Return to Traverse of Nepal main page

On March 27, 2011, we drove from Kathmandu to Arughat. We started the 2^nd part of the Nepal traverse on the 28^th. Our first goal was to cross Ganesh Himal to reach Shyabru Besi and Langtang. We first followed the Budhi Gandaki river up to the village of Macha Khola. There we crossed the river and climbed to the village of Keronja through an amazing scenery of dry terraces.
