The “Dhaulagiri Lovers Club” group moved to the village of Marfa to the beginning of the trekking route

April 18. Dhaulagiri. Namaste from Nepal to everyone from the Dhaulagiri Lovers Club group!

Early this morning we left the hospitable hot Pokhara and headed towards Dhaulagiri - to the village of Marfa at an altitude of 2700 m. By bus. The road was difficult (in some places there was almost no road).

After 6 hours of shaking, we reached the apple capital of Nepal, as Marfa is called. This village is really buried in apple orchards. It is located 7 km from Jomson on the route of the Annapurna trek.

Having checked into the lodge, we went for a walk around the center of the village. An amazing place - very similar to Leh or Tibet. We visited a Buddhist monastery, went into authentic souvenir shops, visited very atmospheric cafes. We tasted the main local drink made from apples - Calvados.

In the evening, we had dinner at our lodge. Tomorrow we are going on a radical ascent for acclimatization.
