Trek from Jumla to Beni
Hi!
This year I'm planning my 3rd trek in Nepal. This time, with my friend, we would like to do trek from Jumla to Beni. I read a little information in a topic: http://trekkingforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3659 But I can't read german perfectly I have several questions if You can help me, it'll be great and I'll be very grateful 1. Route. It depends on permits, but I would like to take: Jumla-Kaigaon-Kagmara La-Phoksumdo(Rigmo) then 2 possibilities: =Dho Tarap-Tarakot (more interesting) =Sepka-Dunai-Tarakot (less interesting, but if way through Dho is closed for individuals I have no other choice). Then two possibilities from Tarakot: = Mukut-Mu La- "False" Hidden Valley - Thapa(Dhampus) Pass-Marpha-Beni (isn't there a direct path between Mukut and "False" Hidden Valley ? - I mean direct through Mukut Himal range - not to go round through Mu La and Tuche La) = http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/2...nvalley7lx.jpg or finally less interesting route to Beni: =Dhorpatan-Beni Map of region (less interesting route variant) You can find he http://4free.ch/Nepal/karten/DhorpatanJumla.jpg 2. How to get there. I have not found any direct flight from Pokhara/Ktm to Jumla. Have You heard anything about such a connection? If not, how many hours takes a bus ride from Pokhara to Nepalgunj ? 3. Permits. That's the point. I would like to make this trek on my own, like I used to do before. I'm a mountaineer (UIAA member) and guide in Poland. I'm quite good at orientation and I'm physically strenght (30 years old). I made Annapurna Circuit in 7 days - that's my pace, which I prefer. And after all, I don't have enough money for organised tour. Maybe I'll hire some porters/guides on the way. Of course I don't want to brake any local rules. So, please write me: a) which mentioned route must be done with permit (Jumla-Kaigaon, Kaigaon-Phoksumdo, Kaigaon-Dunai, Phoksumdo-Dunai, Phoksumdo-Dho-Tarakot, Tarakot-Mukut-Marpha, Dunai-Dhorpatan-Beni) ? I mean from which exact place I need permit. b) could I get a permit for Lower Dolpo as individual ? I heard that some agencies allow this - I pay them only service fee for a favour of obtaining permit from immigration office. c) could I get tickets (entrance fees) for Phoksmundo National Park and Dhorpatan Area somewhere on the way ? d) could I obtain permits and tickets in Pokhara (because I'll travel overland from Delhi, and it'll be much faster to get into Pokhara, obtain all documents and take a bus to Nepalgunj). e) what about maoist charge on the way ? Is it something like 15USD or rather 80USD ? 4.Provisions. I know that it's almost totally camping trek, but I would like to know places with lodges/tea houses on the way Jumla-Marpha or Jumla-Dhorpathan. I have this list: http://www.welcomenepal.com/dolpa/ex...omodation.html and additional: Dho - Lonje (Tarap?) 2 Lodges Lawan - 1 Lodge Sahartara- 1 Lodge Kolagau(Kolagaon)- 3 Lodges Here are some new places on the map: http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/5...odation2pz.jpg a) Do You heard about some new places to add them on the list ? b) Where is Tarabagar (other name of this place) ? c) Can I buy food/supplies/provisions in lodges/tea houses (I'm looking for simple food like rice, noodle soup, eggs, chappati). d) Do You know any other places on the way where I can buy food ? Best Regards and thank You for help Martin |
