Completely unspoiled, it includes some of the most varied and rewarding trekking in the kingdom, through an area between the Buri Gandaki and Dorandi Khola. Starting from the old capital of Gorkha, an old famous town to the north of Kathmandu brings through nice and cultural villages with nature to the Nepal's most historical palace "Gorkha Durbar" -the name of Nepal's origination. This is not very hard trek but very non-touristy, cultural and peaceful. The lodges are not available along the route. Thus, the tour must be arranged a fully organized camping one. The Himalayan Views of giant Ganesh Himal, Sringi Himal, Buddha Himal, Himalchuli, Manaslu Himal, Lamjung Himal and Annapurna ranges along with many more are mesmerizing.
