where the old royal palace known as Gorkha Durbar towers

west to cross the Annapurna circuit route before traversing
an area south of Lamjung Himal at low altitude with
plenty of rural life such as typical Nepalese villages
not used to seeing foreigners. Reaching Madi Pool north
of Pokhara, our route heads towards the fishtail peak
of Machapuchare upstream the Seti Khola till Ghalegaon,
an important Gurung village. Then the trail climbs up
to Siklis through a rhododendron forest. The largest
Gurung village is situated at the foot of Lamjung Himal

riverside. Our last camp at Thulo Kot offers a panorama
of twenty peaks before descending to the Begnas lake.
