 This
is the easiest trek in Nepal and has few uphill climbs of any
significance. Trekking westwards there are many alternatives.
A northern route presents a trek close to the mountains Manasalu
(7945m.), Himalchuli, Baudha (6674m.) and a side trip to Bara
Pokhari, a fine high altitude lake. The more direct southern
route to Pokhara allows a visit to the ancient town of Gorkha
with its large bazaar and fort. This route has the attraction
of lower altitudes and
avoids the extreme elevation gains/losses common to other treks
in Nepal. The views of the Himalaya are good on this trek, but
you never actually gets into the high mountains. A lot of
the interest and remoteness of this trek has vanished
because the new road to Gorkha has totally changed the trading
habits and culture of the region. Local people hardly ever walk
this route now, so the facilities for food and accommodation
have degenerated. A few westerners travel the southern routes,
but many parts of the northern regions are booth remote and
untrammeled by trekkers.
