Barter system was one of the many highlights for the people of this region. People exchanging barley for rice, wheat for butter and so on. People from Jomsom and higher regions brought salt and wool in exchange for barley, wheat and other basic items. Hence terms like Ghorapani (horse water) where we stop for the night during this trek. Our trek follows the ancient trails these traders used and are still using. We may encounter many caravans on the way still doing the age-old business with their goods on mules and ponies. One may hear the bells of the mules in the distant horizon. Starting from Nayapul, we head through different trials and jungles to dry rugged landscape of Mustang before taking a flight back to Pokhara. We pass along some of the most beautiful villages in this region with spectacular views of the Annapurans, machanpucahres and Nilgiri. A sight that lingers in your heart long after you have reached home..
