1 Day Arrival at Kathmandu valleyUpon arrival in Kathmandu, Tribhuvan International Airport, we will receive you in a private vehicle and transfer you to a hotel in Kathmandu. Our representative will give you information about guerrilla trekking programs.
At morning after breakfast, a guide will come to pick you up at the hotel. You can drive to the Bus park Bus station, and catch a coach to Beni. During your drive it takes roughly about eight hours to bus ride after Kathmandu.
Begin your journey in Beni Bazaar, nestled in the Myagdi district. Ascend approximately 24 kilometers along a rocky street to reach Darbang. From there, a rewarding three hour hike leads you to Takam, where you’ll be surrounded by majestic hills.
As the magic of the landscape unfolds, you’ll witness a truly untouched Nepal, reminiscent of the days before trekkers arrived. Locals, unaccustomed to outsiders, have compelling stories to share about the region’s history, including tales of war.
Stroll through dense pine forests, with musk deer darting through the undergrowth. Meadows at the edge offer breathtaking 180 degree views of the Dhaulagiri mountain range, extending up to Churen Himal on the west ridge.
Venture from Myagdi to the Baglung region and trek into the former Tibetan refugee camp, once renovated by a Swiss runway during the 1950s. This path leads you to Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve, where you can spot mountain goats and blue sheep.
An avian paradise awaits as you encounter pheasants and migratory bird species rarely seen outside of bird guides. It’s hard to imagine that this very place was once a battleground during the war. In winter, the high fields lay deserted, contrasting with the cow sheds found during the monsoon.
Traversing from Baglung to Rukum, you’ll immerse yourself in the Magar community and enter the former Maoist base region. Dense of forests provide ample cover, making it an ideal hiding spot from helicopter patrols. This picturesque villages often host vibrant Magar festivities.
Hike to Lukum in Rukum, a town populated uniquely by Magars and Dalits (low cast). This is about more or less medieval Nepal these days.
Thabang serves as the cradle of the Maoist insurgency. Its dense forests allowed people to evade helicopter patrols during the war. This region has seen post war improvements, and the hospitable locals warmly welcome visitors.
The most noteworthy point in Jaljale is Dharampani settlement. Dharapani is a nice place located at an altitude of 3,900 meters. In addition, there is an incredible view from Api Saipal in the west to Dhaulagiri in the east.
Presently we’re descending from the high mountains and the town is ethnically blended.
This is the place we at long last get to Rolpa district and the street head. Rolpa was likewise an agitator base zone and for a considerable lot of the ten years of war under absolute Maoist control. You can eat at one of the many collective cafés run by Maoist agreeable, where staffs are family members of the individuals who were executed in the fighting.
Presently, we’re descending from the high mountains, and the town is ethnically blended.
