In 1950, Annapurna was the first of the
eight thousand meter peaks to be climbed. During the
expedition the leader, French mountaineer Maurice
Herzog, made a desperate hike down to Manang from his
party’s base camp at Tilicho in search of food, only to
be sent back starving and empty handed. Now even the
Managis warmly welcome tourists. Traditional Nepali
Bhattis have evolved hereabout into sophisticated and
comfortable trekkers’ lodges offering varied menus,
private rooms and hot showers, with all the
environmental, cultural and ecological consequences that
these demand.
From the logistical and acclimatization point of view it
makes the good sense to undertake this circuit in a
counter clockwise direction starting at a Beshishar or
Gorkha. I recommend traveling to the town of Gorkha from
Kathmandu as most people do. This will halve your time
spent suffering in a Nepalese bus and give you a
peaceful first few days walk through isolated rural
|
 |
|
countryside. You should be able to
arrange to arrive from Kathmandu with sufficient time to
visit the splendid Gorkha Durbar before setting off into
the valley of Darondi khola. It was from this sanctuary
atop a hill immediately above Gorkha’s main square that
Prithivi Narayan Shah sailed forth in the 18th century
to begin his successful camping to unity Nepal. |
