Trekking in Annapurna area - Day 7: Marpha - Ghasa

This route is part of trekking in Annapurna area

Day 7: Marpha (2640m) - Ghasa (2000m) - 28 km

Longest day today, definitely by miles.

We drive through Tukkuche to Larjung where we cross the river.

I think it is better to cross the river here in Marpha past the Tibetan refugee camp and go to Chhairo Gompa . By the way, this is the Annapurna circuit, so you will see something.

Then follows a very pleasant ride through the woods on the shore. With the lush coniferous forests it looks like the Ardennes , only the mountains are much higher here.

We reach Kokethani (2550m). We have lunch at Dhaulagiri Ice Fall Lodge. From here you can climb Dhaulagiri Icefall in 1 day (difficult).

Higher (2750 m) is Lake Titi . You have a beautiful view of the Nilgiris, Annapurna and Dhaulagiri . It would be a good detour, but then we wouldn't get to Ghasa (25 km, 1300 m elevation gain). Those who work out an alternative with an overnight stay here at Dhaulagiri Ice Fall Lodge could follow a morning leg from here to Ghasa via Lake Titi.

It's still a long but beautiful way to Ghasa.

In Ghasa we play a volleyball game against the army. We lose 0:3... after 24 km of running...

Be sure to consult the information about the sights here once you are on site. They explain what you get to see!
