Hike Kalopani - Tatopani

As soon as you leave Kalopani, you walk in the next village of Lete along agricultural upland plain. The plain ends with the promontory above the confluence of Kali Gandaki and Lete Khola. From the outlook point you will see how is the valley sharply falling.
 

The road makes a detour to Lete Khola valley and leads in the scree slope high above the river. Tourist trail leads in a shortcut along the suspension bridge.
 

Some Nepalese suspension bridges are really impressive.
 

The Nepalese landscape at an altitude of around 2,300 meters above sea level is full of conifers. Brownish hills fall from the massif of Nilgri. Also here you can see a lot of landslides.

After a moment, looking back, you will see the headland, by which is topped the upland agricultural plain. On the horizon shine the peaks of Dhaulagiri and Tukuche.
 

After six kilometer walk from Kalopani you will get to the next village Ghasa (2 110 m asl).
 

Before the road was built here, the way through the canyon of Kali Gandaki must have been really romantic.
 

The most interesting part of this stage is in the place where Kali Gandaki disappears into a narrow gorge and flows with the roar through the massif. The road above it is slightly dangerous. You as tourists will probably enjoy this place far more than in a car.

Looking into the gorge you realize the incredible power of nature and you will not want to believe that it is the same river that used to have more than a half kilometer wide trough a few kilometers higher.
 

Just a few meters behind the giant rift opens a great view of the valley far below you.

Everywhere in Nepal is every convenient place turned into the field. On the horizon is already visible another attraction of this trip – large waterfall.
 

Villages Kabra and Chhahara are famous for their small watermills.
 

Another point of interest at this stage is waterfall Chhahara. The road leads almost immediately below it, so a bath is nearly included.
 

Shortly before the destination of this stage in Tatopani peek out at all its beauty Annapurna South and the top of Annapurna I.
 

The most beautiful mountain view, however, is at the very end – of Nilgri towering as if behind the nine ridges.
 

Sunset over Nilgri is also worth seeing.

Finally, you're at the finish of this stage in Tatopani (1 250 m asl). For someone it is also the destination of the whole trek, others plan to set out again up to Ghorepani and Poon Hill or even further to Annapurna BC. There are quite crowds of tourists. You feel here like in small Pokhara, which will not for sure be appreciated by romantic souls.
