The primary route on footThe primary route on foot

Are you thereNepalMany hiking trails, the most famous is big, small loop of Annapurna region. The link for a longer period of time, small line is shorter, suitable for general visitors do walking tours. Even in the loop line, hikers can each takes what he needs. According to their own time and physical fitness, selection and adjustment on the line.

Autumn holiday period, two of us choose the loop line is not difficult but very classic line: anable small loop (locally called "Boone Hill Road") plus the Annapurna base camp (ABC) route, time of 9 days (including 3 days return).

From the starting point of Pokhara on foot about 900 meters above sea level to the Annapurna peak, but more than 40 km distance in a straight line, but the difference of elevation of 7000 meters, therefore, on this line can enjoy the forest, grassland, glaciers, snow-capped mountains scenery terrace, etc.. Here on foot, a roaming feeling: walk every 1-2 hours, are available for the accommodation of the village, the road will therefore, hikers without carrying tents, cooking utensils, food and other items, only lighter can complete the walk, and the most comfortable, every day or on foot after the pain quickly wash a hot bath.

From the starting point of South Cliff shop to Shaul, through the layers of terraced fields, enjoy the pastoral scenery, climb on the "three thousand ladder", has risen nearly km altitude.

����The first day: Pokhara (Pokhara) �� South Cliff shop (Naya Pul) �� Shaul. (Ulleri)

The real starting point on foot is a village called South Cliff shop, about 1.5 hours drive from pokhara. As a starting point, South Cliff shop is very lively, the narrow road on both sides of the small shops, selling goods goods are available in all varieties.

From the South Cliff paved walk for half an hour, went to a hill of checkpoint. The checkpoint at a fork in the road: the left is in a clockwise direction small link; right and vice versa. In order to arrive as early as Boone mountain to watch the sunrise, we like most of us, choose a clockwise direction on foot.

Annual 5-9 month, Annapurna region is the rainy season. When we go after the rains, there are many collapse or landslide, fortunately road was open. Rainfall has brought plenty of water to along the streams, gurgling streams of sound can be heard without end. We along the gravel road up, start is very wide, very slowly, with yellow, green and white terraces layer upon layer, one pastoral scenery. But after lunch, the roads are becoming more and more narrow, more and more steep, the road also often carry goods caravan passes, often traffic jams "formed in the narrow mountain road". On the way, a mountain horse cannot receive the horseshoe, all the way down, I avoid late, was hard hit.

Climbing for nearly an hour, still can not see the end. In a rest, I'm from several Chinese foot mouth know: This is the famous "three thousand steps", and we have no knowledge completed half of the journey!

Do not go far, the mountain to see the roadside, with a "welcome to Shaul" brand, perhaps climb really hard, we excitedly cried. Ulri built close to the mountains, is the largest local Magars (Magar) village. From the starting point of South Cliff shop to Shaul, elevation of nearly 1000 meters, back overlooking the climb steps, found here is cloudy.

Boone mountain 3210 meters above sea level, is the highest point of the loop line and the famous sightseeing platform. Standing at the top of the hill, can see the Dhaulagiri, Annapurna peak more than 10 seat in an unbroken line of snow-capped mountains.
