This
area was opened to trekking the spring of 1988. Most of the
villages along the route have rarely seen trekkers. We begin
with a flight to Tumlingtar on the banks of thc Arun River.
A day's trek brings us to Chainpur, just in time for the colorful
weekly market held every Friday.
Two days
later we climb onto the Milke Dande, and begin the gradual
ascent across the ridge to JaIjale Himal. This is some of
the most pristine wilderness to be found in the Himalaya.
With its highest point just over 15,000', Jaljale is the lowest
Himalayan in the range. It is a long, spiny mountain,
stretching north-south for over 25 miles, with rugged rock
formations dotted by clear alpine lakes. While the net elevation
change each day is minimal, the terrain, elevation and remoteness
are challenging.
We next travel
to the rarely visited town of Topke Gola (13,000') , on the
banks of the upper Mewa (Papaya) River. It is inhabited by
Tibetan traders and yakherders. As we descend the river, the
world becomes greener, warmer, and gentler. Shops selling
tea and tongba, a fermented millet drink, offer additional
opportunities to visit with the local people. We complete
our trek at Basantapur and drive to Biratnagar for the flight
back to Kathmandu.
