Text Box: Far West Nepal Trek Far west Nepal is a mix of magical landscape, culture, and spiritual heritage. It is land un­touched by modernity and greatly endowed with natural beauty and wilderness. Far west Nepal is rarely visited by westerners. Far west Nepal is mainly dominated by ancient Hindu culture. On the trekking route several “MANDU” (temples) can be seen of high re­ligious importance. One can see the “DHAMI” (shaman) with turban, limbs cov­ered with silver bangles, gold rings in the ear. On religious occasions he makes prophecies and heals the people. Text Box: Trekking in Farwest Nepal is very easy. Trails are wide, hill slopes are gentle, no major elevations, does not require any prior hiking experience, suitable for all age group. Superb views of western Himalayas can be seen all the time during the trek. Trekking in Farwest Nepal is the best alternate for heavily crowded Annapurna and Everest region in central and eastern Nepal. Text Box: Detailed itinerary: Day 01 to 03: Arrive Kathmandu (1311m).
