GHANDRUK by Road travel, NEPAL

Road Travel To Ghandruk, NEPAL

Ghandruk is a famous tourist destination in Nepal. Trekking starts from NAYAPUL, Myagdi, nearly 40 Km from the POKHARA. There is many buses and taxis that run from Pokhara to Nayapul. A gravel road extends from Nayapul to Kimchi of Myagdi district. Length of the gravel road is nearly 16 km. There is some buses and Jeep running between Nayapul and Kimchi. The fare is reasonable. It costs just NRs. 300 (~ US$ 4) to reach Kimchi. But road is bumping and widespread dust.  Ghandruk can be reached after an hour walk from the Kimchi. Newly opened track is closed during the rainy season.

Japan Airlines inflight meals in Tokyo to San Francisco Route

Japan Airlines inflight meals in Tokyo to San Francisco Route 

Inflight service in the Japan Airlines flight from Tokyo to San Francisco is very good. CA are sincere and helpful. The flight is punctual. Flight JL 001 from San Francisco to Tokyo arrived nearly a hour faster than the estimated landing time. This is very good because of the late night arrival at Haneda international airport. I could catch train to home. The only thing is the inflight meals. Inflight meals in the Japan Air flight was good but too cold.

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.
