Nepal’s geography has had a huge effect on the culture of its people.

Adventure seekers and hikers may find Nepal to be a treasure trove of lush green forests, beautiful rivers, and breathtaking mountain circuits. This beautiful nation of hills and mountains makes for an excellent paradise for travelers, adventurers, and explorers looking for great trekking or sightseeing experience.

Furthermore, for people looking for a quality trekking experience in Nepal, an underrated place to visit is Upper Mustang. Trekking up Upper Mustang is the only way to experience the mysterious world of Mustang, also known as Lo. Once forbidden by the outside world for hundreds of years, the region of upper Mustang and the people have evolved its unique culture and traditions into a fascinating spectacle for tourists despite the region’s isolation.

About Upper Mustang

Mustang-also called Upper Mustang-is an arid river valley situated on the northern side of the Annapurna Circuit. Though Mustang is in Nepal, it is similar to Tibetan stances to Nepali, both culturally and geographically. So, get ready to experience mixed Tibetan traditions while in Nepali Places.

The Trek to the Upper Mustang allows you to experience the wilderness of Lo Manthang with the Astounding Blend of Buddhism Religion. At the same time, the staggering views of Mt. Nilgiri, Mt. Hiunchuli, Mt. Machhapuchre, and Mt Annapurna will surely take your breath away.

Getting Ready for the Mustang Trek

Mustang is widely famous throughout Nepal for being a difficult, cold yet beautiful place. Furthermore, the region is a vast expanse of dry land, and yet it is full of life and beauty. It receives the least rainfall of all Nepalese regions, making it one of the driest places in the country.

In order to graciously navigate through the beautiful locations throughout the upper mustang trek, necessary preparations should be made accordingly. In addition, the highest point of the Trek is located at an altitude of 4,010 meters. Even though it might not be much for frequent trekkers, it can still be quite an elevation for first-time trekkers. Due to the difficulty in adapting to such a high altitude, people with lung disease should avoid or take precautions before attempting such activities. Furthermore, people whose bodies are at such elevated altitudes may experience altitude sickness. However, the length and difficulty of the Trek can depend on how comfortable you are with hills and off-road paths.

Many people visit Mustang to enjoy the snow, visit the Muktinath temple and trek through the Upper Mustang area. The cold temperature in the region can be a big factor while on the Trek. So, we suggest you bring along the following things with you.

Necessary Permits and Accommodations

A Restricted Area Permit is required for trekkers going to Upper Mustang. Government officials will check your pass at Kagbeni on the way in and out of the Trek. In addition, you must also obtain an Annapurna Conservation Area Permit to enter the area, and you must go through a government-registered agency to obtain such a permit. 

The area around the Upper Mustang region has been gaining popularity as a major tourist attraction site due to the lovely scenes and location throughout the Trek. Depending on where you decide to spend the night, lodgings range from small teahouses to decent lodges with good facilities.

Itinerary and the Trek itself

For average adventurers, the whole of the Upper Mustang may take 10 to 15 days to complete. Initially, you need to get to Jomsom before officially starting the Trek.

Located in the same region as the popular Ghorepani Trek and Annapurna Circuit, Panchase Trek is one of Nepal’s hidden natural and cultural gems. Located just north of Pokhara Valley, Panchase hill (2500m) is one of Nepal’s top Himalayan sightseeing sites. Graceful adventure travel designed an easy and short trek to Panchase hill that takes you to some of the country’s most exotic natural and cultural landscapes.

One of Nepal’s easier treks, this four-day Trek is ideal for families, elderly travelers, or those who just wish to enjoy nature and the outdoors more steadily. We trek for only three or four hours each day, so you have enough time to stop and cherish the views, take photographs, and have a relaxing evening in a village to witness or even participate in-local village life at the end of the day.

On your Trek to Panchase, you will enjoy a magnificent view of the Annapurna Mountains, Manaslu, Dhaulagiri, Ganesh Himal, and many more peaks. This fascinating hiking adventure will allow you to explore the paradise city of Nepal, along with hiking through the Annapurna region’s wilderness and enjoying the region’s cultural settlements. However, the most noteworthy features of this Trek are the beautiful forest through which you trek and the expansive views of the mountains.

About the Region

The woods in the Panchase area are very biodiverse, and a good portion of them is classified as protected forests. It has an incredibly large number of orchid species, with more than 100 varieties, so don’t miss seeing the beautiful flowers. Besides seeing the three mountains with heights greater than 8000 meters (Dhaulagiri, Annapurna I, and Manaslu) along the trail as well as from Panchase Peak, there are several other less high (but still impressive!) mountains like Machhapuchhare, Lamjung, and Annapurna that are visible.

Purchase and its surroundings have a population of about 70,000 people. These areas include Kalabang, Chitre, Bhadaure, Talibarang, Arthare, Deurali, and Shane villages. If you plan to stay in one of these villages, you must make a reservation in advance, and you need to arrive before sunset.

In addition to reaching the World Peace Pagoda, the route will take you through forests where you can observe and appreciate the flora and fauna of Nepal and through several villages where you can learn about the life of the locals. Finally, on the summit of Panchase Hill, you will reach an elevation of 2500m from where you can view a stunning sunrise over the Himalaya Giants if you’re awake early enough.

For spiritual tourists, you might be interested in knowing that in Hinduism, Panchase is a name given to the five female seats of the divine mother. Panch means five. It originates from the root word asana yoga (physical posture). There were five levels of existence in ancient yoga, which is represented by the number five.

Necessary Permits and Accommodations

The Trek to Panchase village is relatively short and not very far from the city. Therefore, every trekking destination around Annapurna requires a TIMS card and an ACAP permit. But, they are not mandatory for Panchase Trek due to their location.

 Similarly, Accommodation on this route is more basic than other popular treks such as Ghorepani Poon Hill or Annapurna Circuit Trek. In villages such as Kalabang and Pumdi, locals offer homestay services. People who love experiencing local culture and don’t mind going through basic facilities have the chance to see the locals and their way of life up close. The food is usually rice, potatoes, noodles, eggs, momos, chapatis, etc., and tea and coffee are served for beverages at the tables.

Preparing for the Trek

From Pokhara to Panchase, the hikes are neither high altitude nor rural; furthermore, they are short and relaxing, with beautiful sceneries throughout the journey. So you should prepare accordingly.

The gorgeous hills and mountains, along with luscious forests and mini pockets of adventure-oriented places, make a visit to various places of Nepal uniquely exciting.

You will not find a wider range of activities in Pokhara than anywhere else in Nepal. Therefore, if you want to experience most of the exciting activities in Nepal without traveling a lot, this is the place to be. Furthermore, the variety of activities in Pokhara valley, including rafting, hiking, cycling, boating, Paragliding from Sarangkot, chartered flights, sightseeing, and bungee jumping, might seem overwhelming even for regular travelers.

However, among all these exciting, if I had to choose a personal favorite, I’d definitely go with Paragliding from the famous Sarangkot hill. Despite Sarangkot’s monopoly on Paragliding activities, the experience of Paragliding in the sky of Pokhara via Sarangkot is rarely matched by any other activity. To add to that, despite trying most of the things available in Nepal, Paragliding has been my favorite for a long time.

The Excitement of Paragliding

It might make sense to wonder why you ought to consider partaking in Paragliding over bungee jumping or boating, among the countless options for passing your Time. But, the whole experience of getting ready for Paragliding and the thrill and rush after the event can’t be explained by words.

However, for conversation’s sake, here are a few reasons opting for Paragliding can be much better than the other alternatives. 

• It is impossible to compare the thrill and adrenaline rush you experience during a takeoff from the ground.
• As you’re flying through the sky, you’re greeted by fresh air hitting your face, giving you a sense of living life on the edge.
• While it may seem dangerous, Paragliding is actually one of the safest sporting activities in the air, thanks to the reverse parachute, multiple safety belts, and a guide’s seat.
• You’d probably feel more comfortable Paragliding than you are right now sitting in your chair.
• Several benefits of Paragliding include increasing self-confidence and decreasing stress.
• Taking part in Paragliding improves balance and strengthens the core, and you are never likely to get hurt by an equipment malfunction.

Apart from all these excellent benefits, Paragliding in Sarangkot offers much more entertainment to foreigners or people within Nepal.

Known as the Queen of the Himalayan Lakes, the Rara Lake Trek offers wilderness and solitude as you hike along the pristine mountain lake of Rara. For national and international tourists and adventurers alike, Rara Lake Trekking is a magnificent trip to a remote part of the midwest region of Nepal that resembles something out of a fantasy novel or heaven itself.

In addition to being the largest lake in Nepal, Rara is the second largest lake in the Himalayas at an altitude of 3010m or 9875ft above sea level. It spans five kilometers long and two kilometers wide. However, the lake’s size remains one of the major reasons for its popularity. In addition to its beautiful surroundings, the lake is a good trekking destination due to the presence of the Rara National Park, and the sight of snow-covered Himalayan peaks further enhances it.

About the Region

Around the region of the lake, you will find 214 bird species and 20 different species of mammals. Located within the protected borders of Rara National Park, the region is surrounded by spruce, pine, and juniper forests which mirror the snow-capped mountains. Furthermore, a mammal such as the Himalayan bears, Himalayan tahrs, musk deers, red pandas, serows, gorals, and langurs, as well as rhesus monkeys, can be found here.

In addition to its 100m deep water, Rara Lake is home to otters and fish. As mentioned earlier, the hike around the lake follows long ridges enclosing mountain pastures and high valleys, providing a unique traveling experience not found anywhere else in the world. Despite all the floras and faunas, the superb view of the lake, forest, hills, and mountains backdrop is sure to captivate you with its extreme attraction.

In spite of the fact that Rara Lake has the bluest water in the world, the lake shows three different colors throughout the day. The background of the lake is also ever-changing. There is very little crowding on this route, and it is on an off-the-beaten-path. Thus, it is great for people seeking solitude and communion with nature.

Necessary Permits and Accommodations

To complete the Trek, you must obtain an entry permit for Rara National Park. Fortunately, this permit can be easily obtained at the checkpoint. But don’t forget to bring some money with you in order to acquire the permit.

Accommodations at the start of the Trek contain well-managed hotels and lodges. Further along the Trek, well-facilitated hotels are hard to come by. These paths majorly consist of small teahouses and homestays. However, bringing along tents in order to set up tented camps throughout the Trek would be highly suggestible.

Preparing For the Rara Trek

The tallest point on the Rara trek is at an altitude of 3,055 meters or 10,023 feet. This may not be much elevation for frequent trekkers, but it is still quite a change for newcomers. In addition, the Trek requires the explorers to walk for multiple days.

Have you ever wanted to experience one of the best trekking experiences? If so, we may have the place you’d enjoy that you haven’t been to before, even if you indulge in various trekking or hiking activities. In contrast to the beauty of the Everest Base Camp and Annapurna Circuit Trek, which are quite popular among frequent travelers, the Manaslu Mountain Circuit trek provides travelers with a unique and thrilling experience you’ll surely cherish.

Having witnessed countless national parks, hiking circuits, and trekking treks, we find the Manaslu trek quite unique and underrated relative to other treks. There are a lot of thrilling activities to partake in during this Trek, even though this may not be a prominent location as many others.

About Manaslu Mountain Trek

Nature, rivers, and flora in the Manaslu region are breathtaking. In addition, friendly people and the region’s rich culture, which combines both Nepalese and Tibetan ethnicities, will make your visit to the region quite memorable.

Larky La Pass (5167 m), the highest point on the Trek, offers breathtaking views of some of the world’s highest peaks – Himlung, Manaslu, and Annapurna II. If you are lucky, the Trek is also abundant with wildlife, including Agali, Pika, Tahr, Himalayan Marmots, and even Snow Leopards. As a result of its remote location and physical challenge, the Manaslu circuit trek is both culturally enriching and scenically rewarding.

Preparing For the Manaslu Mountain Trek

The eighth highest mountain peak in the world, Mount Manaslu, lies at an elevation of 8,163 meters or 25,781 feet. As mentioned earlier, the altitude of the highest point of the Manaslu trek, Larky La Pass, is 5,167 meters. So, preparing for the weather conditions and physical difficulties is a must. 

Adapting to this altitude can be a bit difficult for some people. In addition, some might experience altitude sickness and breathlessness from such extreme elevation. Therefore, people with lung ailments should avoid such activities or take all precautions necessary before embarking on such adventures. At the same time, the weather and temperature can also be a big factor to look into. 

During the trekking experience in the Manaslu Circuit, you need to bring along the following things and equipment. We suggest you do the same for a better experience.

• Well-fitting gloves, socks, and shoes or boots
• Trekking sticks
• Snow Glasses and flashlight
• Energy bars
• Moisturizers and lip guard
• Water bottles and thermos
• Portable fire stoves

Even though some of the items and appliances outlined above might not be necessary for the Trek, they would certainly improve your comfort and the trekking experience as a whole. Additionally, if you forgot any of them, you can easily locate them in trek shops, though the price would likely be higher than normal.

Permits necessary

Manaslu Trekking is a well-regulated trekking region. You will have to get a special permit from a local agency. You are also required to have MCAP and ACAP permits. Furthermore, a minimum of two trekkers are required to do the Trek.

Accommodations and facilities

Small tea houses are set up throughout Manaslu, and you will have to stay in most of the night. The services and facilities available in such places are very basic; however, the hospitality of the people is not. Furthermore, giving up high-speed internet and some unnecessary facilities should not be a problem for enthusiastic travelers such as you.

Starting the Trek and Itinerary

Completing the whole Manaslu Circuit Trek might take up to 10 days to 2 weeks, depending upon your pace during the Trek. Initially, you need to acquire a Nepali visa if you’re not from Nepal and get to Kathmandu. Then, from Kathmandu or any other place in Nepal, you need to drive to Soti Khola at an altitude of 700 meters. From there, our Trek begins.

Nepal is a nation filled with adventurous locations and gorgeous mountains, rivers, and lakes. A rafting trip through Nepal’s numerous world-class rivers is a fun and exciting adventure. You can enjoy a day’s rafting or choose a trip that allows you to camp on the river and explore the surrounding culture and geography. Nepal is considered a paradise for river runners. Several grades of whitewater rafting trips are available to suit any interest or preference.

Among the best places to white water raft, Nepal has some of the world’s wildest and most spectacular rivers. Beautiful mountains, exhilarating white water rapids, warm water, and fascinating cultural experiences are what make Nepal one of the world’s top rafting destinations.

You can combine the Tamakoshi River rafting trip with a wildlife safari tour in nearby National Parks or the nearby trekking locations for those interested in a long day’s expedition. Please get in touch with us here at Pokhara Info if you have any questions about rafting in Nepal. We will provide you with the best options and packages. 

About Tamakoshi

In the vicinity of 7181m, the glaciers of Mount Gaurishankar feed the Tse Rolpa Lake, from which the Tamakoshi River originates. The Tama Koshi River is a perennial river fed by snow and glaciers and is a tributary to the Sun Koshi River, which is, in turn, a tributary to the Koshi River. As far as thrilling adventure goes, Tamakoshi River Rafting takes the biscuit. The Tamakoshi rafting is an extremely difficult rafting trip more suitable for experienced rafters.

Kayaking and rafting in the Tamakoshi start from a bridge along the road to Jiri called Busti. The upper reaches of the Tamakoshi River are in the Tibetan Himalayas. There are various major tributaries of the river, such as Astonishing Rolwaling, Jugu, Gumu, Singati, Tineku, Charang, Gopi, Andheri, Khare, Jhyaku, Dholti, Maren, Milti, Khimti. The Tamakoshi River (Copper River) holds a volume almost double that of Bhote Koshi, which makes it an extremely challenging river to raft on. It is generally considered rafting only for those who have a good understanding of the technicalities of sturdy water.

This river is considered dangerous as it is far from the main trekking routes and away from the main trekking routes, but it is still a challenging whitewater challenge. Rafting and kayaking are both popular activities on this river. There might only be a few numbers of people who enjoy rafting on this river. This is a high-risk rafting spot and is not recommended for beginners. However, if you are an experienced rafter, you can test your skills here.
