The aim of this blog

This is a blog for hikers who are considering doing this walk. It is not an account of what we did in detail; everyone will make their own journey. 

Its goal is simply to help people to do this interesting trek in a way that gives them enjoyment, enhances the benefits to the region and reduces potential negative impacts. 

It does this in three ways
  • Firstly it is necessary to inform people that this trek even exists given its low profile even within Nepal. 
  • Secondly it aims to manage expectations so that those that do it are comfortable with what is there, and not disappointed with what is not.
  • Thirdly it tries to bring together the few pieces of information that are required. Reliable, authoritative information being one of the most difficult things to find in a country like Nepal.

Getting started



I hope you enjoy your hike!

Bonus!
I have included a few notes on a wonderful 9-day camping trek I did with another trekking partner to Dhaulagiri Italian Basecamp.
