Dear friends,
My Name is Nab Raj Roshyara and I am a scientific
co-worker at the University of Leipzig. You can have a look on my official
website:
Besides my official work, I am engaged in social
work for the Nepali community and I work especially for those who are in need
of social help. A short project which we started in Germany together with other
friends can be read in
I also like to trek, especially, in the remote areas
of Nepal where we see the real Nepali traditional life, living style; and we
have a chance to compare the living style with the developed countries like in
Germany.
This time, we (nearly 6-8) are planning for a trekking in Khaptad-Rara Lake area. This trekking will start on 1st April form Dhangadi and will end on 20th April
in Nepalganj, Nepal. If have interest to travel with us, please let us know. I would be very glad to guide you voluntarily.
Übrigens spreche ich auch
gut Deutsch und bin seit 10 Jahren in Deutschland. This much is now in German.
For your information I have posted the following picture which shows our trekking route.
At the moment, I am working together with an organization Tourism Development Society (TDS) Dhangadi Kailali Nepal. This organisation is working together with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) to promote
tourism in the area of fast western Nepal. Till now, there is not much of
tourism activities not because the area is not nice but because of the fact
that this area is very far from the capital of Nepal, Kathmandu and it has not
been a culture of traveling in the far western region. Different travel companies offer this type of
trekking with a very expensive price because but we plan to sleep in the homes
of the villagers and pay them 2-4 Euro for the overnight stay. So you
need to take a sleeping bag with you.
If you take a flight from Germany to Delhi, it would
be the nicest opportunity to make a trekking in this area by entering to Nepal
from the far western border. This is because far western region is very close
to Delhi. If you fly to Kathmandu, then you can take a bus to
Either Nepalganj or Dhangadi.
Please feel free to read the following websites and
program for the trekking. I have just collated them from Google only for you.
Some of the links in this document are from facebook
website. I am not sure if you may need a facebook account to view the photos.
If you couldn’t access, please let me know.

Khaptad National park is very holy and in April, the

lakes nearby but we have to find out if it is possible to go there. The area of
Ramaroshan consists of 12 lakes and 18 breathtakingly lustrous green pastures,
locally known as Patans.To the North there is an unbroken series of sedimentary
rock faces where the local people harvest honey from sheer 100 m high cliffs.
Ramaroshan commands a spectacular view of the Budhiganga basin along with the
majestic peaks of Mt. Api, Saipal, Malika. The photos of this area can be found

Both of the above mentioned links are explaining
trek from Rara Lake to Khaptad because they are mostly assuming that travellers
are coming to Kathmandu first and then they start their tour from Kathmandu.
However for our case, it is just the reverse.
