Summery : This
trek has only recently been opened
to the trekkers though expeditions
have had access for several years.
In many places the walls of the
Buri Gandaki valley are perpendicular
and there is a lot of wasted climbing
to avoid the sheer cliffs. Definitely
not recommended for those suffering
from vertigo. The trek is remote.
On the other hand, it is spectacular
and culturally fascinating: the
Gurungs of the Buri Gandaki being
the most wild of their ilk. Farther
up, there are Tibetans, descendants
of migrants. Mountain views here
are sensational and the crossing
of the Larkya La is one of the most
dramatic in the Himalayas.
