If you just
visit in Nepal for short duration and interested for trekking after arriving
Nepal this trekking is suitable for you. Similarly if you don't have enough
time to do the en-tire Annapurna circuit, this trek provides almost as much
cultural diversity. At the start of the trek, you pass first through Brahman
and Chhetri villages, then Gurung and Magar villages, and finally, along the
Kali Gandaki, Thakali villages. |
