There
is a long difficult trek around
Dhaulagiri (8167m) that start
from Beni on the Kali Gandaki
and follows the Marsyangdi Khola
westwards to Darbang before
turning north along a tiny trail
that leads though forest into
high country. Much of the route
is over snow and glaciers, crossing
the French Col at 5240m, going
through the Hidden Valley and
crossing the 5155m Dhampus Pass.
The trek passes Batase Danda
(windy hill), where it is usually
as windy as the name suggests,
then descends steeply to Marpha
in the Kali Gandaki valley.
From Jomsom the trek continues
to the village of Thini, from
where a goat trail scrambles
over the Mesokanto Pass at 5330m.
The trail is now difficult and
may even be hard to locate as
this is rarely visited country,
but eventually we arrive at
Tilicho Lake, a great ice lake,
and Tilicho Tal, at 5000m, at
the foot of Tilicho Peak (7132m).
From the lake trail goes to
down to Khangsar via Manang
and on to Besishar.
