Introduction
The Bhairavkunda area, northeast of Kathmandu offers the proximity to the Himalayan Mountains than 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 Bhairavkunda, there are no intervening ranges to spoil the views of Jugal Himal in which peaks include Dorje Lakpa (6,966m), Madiya (6,257m) and Phurbi Ghhyachu (6,637m). The mixes of mountain culture along the views on the route of the trek are superb. The highlight of the trek is the Bhairavkund, a holy lake situated at 4200m, the dominating skyline and the lifestyle of nomadic people unchanged by time. The trekking group has to be self Descent 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 naturalists dream.
