Sammen med vores gode samarbejdspartner ude i Vest-Nepal, tæt ved Pokhara, byder vi på 11 dage med trekking, hvor vi oplever varmen og gæstfriheden i Gurung-stammen og fordyber os i Hatha og Kundalini Yoga i de smukke fredelige omgivelser. Rejsen er for en lille international gruppe, og deltagerne kommer fra hele verden og mødes i Kathmandu.
Begnas lake er også et virkeligt godt ayurveda sted, og vil du gerne kombinere retreatet men et længere ophold og ayurvediske behanlinger, så er det en oplagt. Vi skræddersyr gerne din rejse, så du får det hele med – fly, ayurveda, yoga og retreat. For mere om ayurveda ophold se HER.

You will be picked up early in the morning from a location of your choice within Kathmandu. Once we exit Kathmandu valley, we drive west along the Prithvi highway till Dumre and then head north to Besisahar. The drive is scenic and follows first the Trisuli and later the Marsyangdi river.

After breakfast our trek begins. We head out into the hills to the North-west of Besisahar. It is a beautiful walk through the fertile fields, villages, forest and many waterfalls along the way. After a short climb up, we reach Ghalegaun village, a beautiful Gurung village which is very well known for it’s warm and welcoming people.

This is a rest day as well as a chance to explore Ghalegaun village. Wake up early in the morning for beautiful sunrise with mountains and breakfast with the homelike environment of your Gurung family. We will explore the village; experience their traditional lifestyle, culture and religious practices. In the evening, we might have the chance to see a cultural show. The Gurung people are very social; local music, singing and dancing with the rest of the village in the evenings is an important part of their lives.

After a leisurely breakfast, our trek leads to the village of Ghanpokhara. This village is smaller and the people lead a much more traditional lifestyle. This area is famous for honey-hunters who harvest honey from the forest and foragers who know every inch of their forests. After a short break, we continue to the village of Bhujung.
Lying within the Annapurna Sanctuary National Park, Bhujung contains the largest Gurung population in the area, with over 400 households that pride themselves on their rich cultural heritage. They generate their own electricity supply, and are considered pioneers in conservation and development in the area.

This is going to be our longest day of walking and after an early Yoga session and breakfast, we leave for Pasagaun. This trail sees very few tourists and is unspoilt, this is a very good place for us to spot wildlife. In the early afternoon, we will reach a pristine village of over 200 houses called Pasagaun. Untouched by modernity, this village has retained its traditional feel, evident in its architecture, culture and food. Besides the village, there are local caves to visit and we might even see locals extracting slate for roofs from the local quarry.

From Pasagaun we head south towards Pokhara valley. As the day progresses, we will drop to lower altitudes and we will notice a gradual change in the flora, fauna as well as the local people. The villages in these areas are a lot more mixed with many different ethnic groups living together in harmony. It is also a lot more tropical and busier. Once closer to the main road we will be picked up by a vehicle and drive to Begnas Lake Resort to relax after our days in the mountains.
