Trekking in Nepal
|
|
|
Off the Beaten Track |
| |
Undoubtedly, the Annapurna
and Everest region offer the most beautiful trekking routes in
the world. Over 60% of the trekkers in Nepal trek better-known
trails in Annapurna region. Due to this over concentration of
trekkers in these particular areas, a negative impact on
environment has been noticed. Here we are introducing some of
the very interesting routes which are less crowded and suitable
for those trekkers who would like to repeat or who would prefer
to preserve the solitary aspect of their Himalayan trekking
experience. |

The valley is described as “one of the world’s most beautiful
valleys”. After a free day at Kuanjin Gompa (3749m), we descend
to Syabru and from there climb up to the Buddhist monastery,
Sing Gompa (3350m). The view of deep Trisuli River in between
Ganesh (7406m) and Langtang (7245m) is outstanding. Other

even Annapurna and Dhaulagiri. Then comes in the holy lake
