Manang – Nar Phu (Phoo) Valley & Kangla Pass | Nepal
Manang, the land beyond mountains. It is one of the favourite trekking destinations in Nepal for both domestic and international travellers. It is also renowned as the land beyond mountains after its neighbouring district Mustang, Nepal. The majestic wide verdant fields, valley, waterfalls, beautiful crests, people, culture and etiquette is more than enough to dazzle anyone trekking in Nepal. Whenever one ponders about Manang, waterfalls, apple farms, outspread colourful fields with a parched hill that took over centuries to form comes to one mind. It is definitely a hidden gem behind the mountains. The trek starts from Besisahar (760 mt), Lamjung which is a subtropical zone (below 1,200 mt) then…

DOLPO SHEY PHOKSUNDO – Lake beneath Kanjiralwa |Trekking in Nepal
Dolpo Shey Phoksundo or in the more typical term ‘Phoksumdo’ is a majestic lake beneath Kanjiralwa Himalayan. The whole region of Dolpa is filled with magical landscapes and scattered pieces of beautiful lands, people and elements (Mountains, Lakes, Hills) are enough to astonish any visitor who embarks on a journey to this mystical land. This specific region lies in the Western part of Nepal. Dolpa and Phoksumdo (yep, not a spelling mistake) were always on our bucket list. We finally did the Dolpo Trek in the year 2018. The 12-day trip consisted of crazy road trips at the beginning, trekking through vastly different landscapes and flight back home which offered…

All your most pressing trekking questions answered!
We have attempted to answer all your most pressing trekking questions in this blog post as we get tons of queries everyday from Ghumante of all level. We have also included some other questions which you didn’t ask but we felt should be answered. What should I wear? What kind of clothes I need for trekking?

You should avoid jeans, cotton and other heavy materials which are heavy to carry, and in case they get wet by sweat or rain they are slower to dry. Thamel is a good place to buy trekking clothes but if you can,…

Manaslu Circuit Trek, Video (Itinerary)
This April, we trekked to the tough trail of the Manaslu Circuit, crossing one of the longest and the toughest Passes of Nepal, Larkye La. The journey was tough but totally worth it. Tsujan walked despite fevers while one of our travel companion had to return halfway through the trek due to injuries. But the journey continued, and we’re glad we did. We made some wonderful friends on the way, witnessed the culture and were lucky to see avalanche in the Frozen Lake. The people are amazing and the area is comparatively less crowded. Wildlife is abundant, and the locals very friendly. Highly recommended trek to anybody who’s looking for…
