Annapurna Mountain Range

One of Nepal's famed mountain ranges, the Annapurna consists of several peaks of varying heights. Of these, Annapurna I and Annapurna II are the tallest at almost 8000 meters providing a spectacular panoramic view for anyone visiting the Himalayas.

Reviewed By theadventurousfew - Brisbane, Australia

One of the world's most famous treks for good reason. The scenery covers everything from lush forest and rice paddys (in the lower sections) to arid valleys (around Manang and mustang) and of course, the 5400m Thorung La pass! And all along the way your have this amazing backdrop of the Annapurna range and other Himalayan giants. Plan on at least 2 weeks to enjoy the trek - or more if you want to do some of the side trips available. Lodging is easy to find pretty much year-round although it gets very busy in the peak seasons (April & September). Bring warm gear, a strong pair of legs and a sense of adventure :)

Spectacular view of Bandipur town and surrounding mountains. Well worth the steep hike to the top. Good stone steps and rest shelters along the path make this a delight.

Mardi Himal

Reviewed By yelamr

Mardi Himal, located in Machhapuchhre Goupalika 9 of Kaski, is a comfortable mountain world for all. As it is a well-organized trekking route, both internal and external tourists enjoy it. The real fun here is to easily kiss the white snow of the mountains. Mardi Himal Base Camp is located at an altitude of 4500 meters The Mardi Himal Base Camp Route is one of the world famous footpaths within the Annapurna Circuit. The views of the snow-capped Mardi Gras are breathtaking. From this trekking route, Annapurna Range, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre, Manaslu and other mountains can be seen. Also, green forests and local settlements can be observed. This is a trekking route that takes about a week to complete. This trekking route starts from Kande of Kaski. Pitam Deurali is reached from Kande via Australian Camp, Pothana and then from Forest Camp, Forest Camp to Low Camp. On the same day, you can reach High Camp from Batase Danda to Mardi Himal Base Camp You can reach Pokhara by jeep from Siding after returning to Lo Camp. The last hotel of this trekking route is also in the high camp. But I have completed the trek in two days. I started on february 2 and completed it on february 3. I enjoy trekking and my route was like this. I walked from Pokhara to Siding by jeep and 7 hours on foot from Siding. I spent one night in a guest house of High Camp. I have completed trekking.

Phewa Tal (Fewa Lake)

Reviewed By Crowhollow - Morrison, United States

We enjoyed our boat ride and hike up to the World Peace Pagoda so much that we arranged an early morning paddle the next day with the same boat oarsman, Gautam, at the location across from the Glacier Hotel. He is very good at spotting birds and monkeys and took us to the best places to see them. It was very peaceful and scenic to be on the lake in the morning while there were few other boaters and there were lots of birds to see.
