The Bhairav Kund area northeast of Kathmandu offers the proximity to the
Himalayan Mountains then any other area in Nepal yet this is a remote and
unfrequented region. The abrupt variation in altitude found here is astonishing
from the narrow trails. From Bhairav Kund there are no intervening ranges to
spoil the views of Himalayan range of Jugal Himal in which peaks include Dorje
Lakpa (6966), Madiya (6257M) and Phurbi Ghhyachu (6637m). The mixes of mountain
culture along the views on the route of the trek are superb. The highlight of
the trek is the Bhairav Kund, a holy lake situated at (4200m), the dominating
skyline and the life style of nomadic people unchanged by time. The trekking
group has to be self-contained, as there are no lodges/tea houses. Due to this
incredible latitudinal range and an unusual geographical and climatic mix,
walking this area is a naturalist's dream. |

advantage of trekking up above Bhairav Kund is that can

ice or snow equipment is needed. |
