From Begnas Tal to Besisahar

Nepal, trekking around the Annapurnas, Begnas Tal, Shyauli Basar, Besisahar

Most trekkers start from Dumre and take directly a bus right to Besisahar. If you have some spare days left or want to start in Pokhara, you can also start in Begnas Tal, and trek in 3,5 days to Besisahar/Khudi

 

Begnas Tal

Begnas Tal is just 15 km to the east from Pokhara. You can either take a bus or a taxi. Begnas Tal is situated near a little lake and you have to climb the hill up to Pansh Baiya, where you will find some lodges with a great view on the Annapurna range.Not many trekkers go this trail till now, so the standard of the lodges can be lower than on the main trek, but you will see more of the real nepali life. I would advise, that you dont go alone, as one has to walk somtimes for hours in the forest..

The trail goes trough forest and rice paddys to Karputar (some lodges) and to Syauli basar.

In Syauli basar you can visit the himalay rescue dog squad, the only rescue dogs for whole nepal. The project includes now also a shool, a little hospital an a system of health insurance, unique in Nepal. They also do trials with different vegetable crops and fish farming. Since 2000 they have build a lodge, an excellent place to stay, so that you have the time to visit the project area.

Crossing a river

 

After Syauli basar you will have to climb a step and never ending ridge. Dont complain about the heath, later on the trek it will be cold enaught. But you will be rewarded by beautiful views and nice villages. The lodges in Baglungpani were not the best ones in 1998, maybe they are better now, but from there you have a great view on the Manaslu range.
