Trek to Farwest Nepal
 Farwest
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. Farwest Nepal is
rarely visited by westerners. Farwest 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. 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.
