MILLENNIUM Trek Episode One - Bhujikot Dagam, Rajasthal and Sadikhola

#millenniumtrek #tanahu #syangja

Back in 2000, the start of a new millenia, a new trekking trail that went through the culturally rich Gurung and Magar villages of Tanahu and Syangja was initiated, and was given the name, “Millenium Trek”. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing Maoist insurgency and various other reasons, this new trail could never get a jumpstart.

After 20 years, with the declaration of visitnepal2020 (which is postponed because of CoronaVirus), the millenium trek committee, locals and the governing bodies have restarted the trail. Given the landscape of Tanahu and Syangja, this trail offers some of the best views of the highest mountains in the world although the highest point of this trek is not more than 1800m.

We were invited as an initiative to reignite the trail by the Millenium Trek Committee, via Mandala IT solutions. It was deep winter, early December, one of the best times to visit this trail. In episode one of this three episode series, we begin our journey from Kathmandu, spend our first day in Bhujikot, second day in Rajasthal, of Tanahu and enter Sadikhola, Syangja district on the third day.

This is a fairly easy trail suitable for everyone.
