Questions & Answers
DAY 1: KATHMANDU – TAAL (DURATION: 12 HOURS)
Leave Kathmandu by 7 AM (early breakfast) for the 12-hour drive to Taal in Manang district, north central Nepal. We arrive in Besisahar roughly around noon for lunch. From here we take a local vehicle to go to Taal on a bumpy gravel road along the Marshyangdi river bank. After having our permits checked in Khudigoan, and crisscrossing across the river we arrive at Chyamje. There is a beautiful waterfall across the river here and serves as an ideal tea stop. The road to Taal is an experience in itself and offers scenic views of the green hills and terraces that are a permanent feature of the hill life.
Taal is a beautiful village situated on the eastern bank of the Marshyangdi River. The village has around 300 inhabitants, most of the Gurung community. As the village has long been a part of the Annapurna Circuit there are plenty of comfortable lodges with modest basic facilities to spend the night after the long drive from Kathmandu.
DAY 2: TAAL – TILCHE (DURATION: 5 HOURS)
Our first day of the trek begins from the sleepy village of Taal along the river bank. About an hour from Taal we come to the village of Khotro (2200m) from where the trail turns east and a steep 2.5-hour-long climb up the hill brings us to Naache, a small Gurung village with a few homestays. Although the village does not have restaurants offering western cuisine the local potatoes can be a hearty treat for a hungry trekker.
[Two days’ walk east from Naache can bring you to the glacial lake called Drona on the western base of Mt. Manaslu.]
From Naache the trail starts descending for about 30 min before reaching a very newly established 130 m long suspension bridge across a 200m deep gorge. This bridge is the highlight of the day with views of the villages of Bagarchaap, Dharapani, and Timing far off the western banks of the Marshyangdi below the Annapurna massif can be seen from here.
The trail continues along the pine forest from here. There is a very old small Bon/Buddhist monastery here for those interested in pre-Buddhist faiths of the region. A little further on the trail meets a gravel road until we come to a small suspension bridge across the Dudhkholariver to arrive at the village of Tilche, where one can meet trekkers arriving from the Manaslu trekking circuit.
Ascent: 1235 m Descent: 513 m
