Hike Chamje - Tal

Right from the beginning of the trek you pass to the other side of the Marsyangdi river along super long suspension bridge.

Everybody admires tough local porters carrying extremely heavy loads only in simple backpacks on their backs. There is no problem to meet here even porters carrying „coops“ full of hens on the back :-)

After an hour's walk in traversing the slope you finally come to an interesting outlook of a sharp rock tooth towering above the side valley, under whose top the workers just shoot a new road – but so far the road looks quite impassable.

Rock tooth towering above the confluence of the rivers is probably the most beautiful place in this stage. Marsyangdi river declines here on a small area by as much as 200 meters from the Talu. Thanks to that the path behind the confluence rises a great deal and tourist cannot wait to be at a nice flat upland plain at Tal. The entire opposite slope is unfortunately very ruined by the road works. Work in the diggers and bulldozers must be damn dangerous here. These huge machines seem to be really small here in comparison with the mountain slopes.

The side valley with a small waterfall looks picturesque, but very impassable.

After almost an hour of sharper ascent you will be flabbergasted by breathtaking sprawling remains of a nice lake. The village of Tal (1670 m asl) is already visible in the distance.

After two hours of travel is the first buddhist gateway to the village ahead of us. We are in Tal – yet it is relatively meager, but you can recognize that you have entered into different region.

There is really picturesque landscape around the wide riverbed with pebbles islands in Tal (see the introductory photo of the photoreport). The path is crisscrossed by caravans of horses pulling tons and tons of burdens. On one side there is the old shot trekking path, on the other one road for cars is built.
