Bimthang is a beautiful town, like everyone else, located on a plain. It is located on the edge of the forests and near the beginning of the glacial languages.
Bimthang is having a great development and they are building enough lodges to serve the mountaineers. We were touched by beautiful and comfortable rooms. But another group that was in 2018 had problems of accommodation because they arrived very late to the town. Keep it in mind.
We begin to walk next to the tongue that three glaciers have formed. We pass it following the path on the right. After several days we walk through an area of vegetation and enter an extensive forest with large trees and species unknown to us, except for the rhododrendos, Above the glasses stand great snowy peaks. The path approaches the Marsyandgi River. Information about it: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%ADo_Marshyangdi. In Besisahar we will see a large power plant that harnesses its strength.
From here we will follow its course. There are many fallen trees due to some storm. The path becomes a path. In a bend the first village appears and the first girls greet us. We are in Khorte. We continue to enjoy the landscapes offered by the river and forests. Separated by the channel we see a large group of monkeys playing on a beach.
In Shurki Kola in a heavenly place we stop and have a few beers. We are sad to leave the place. The road transforms into what is a work of a great road.
In the middle of it a father goes with his baby in his arms. He teaches us proud. At his side another son. We think that you will return to one of the villages on the road returning from Jagat. At the bottom of the valley located on the side of the mountain we see Jagat.
We arrived at a nice hostel. It shows that it is a larger town with more services.

DHARAPANI Llegada etapa 11
We arrived in Dharapani after going through quite dangerous places. There have been several cave-ins and the feeling is that the land is in many loose places. In the town there are works and heavy material to carry them out. That makes there a lot of mud. The lodge is very good. It's called Green Park. There are enough people to ask for a room but it is complete. There is a group of Spaniards. Due to the number of people passing by, it is evident that we are on the route of the Annapurnas. A while before arriving at the town I see a person on the ground. I approach and it is a man who is resting. He goes with his two children. One newborn
