Tag: Abflug von Frankfurt Flug mit Air India über Delhi nach Nepal, faszinierendes Land im Himalaya zu Füßen der höchsten Berge der Erde. 2. Tag: Ankunft in Kathmandu Landung in Nepals Hauptstadt Kathmandu, 1300 m, und Fahrt zum zentral gelegenen Hotel Annapurna, das zu Beginn und am Ende Ihrer Reise Ihre erstklassige Unterkunft in Nepal sein wird. Begrüßung und Einführung durch die DAV Summit Club-Repräsentantin und Bezug der Zimmer für eine Nacht. Vielleicht unternehmen Sie schon heute einen ersten Spaziergang durch Kathmandu? Angenehm ist, dass man die Altstadt und das nahe Touristenviertel Thamel mit zahlreichen Shops und Restaurants vom Hotel aus zu Fuß erreichen kann. Am Abend lernt sich die Gruppe bei einem typisch nepalesischen Dinner im Hotel näher kennen. [–/–/A] 3. Tag: Fahrt zum Ausgangspunkt des Trekkings Fahrt mit dem Bus zum Startpunkt für das Trekking bei Soti Khola (185 km/8–10 h) am Ufer des Flusses Buri Gandaki. Unterwegs staunen Sie über das tief eingeschnittene Tal des Trisuli River und die zahlreichen Reisterrassen. Dann rücken die Eisdome von Ganesh- und Mansiri Himal näher. Bei der Siedlung Soti Khola, 650 m, die Ausgangspunkt für Ihr Trekking ist, befinden Sie sich in den Subtropen. Gemeinsam mit Ihrem Englisch sprechenden Kultur- und Bergwanderführer beziehen Sie die Zimmer in der ersten Lodge und rollen heute wie an den folgenden Wandertagen auf den einfachen Matratzenbetten Ihren Schlafsack aus. [F/–/A] 4. – 5. Tag: Soti Khola – Macha Khola – Jagat Der Buri Gandaki ist Wegweiser in Richtung Norden und führt Sie zunächst auf abwechslungsreichen Pfaden durch das intensiv landwirtschaftlich genutzte Land der Gurung-Bauern. Die Tagesetappen sind so aufgebaut, dass man sich Schritt für Schritt an die Höhe gewöhnen kann. Träger besorgen den Gepäcktransport – Ihr Kultur- und Bergwanderführer führt zur Sicherheit ein Satellitentelefon mit sich. Steil angelegte Reis- und Hirseterrassen prägen das Landschaftsbild. Wegen fortschreitendem Straßenbau wird auf die andere Seite des Buri Gandaki ausgewichen, was längere Tagesetappen und viel Auf und Ab mit sich bringt. Sie steigen aus den Subtropen mit Bananenstauden, Papayagewächsen und mächtigen Bambuspflanzen auf. Der Buri Gandaki hat sich tief in die Landschaft eingegraben und eine Schlucht mit eindrucksvollen Wänden geschaffen. Spannende Tage, die wie im Flug vergehen. Lodges laden unterwegs zur Rast und bieten einfache Unterkunft. Schließlich erreichen Sie bei Jagat, 1340 m, die Grenze zur Manaslu Conservation Area. Hm ↑1450 ↓1250 Gz 8 h [F/–/A] Hm ↑1150 ↓650 Gz 7 h [F/–/A] 6. Tag: Jagat – Deng Chörten und Mani-Mauern künden von der Welt des Tibetischen Buddhismus. Mit den Reisfeldern bleibt auch der Hinduismus zurück. Zu Füßen des Shringi Himal, 7187 m, wandern Sie zum Weiler Deng, 1865 m, wo der Buri Gandaki auf einer abenteuerlichen Brücke gequert wird. Überhaupt hält der Tag so einiges an Erlebnissen parat: Felder hoch über der steilen Schlucht; Wasserfälle, die sich in den Canyon ergießen; die eisig-grauen Wasser, die vom Rupina-Gletscher durch eine enge Klamm herunterkommen. Gut möglich, das heute auch Erdrutsche zu passieren sind. Kiefern und Bambusgewächse dominieren und die Gipfel des Ganesh Himal halten einem den Rücken frei. Der steile Aufstieg endet bei der Lodge in Bih, 2130 Meter hoch zu Füßen des Gorkha Himal gelegen. Der Siebentausender Himalchuli wird vom Rani Peak, 6693 m, verdeckt. Weiter im Süden ist der dominante Boudha auszumachen. Der Blick in die Buri-Gandaki-Schlucht ist gewaltig. Hm ↑1150 ↓650 Gz 7 [F/–/A] 7. Tag: Deng – Namrung Das Tal verengt sich zum Canyon mit wild tosenden Wassern. Auf schmalem Weg wandern Sie in ständigem Auf und Ab durch malerische kleine Weiler mit Buchweizen- und Gerstenfeldern, die ganz tibetisch geprägt sind. Sie durchschreiten den Torchörten von Ghap. Dann fürt ein letzter Anstieg durch eindrucksvollen Bergurwald mit üppigen Farnen und Flechten zum nächsten Übernachtungsort Namrung, 2630 m, wo sich die schnee- und eisbedeckten Gipfel von Shringi- und Ganesh Himal besonders schön zeigen. Sie freuen sich auf eine heiße Suppe und das Abendessen. Ihr Trekking-Guide zeigt vielleicht heute, wie die Überdruckkammer funktioniert, die während des gesamten Trekkings mitgeführt wird. Hm ↑1450 ↓700 Gz 7 h [F/–/A] 8. Tag: Namrung – Lho Vorbei an Gebetsmühlen und über viele Brücken setzt sich der abenteuerliche Weg fort. Zuvor besichtigen Sie die kleine Gompa von Namrung mit alten Statuen und bemalten Holztafeln, vorausgesetzt, die „Schlüssel-Nonne” ist aufzutreiben. Dann setzt sich die Gruppe in Bewegung. In der Höhe ist es wichtig, dass Sie ausreichend Flüssigkeit zu sich nehmen. Ihr Kultur- und Bergwanderführer wurde von uns geschult und wird Sie auch dahingehend beraten. Kleine Abstecher führen zu Aussichtspunkten, die den Blick auf den Achttausender Manaslu freigeben. Zwischen Lhi und Sho quert der Weg winzige Gerstenäcker. Die große buddhistische Ortschaft Lho, 3210 m, wird überragt von der neuen Ribung-Gompa mit angeschlossener Klosterschule für gut dreihundert Schüler. Die Übernachtung erfolgt in einer Lodge im Ort nahe dem Kloster. Hm ↑850 ↓250 Gz 4 h [F/–/A] 9. Tag: Lho – Sama Die Grenze zu Tibet ist nahe, auch die Dörfer zeigen tibetisches Flair. Sie passieren lange Mani-Mauern, schlüpfen durch enge Torchörten und gelangen zu einem schönen Lunchplatz im Lärchenwald. Der Manaslu beeindruckt mit seiner über viertausend Meter hoch aufsteigenden Nordostflanke. Sie ziehen weiter, bis Sie die weite Almfläche von Sama mit weidenden Yaks, Eseln und Ziegen erreichen, 3580 m. Nach Bezug der Zimmer in einer einfachen, neu erbauten Lodge pilgern Sie am Abend noch hinauf zur Nyingma-Gompa von Sama mit der alten Statue Padmasambhavas, des großen indischen Tantrikers, der einst den Buddhismus nach Tibet gebracht hat. Hm ↑650 ↓300 Gz 4 h [F/–/A] 10. Tag: Exkursion ins Manaslu Basecamp Das historische Manaslu-Basislager, 4100 m, ist Ziel eines spektakulären Tagesausflugs auf den Spuren großer Expeditionen. Der 8156 Meter hohe "Berg der Seele" ist Stätte historischer Tragödien und Triumphe bis in die jüngste Zeit. Vorbei an uralten Birken und mit tollen Tiefblicken auf den smaragdgrünen See Birandra Kund geht es steil hinauf zu den verfallenen Hütten am Basislager. Es war eine japanisch-nepalesische Expedition, der 1956 die Erstbesteigung des schwierigen Achttausenders gelang. Reinhold Messner bestieg den achthöchsten Berg der Erde erstmals ohne Sauerstoff. Ein Berg der Rekorde mit einer der längsten Skiabfahrten und der berühmten High-Speed-Begehung durch den Münchner Extrembergsteiger Benedikt Böhm. Nochmalige Übernachtung in Sama, der besseren Akklimatisation wegen. Hm ↑↓600 Gz 5 h [F/–/A] 11. Tag: Sama – Samdo Samdo wird zum Startplatz für die Besteigung des Fünftausenders Samdo Peak. Gleichzeitig fördern Sie damit Ihre Höhenanpassung für die bevorstehende Überschreitung des Larkya-Passes. Gut möglich, dass Ihnen heute Yak-Karawanen begegnen, die im kleinen Grenzverkehr nach Tibet unterwegs sind. Wacholder und Blutberberitze prägen die karge Vegetation. Ein Torchörten markiert den Zugang zu der hochgelegenen kleinen Siedlung, 3880 m, wo Sie in einer einfachen Lodge für zwei Nächte unterkommen. Zusammen mit Ihrem Kultur- und Bergwanderführer bereiten Sie sich auf die Gipfelbesteigung vor. Hm ↑450 ↓150 Gz 3,5 h [F/–/A] 12. Tag: Gipfeltag Der Samdo Peak, 5100 m, bereitet technisch keine Schwierigkeiten, auch wenn der Aufstieg weglos erfolgt und mit 4,5 Stunden zu veranschlagen ist. Unterwegs sind mit etwas Glück Adler und seltene Blauschafe zu sehen. Am Gipfel erwartet Sie eine grandiose Aussichtsplattform: Der Manaslu, 8156 m, steht in strahlender Schönheit vor Ihnen. Auch der Pang Phuchi, 6335 m, zeigt seine ganze Pracht. Tibet ist zum Greifen nah. Hm ↑↓1300 Gz 7–8 h [F/–/A] 13. Tag: Samdo – Larkya Phedi Auf uraltem Karawanenweg dringen Sie vor in die

  • Nepal Tour (Dhulikhel/Namo Buddha/Balthali) – 03 Days
    NEPAL TOUR (DHULIKHEL/NAMO BUDDHA/BALTHALI) – 03 DAYS Dhulikhel is situated only 30 Km East of Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal on the Araniko Highway in the lap of Greenwood and at an elevation of 1,550 meter above the mean sea level and along the ridge that separates the valley of Banepa and Panchkhal. It looks as if Dhulikhel is busy in conversation with the Himalayan range on the north with a beautiful smile. This might be the reason why many people call this place as the 'Queen of the Hills', and say that this place shares many features with Darjeeling a tourist city in India. From Dhulikhel one can get a panoramic view of the Himalayas from east to west. Your day at Dhulikhel may begin through witnessing the spectacular sunrise over the some of the greatest peaks of the world, including Gauri Shanker, Langtang, and Ganesh Himal. Namo Buddha is situated at the elevation of 1750m above sea level and located 40 kilometers southeast of Kathmandu (approx 1 hr 30 minutes drive from Kathmandu by private vehicle). Namo Buddha is one of the most important Buddhist pilgrimage sites south of the Himalayas, as well as being one of the holiest Buddhist sites in the world. Known by Tibetans as Takmo Lu Jin, meaning “Tigress Body Generosity”, the Namo Buddha stupa marks the site where a young prince (in some versions, the Buddha himself) encountered a tigress close to starvation and unable to feed her own cubs. Overcome with compassion, the prince allowed the tigress to consume him and thereby feed her cubs.

Avalanche character and fatalities in the high mountains of Asia D.M. McCLUNG Department of Geography, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Correspondence: D.M. McClung <[email protected]> ABSTRACT. With the exception of northern India, there are few, if any, consistent data records relating to avalanche activity in the high mountains of Asia. However, records do exist of avalanche fatalities in the region, contained in mountaineering expedition reports. In this paper, I review and analyze statistics of avalanche fatalities (both snow and ice) in the high mountains of Asia (Himalaya, Karakoram, Pamir, Hindu Kush, Tien Shan, Dazu Shan) from 1895 to 2014. The data are stratified according to accident cause, geographical region (Nepal–Tibet (Xizang), Pakistan, India, China, Central Asia), mountain range, personnel (hired or expedition members) and terrain. The character of the accidents is compared with data from North America and Europe. The data show that the important risk components are the temporal and spatial exposure probabilities. It is shown that human actions and decisions govern the pattern of fatal avalanches in the high mountains of Asia. KEYWORDS: avalanches, glacier hazards, snow INTRODUCTION such, are not the only records of avalanche fatalities in the The high mountains of Asia include all the world’s mountains countries containing the high mountains of Asia.

Paudel1 1Central Department of Geology, Tribhuvan University, Kritipur, Kathmandu, Nepal 2Khani Khola (Dolakha) Hydropower Project, Dolakha, Janakpur, Nepal *Corresponding author’s email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Geological mapping was carried out in the Barpak-Bhachchek area of the Daraudi River valley, Gorkha district, West- Central Nepal for structural analyses. The area comprises rocks of the Higher Himalayan Crystalline and the Lesser Himalayan Sequence. Pelitic and psammitic schist, quartzite, calc-quartzite, dolomitic marble, graphitic schist, gneiss are the main rock types within the Lesser Himalayan Sequence. In contrast, banded gneiss and quartzite form a significant portion of the Higher Himalayan Crystalline. The area is affected by poly-phase deformation. The Lesser Himalayan Sequence has suffered five deformational phases (DL1-DL2, D3-D5),whereas the Higher Himalayan Crystalline has suffered four deformational events (DH1, D3-D5). Among these deformational phases, early deformational phases (DL1-DL2) of the Lesser Himalayan Sequence and (DH1) of the Higher Himalayan Crystalline are pre-Himalayan, whereas later three (D3, D4, D5) of both the Higher Himalayan Crystalline and the Lesser Himalayan Sequence are Himalayan. The Lesser Himalayan Sequence lying to the northern limb of the Gorkha-Kuncha anticlinorium is contorted into doubly plunging to dome-and-basin like en echelon type of non-cylindrical folds as Baluwa Dome and Pokhartar Basin (DL2 and D4). The direction of shearing as indicated by shear sense indicators (C' Shear band and Mica fish) is top-to-south coinciding with the regional sense of shear due to the MCT propagation.

One of world's remotest Himalayan Valleys which was also a restricted region until recently. The trek to Tsum Valley takes you into the majestic surroundings of the Ganesh Himal, Shringi Himal, and Boudha Himal ranges. The region once being part of Tibet looks completely different from what you will find elsewhere. The people of Tsum Valley or the Tsumbas belong to Tibetan origin with their own ancient form of dialect, art, culture and religion. Very few adventure travelers have made it to this high and mysterious valley, which used to be an important trade link with Tibet. In the initial days, we trek the route of Around Manaslu Trek or the Manaslu Circuit Trek. The Tsum Valley lies on the northern part of Manaslu and used to be a restricted area until 2008. The region is still less exposed in comparison to other touristy areas, with relatively virgin and less beaten paths in comparison to the more popular regions. The Tsum people have their own way of family life, which may be quite surprising for many outsiders. All the brothers in the family are married to a single girl, what you may call a practice of polyandry. Starting and ending point of the Trek is Arughat, a seven hours drive from Kathmandu.
