Tips for trekking Arun ValleyChoose your trek mate(s) with great care – On this trek I out a small group of 4 trekkers together & alas I was unable to get along with one of them and this did detract somewhat from the enjoyment of my trek.We might well have invented a whole new job description for this trek – This being Cook/Guide. I was fortunate enough to have trekked with Tej (our Cook / Guide) when I trekked Upper Mustang 4 years ago and Tej was our cook – besides being a good cook he also seemed more knowledgeable about Upper Mustang than our guide !! So when I was organising the trek I asked Nirmal if Tej had also trekked the Arun Valley Trek & he said yes – So I then suggested that if he was willing to carry about 12kg of supplementary food would he like the position, to which he said Yes. This turned out to be an excellent idea as the food available locally was very simple and...
Trek report one–The Arun Valley TrekPlanningMost of the “Bones” of the trek were put together before leaving UK, using the same agent that I have used for all my treks in Nepal (Now 9 over the last 18 years)The trek starts at Tumlingtar & usually people fly there, but I really wanted to travel overland (In Comfort) so to be able to see some of Nepal that I hadn’t yet visited. Nirmal found the solution, an almost new Toyota Landcruiser, this took us as far as Hille where we spent the night in a nice hotel, then continued to Tumlingtar the next day in a Landrover.Nirmal also organised our trekking staff, there were 4 trekkers in our group so the staff comprised One “Guide/Cook” who also carried around 10k of supplementary food (Tinned Tuna and Sardines, Dried meat, salami, Papad, noodles, cheese, muesli, peanut butter, tang, salt & sweet biscuits etc) and 2 porter/guidesThe Arun Valley...

Start off your trek as per The Annapurna Circuit as far as Manang where you will spend an extra night to acclimatise – Then the next night at Khangsar and from there to Tilicho base camp lodge (There are 2 possible routes, High and Low level so make enquiries at Khangsar to which one is the best as landslides keep changing the paths) Then spend two nights at to Tilicho base camp lodge and visit Tilicho Lake on the day in between.Then you have two options1) Trek to Letdar and pick up the route to cross Thorung La2) Return the way you cameIf you wanted to cross over then passes form Tilicho lake to Jomsosm you would need a fully supported camping trek as this takes at least 3 days from Tilicho base camp lodge with no further accommodation available,One other thing is to be aware that a lot of the paths in the Tilicho lake area shown on trekking maps don’t actually exist on the ground...
On my first visit, I didn't even noticed it. It was on my fifth visit to Pokhara that I noticed a white patch on a mountain near Fewa Lake. I asked my Taxi driver, what's that? The answer came, You didn't know about it. It's the world famous Peace Pagoda. I was little amazed that why until now I didn't noticed it. So, my next visit to Pokhara after that was to visit Peace Pagoda. World Peace Pagoda is situated on the top of a hill on the southern shore of Phewa Lake. Before it was a long and upward walk to Peace pagoda but now you can go by Bike (more then half the way) and hike a little to reach there. Well. it's a gain for all that effort and SWEATING! :D The World Peace Pagoda is situated at Minthumki and the height is 1100 meter from Sea level. Height of the pagoda is 115 feet and the diameter is 344 feet. You will get spectacular views of the Annapurna range, Phewa Lake, and the...
