Kagbeni is on the Kali Gandaki and the river here winds through a very wide gravel bed lined with weathered cliffs and raked by gale-force winds after around 11am every day. Jomsom, ahead, has superb views of the Nilgiri peaks to the south, and as you head down now towards Marpha, you leave the dry rain-shadow zone. Marpha is a tidy, spotlessly clean village with white-washed stone buildings and a hilltop Gompa; Tukuche, the main centre of the ancient Tibetan Salt Trade, boasts grand edifices carved wooden balconies. Dhaulagiri and Nilgiri peaks tower over the Kali Gandaki riverbed, which is very wide again here; but slopes lining the bed are clothed in deep forests. Now, as you approach Kalopani, you get your first glimpse at last of Annapurna I, the highest point of the Annapurna Himal and the tenth highest peak on the planet – and first of the eight thousanders to be climbed.
The Dhaulagiri and Tukuche peaks with the icefall in between look very impressive from Kalopani as does Annapurna I, and Nilgiri South. The view of Nilgiri Southstays almost as far down as Tatopani with Annapurna I showing itself once again near Guithe. On the way you pass a magnificent waterfall at Rupse Chhahara.
Tatopani has hot springs by the river, the steep path to Ghorepani from here climbs through a dense forest that, towards the end, is thick with rhododendron trees. Ghorepani has the best view panoramic view of the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna mountains; from the Poon Hill, 450m/ 1475 ft further up, the vista extends from Dhaulagiri, Tukuche and Nilgiri South to Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli and Machhapuchhre. Annapurna South really dominates the panorama and as you descends from Ghorepani to Nayapul, the mountain remains in view as far as Ulleri. From Nayapul, we take an hour drive back to Pokhara.
