Machhapuchhre Model Trek

Trekking along the Himalayan ridges has always been my favorite. I love being in the nature away from the busy streets and concrete buildings along the green paddy fields, white rivers. It was a longtime since I had been in the wild. Thanks to my job at the Tourism Board, after a longtime I had this opportunity to go for a trek again.

This time it was a totally new destination; the place very few of us know about. I guess I am one of the few people who have visited this place. The destination was the Machapuchhare Model Trek. Very few people know about this newly explored trekking route which has very high potential to compete with the already popular routes like the Annapurna circuit and the Everest trekking region. Machapuchhare Model Trek Route is an innovation of TAAN Western Regional Chapter. Its initial exploration and concept was developed in support of the Nepal Tourism Board. This exotic trek is developed into two fold models viz; camping trek as well as village tourism with homestay provisions in 7 different villages enroute like Lachok, Ghachok, Machhapuchhre, Ribhan, Lwang Ghalel, Sardikhola and Dhital thus benefiting 16000 local villagers and several communities
