Dear Baral
This was the first time I booked directly through the WEB , and I thought it's a little risky, especially when I had to send my money to Katmandu and I wend to Delhi .
An interaction programme was organized on June 28, 2005 with twenty Thai Tour Operators who came here for FAM tour to share their experiences during their stay in Nepal .
His Majesty King Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev inaugurated the Promote Nepal-2005 exhibition amid a special ceremony at the City Centre in Doha, Qatar, on June 14, 2005.
After half an hour drive from Pokhara
, you will arrive at Milanchowk, the trek starting
point. From here, after a walk of about 15 minutes,
one crosses the Mardi Khola river and then climb
for approximately 50 meters up to cultivated fields
and scattered settlements. From here it is only
about 2-3 hours to the campsite at Kharapani.
Day 2
Kharpani-Ghalekharka
You will continue on through typical
Gurung villages for several hours before crossing
the Sardi Khola river. After a climb of about 30
minutes you will pass through Tamang villages until
you reach a campsite at Ghalekarkha close to a rhododendron
forest
Day 3
Ghalekharka-Nyaulikharka
Today's walk begins with continuous
climb through beautiful rhododendron forests. The
top of the hill (2600m) at Jhakarphulan is reached
after about three hours. Depending on water availability
lunch may be taken near to this point. The rest
of the day is slightly less strenuous and continues
through dense rhododendron forest. A clearing is
found after approximately 2 hours and a camp is
made at Nyaulikharka.
Day 4
Nyaulikharka-Siklis (1870m)
Continue on through the rhododendron
forest which then becomes indisposed with broadleaf
onto the village of Siklis, the largest Gurung village
of the region. In the village traditional weaving
and knitting can be seen. Tradition dance groups
can be organized (the Ama Samuha or mother's group)
will be more than willing to lay on folk dances
to honor their guests as per the local tradition.
Day 5
Siklis-Yangjakot (762m)
Descend through forest and scattered
village into the beautiful Modi Khola river valley.
A pleasant walk on down the valley with one river
crossing and one quite steep little up and down
leads to a very beautiful setting near Dhoban, where
there are some good camping areas near the river
itself.
Day 6
Modi Khola-Kalikathan (1524m)
Cross a long suspension bridge to
the south bank of the Modi Khola and then a steep
climb up for 460m. The trail winds around the ridgeline
to the west then up on to the crest of the ridge
at Lipyani, a busy little bhanjyang (crossing point)
village.
Day 7
Transfer to Pokhara or onto your next
destination.
Note: Minimum 2 days extra
required for transfers from and to Kathmandu.
