Itinerary description
|
Classic and beautiful 17-day semicircular crossing, going around the Annapurnas massif, in the Himalayas (Nepal), crossing impressive rural landscapes in valleys located at the foot of giants of rock and ice, mountains that exceed the 8,000 meters high: Annapurnas, Dhaulagiri and Manaslu. But as much or more important than the landscape and wild nature that overwhelms us at every moment, with its absolute grandeur, is the human component, which makes itself known to us in its small towns and villages, with its different ethnic groups and religions (Buddhism and Hinduism).
The beginning of the journey takes place in Besisahar at an altitude of 821 meters, ending as a walk on foot in Birethanti, with subsequent transfer by vehicles to Pokhara.
Along the way, the affable character and kindness of the simple people of the country remain in our memory, as well as charismatic landmarks of the route: the visit to Lake Tilicho, located almost 5,000 meters high, and of course, as a true inflection line and the highest point of the trek, the ascent to Thorong La, the highest mountain pass in the world, with its 5,415 meters of altitude, and without forgetting the many temples and places of prayer, Hindu and Buddhist, where you can breathe spirituality in bloom of skin.
The return to the Annapurnas and Lake Tilicho, in short, is a journey that remains indelible in the memory of those who undertake it, for the rest of their lives.
Day 1: Besisahar (821 mts.) To Bahundanda (1,310 mts.). First steps between rice fields.
First steps from Besisahar, capital of the Lamjung district, at an altitude of approximately 820 meters, we cross small villages, walking almost all the time between rice fields, following the course of the Marsyangdi River, a companion that will be inseparable for several days. At the exit of Besisahar, we cross it by the first Tibetan bridge, of the innumerable that we will find, to between rice fields, undertake the ascent to the beautiful and well-kept village of Khasur. Later descent to the valley that makes up the river. As an anecdote, the little leech that stuck in my ankle without my realizing it and that did not go beyond a slight scare. Following one of our customs on the march, we made a brief stop for tea (usually very rich, lemon tea) in the town of Bhulbhule, then lunch in Ngadi and to conclude the day, ascent to the beautiful village from Bahundanda, about 1,310 mts. high, from where you can see beautiful views of the valleys that surround it. Previous beer, light dinner and to sleep at the lodge, which tomorrow will be a new day of walking.

Day 2. Bahundanda (1,310 mts.) To Tal (1,700 mts.). Ascending the course of the Marsyangdi.
