Jomsom
to Kalopani via Marpha, Tukuche and Kokepani The
Thakalis have established the tradition of hospitality
to passing traders for centuries along Thak Khola
stretch of the Kali Gandaki between Jomson and
Tatopani.
The overwhelmed and flagstone-lined village of
Marpha is popular for apple farming.
Tukuche at 2590m was once a meeting place for
traders from Tibet.

Kalopani
-Tatopani via Ghasa and Dhana. Thee trial follows
the Kali Gandaki valley. The river cuts a channel
between the peaks of Annapurna 1 and Dhaulagiri
, thus qualifying the kali Gandaki valley for
the title of the world's deepest gorge. We ride
through Gasa at 2080m and one stage takes a precarious
ro route through a very steep and narrow section
of the gorge to take the way to Dana at 1400m.
This is where the difficult track branches off
to Maurice Herzog's base camp, used for his historic
ascent of Annapurna in 1950. Push and carry in
some sections. Ride mostly on newly made wide
track/trekker's track. |

Tatopani
- Beni Tato means 'hot' and Pani means 'water',
a name earned courtesy of the hot springs by the
river. Tatopani is a popular destination for a
shorter trek out of Pokhara. From Tato Pani, we
cross the bridge to the eastern side of the kali
Gandaki (a major river) and shortly afterwards,
the bridge over the Ghara khola (river). Passing
the trail up to Ghorepani, continue south along
the Kali Gandaki the trial rises and falls through
small villages. Under an hour's ride from quieter
and far more attractive riverside village, Tiplyang(1040m)
the trial takes to the bustling market town, Beni
. Buses run along the east bank road to Baglung
and on to Pokhara. Ride mostly on newly made wide
track/trekker's track |
