Kali Gandaki Valley

Kali Gandaki Valley, Nepal, Jacek Piwowarczyk 1995
Kali Gandaki Valley is completely different from Marsyangdi on the other side of Thorong La. It is dry, wide, flat and very windy starting from 10-11 am. The flights from Pokhara to Jomosom can therefore operate only in early morning hours. Trekkers can only go as far as Kagbeni. Beyond the check post only people equipped with pricey permit can continue towards the misterious Kingdom of Mustang...

On the way down along Kali Gandaki Valley, we passed several beautifully located villages and the most interesting one was   Marpha,  famous for its well maintained and clean, white stone houses and cobbled streets. The very controversial but prosperous and hospitable Takali people inhabit this region  The village has also one of the nicest lodges in the country and the best cusine of the trek. Another clean and similar to marpha village - Tukche is famous for Mustang Distillery producing excellent apple brandy.
