Nepal 1: Pokhara

We flew to Nepal with the aim of running the Thule Bheri and Humla Karnali in one season. But as we arrived in Nepal in October we had plenty of time to go to Pokhara and do some of the classic runs in the area. Runs we were lucky enough to do included the Madi Kola, Modi Kola, Upper Upper Kali Gandaki, Marsyandi and the Seti Kola.

This was the walk into the Madi, we climbed 1000m up to a town to stay the night, then hiked back down to the river in the morning. (Photo: Dan)
