THE OTHER ABC & KHOPRA DANDA TREK, NEPAL, NOVEMBER 2021 ~ AN OFFBEAT EXPERIENCE ~ SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED, Following the footsteps of Maurice Herzog to Annapurna, 71 yrs after the first ascent of an 8000 m peak, in November 2021 ~ Pokhara, in Nepal, is the launching pad for numerous expeditions to the Anapurnas, and the starting point for treks. But 71 years ago, when Nepal was still under Rana rule and a French expedition came to climb Annapurna, its climbers did not come directly here a... See more t Pokhara. They marched straight up from Butwal in Tarai. In December 2020, a 25-member team from the Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) and Trekking Agents Association of Nepal (TAAN) Pokhara Chapter and Annapurna Rural Municipality set out to explore North Annapurna Base Camp. The idea was to use the pandemic lull to find new trekking destinations and to develop this historic route. The trail we took would follow the footsteps of the French Annapurna Expedition of 1950, and re-enact their march – into the mountain. It is known as the Maurice Herzog Trail, after the climber, Louis Lachenal made the first ascent of an 8000 m peak – two years before Mt. Everest itself was climbed. Our own journey began from Pokhara, with a 5-hour bus ride to Tatopani, and then to Lower Narchyang, Upper Narchyang, to Chhotepa our destination for the day. And like trekking in most of Nepal, it is one steep climb and followed by another steep descent. Then comes Hum Khola, Phutphutey waterfalls, Sandhikharka, Phoolbari, Busket Mela, and finally North Annapurna Base Camp at approx 4400 m. It’s a camping trek. Herzog recounts in Annapurna the heroic life-and-death struggle with primitive equipment and violent weather to get to the summit at 2 pm on 3rd June 1950. His team entered by this forgotten side, though he returned by Lete side, we preferred to return by the same route as we wanted to trek for another offbeat and less accessed new route from Tatopani ~ to Khopra Danda (3900 m approx). Via Swanta village (one of the best picturesque villages with a Dhaulagiri massif view), we trekked up to Chistibung, then to Khopra Danda (the best and nearest panoramic and amphitheatric view of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna Massifs so closely placed), with tea houses in all the spots. And return through Bailey Kharka (another best spot for the Dhaulagiri view), Dobato (with Mulde Peak viewpoint of the two massifs), Tadapani, and Ghandrung to back Pokhara. That’s the circuit we wanted to make. The whole trek was an awesome one with excellent views of lofty high various peaks and beautiful landscapes. I would like to thank my co-trekkers Soumendu Chatterjee, Subhasis Sathpaty, Madhusudan Das, Sourav Dutta, Arijit Dutta, Meenakshi Sarkar, Subhajit Chaudhuri, Projesh Biswas, and Sharmistha Ghosh for completing such an exclusive picturesque trek route of Nepal. And finally, I would like to Thank Himalayan Adventure Intl Treks and Binod Karki and Sumit Mukherjee for all their support, guidance, and assistance in Nepal. See less...
