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.
