Gorilla Trek

The Guerrilla Trek is one of a very few trekking trails of far western region of Nepal. It is a newly opened trekking which has recently been launched. The name "Gorilla Trek" is directly related Maoist guerrillas of Nepal. Trekking along the Guerrila Trek gives hikers the chance to see routes and hideouts and shelter used by the guerrillas during the conflict (1996-2006). In spite of what the name might suggest, the area is very peaceful nowadays. The Guerrilla Trek passes through lush valleys in the shadow of the mighty Himalaya, including the impressive Dhaulagiri (8167 m). It passes dramatic waterfalls, lakes and the country's only hunting reserve in Dhorpatan. The views from Jalja La, a pass at 3386 m, are stunning and definitely compete with crowded Poon Hill. One can also see a whole range of mountains; especially the Dhaulagiri (8167 m) and Gurja Himal (7193 m) are very close.
