. Trekking westwards there
are many alternatives. A northern route presents a trek close to the
mountains Manasalu (7945m.), Himalchuli, Baudha (6674m.) and a side trip
to Bara Pokhari, a fine high altitude lake. The more direct southern route
to Pokhara allows a visit to the ancient town of Gorkha with its large
bazaar and fort. This route has the attraction of lower altitudes and avoids the extreme elevation
gains/losses common to other treks in Nepal. The views of the Himalaya are
good on this trek, but you never actually gets into the high mountains. A
lot of the interest and
remoteness of this trek has vanished because the new road to Gorkha has
totally changed the trading habits and culture of the region. Local people
hardly ever walk this route now, so the facilities for food and
accommodation have degenerated. A few westerners travel the southern
routes, but many parts of the northern regions are booth remote and untrammeled by
trekkers.
