MILLENNIUM Trek Episode Three - Bhaisegauda, Chandrakot, Pelkachaur and Ghost Cave

#millenniumtrek #tanahu #syangja
Welcome to Episode Three of Millennium Trek. In this episode, we explore Bhaisegauda. After spending three days, we leave for Pelkachaur. On the way, we visit Chandrakot, a beatufiul gurung village and then climb two highest points of Millennium Trek, Koipher Durbar and Pharthum. We reach Pelkachaur late at night and explore two holy temples, Manakamana and Shiva Mandir both with their own interesting stories. Before leaving Pelkachaur, we explore ghost cave and head out for Budhakot. Kegha is our lunch stop for the day, the locals present Ghatu and Sorathi Naach, two unique cultural dances of the Gurung and Magar Community.

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.

This is a fairly easy trail suitable for everyone.
