Itinerary description
|
04/18/2024.
Breakfast at 7 and departure towards the beginning of the route which passes adjacent to a police station where you pay for the entry permit into the reserved area of the park. A steel bridge (now they are all comfortable, sturdy and wide) that crosses the Marsyangdi stream takes us to the orographic right bank of the Nar Khola stream. We go up the valley meeting porters who descend with wooden beams on their shoulders (60/70kg) and groups of people with baskets or various bags always on their shoulders. We follow a path that runs along a notch halfway up the rock, always in a very characteristic environment due to the steepness of the slopes that drop steeply towards the valley floor. We pass or are overtaken by caravans of mules carrying necessary goods to the villages lost in the valleys and we begin to feel the thinner air which makes us a little tired. On the other hand, for me today is like climbing to the summit of Adamello.... We arrive at our destination in the early afternoon and I notice that the village is more "modern" than I expected. There are separate closed toilets for tourists and locals, rooms without heating but with beds and mattresses. The dining room is often used first by tourists and then by locals and is not always heated but that's right, we are in Nepal at 3500m, let's adapt.
