Ghandruk, Nepal: The best destination for MINI TREKKERS

Ghandruk Mini Trek

Trekking around Nepal himalaya is really amazing and full of breathtaking experience. Nepal himalaya is a part of Himalaya range. Nepal himalaya housed 8 out of 14 mountains with height greater than 8000 m. I cannot imaging to reach near base camp but I wanted to see those mountain as close as possible. So I chose Ghandruk, which is easily accessible. Ghandruk, a famous tourist spot in Nepal, lies in mid western part of Nepal. Nayapul to Ghandruk route is one of the comfortable trekking routes in Nepal. It is also lies in the trekking route to Annapurna base camp (ABC) or PunHill. Pokhara, a beautiful city, is a gateway to Ghandruk. We could see Annapurna South (7,219 m) and Fishtail mountain (6,993 m) very closely. Morning light strike turned both mountain into golden colour, It was splendid view. This is one of the best moments of my life.

Road Travel in Nepal

Roads in Nepal

Nepal is mountainous country and 73 % of territory is either mountain or hilly region. Constructing good road is one of big challenges in Nepal. There are many road accidents all over the year but most occurs especially in summer.

Balephi, Sindupalchok

Surkhet-Dailekh road is one of the most dangerous roads in Nepal. Buses are too old and feel like missing suspension on it.  

Way to Okhaldunga. Is it really a road?

Bus to Okhaldhunga. Tyre punctured after moving for half an hour. Started at 4 PM from Ghhurmi, reached Okhaldunga 11 am next day. It was just around 40 km. At least I heard there is no accident till the date I used. Very old buses. Too many passengers. But the bus drivers are very good and well experienced.

Dailekh, Nepal

Far from the town: Dailekh, Nepal

These photographs were taken in Dailekh bazar, a headquarter of Dailekh district in Mid-western region of Nepal. The exact place can be reached by about half an hour walk from the central Dailekh bazar. I was surprised after seeing these structures which are never been explained in any history books. May be these monuments are not known to many...Who and when these structures were constructed? still not known.... because it lies in the remote place of Nepal. One local resident told us these structures were made by 'Pandav'. If he is true, these were built in pre historic era. These area should have historical importance and these monuments should be considered as national treasure.

One of the most important attractions in Dailekh is deposit of petroleum products and gas. Flame of burning gas in Dailekh, Nepal is evidence of gas deposit in Nepal. It is locally known as  Kalo Jwala. Some petroleum products can be seen floating in the small stream in and around Nabistan temple of Dailekh. This may be economically important gas reserve in future.

I hope, one day some archeologists will explore these area....
