KALI
GANDAKI
This
trip is recommended for visitors who are unable to go on a two week trek. On this
route, which begins in Pokhara and follows the course of the Kali Gandaki river,
we will be travelling through one of Nepal's veteran trekking areas. In only eight
days we will first have the chance to visit the famous Poon Hill viewing point,
with views of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri, not forgetting Machhapuchre; and the lovely
villages of Birethanti, Tatopani, Tukuche, and Marpha. We will enjoy the hospitality
and friendliness of the Thakali people. We will go until Kagbeni, the gate of
the kingdom of Mustang. And from there it is one day's journey to the wonderful
Muktinath shrine, visited by both Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims. The journey finishes
in Jomsom, where a light plane will take us back to Pokhara, start and end point
of this classic route.
