North
Gorkha Trekking
Introduced in spring 2001, this splendid
and easily accessible trek should become
very popular.
Completely
unspoiled it includes some of the most
varied and rewarding trekking in the
kingdom, through an area between the
Dorandi Khola and Buri Gandaki. Starting
from the old capital of Gorkha, our
route climbs a hill overlooking the
snowy peaks of the Himalaya and where
the old royal palace known as Gorkha
Durbar towers the bazar.
Descending through terraced fields we
pass by Khanchok and we climb across
a forested area to our highest point
at Darchye (3220m) : from that place
we have a superb panorama of more than
twenty high peaks such as Ganesh Himal,
Sringi Himal, Buddha Himal, Himalchuli
and Manaslu.
Our
route descends through rhododendron
forest and high pastures towards the
Soti Khola on the Manaslu circuit route
before ending at Arughat.
