Jugal Himal is the least-known region of the Nepal Himalaya, but this 'beyul' - or paradise of the sage Guru Rinpoche - is truly a jewel of Nepal. With exotic, eerie forest below soaring peaks like Phurbichyachu and Jugal Yangri, the trek is a fabulous wonderland of pristine nature. Tumbling waterfalls, goblinesque ravines, sacred caves, mysterious shrines and gigantic trees line the route. Very few people live in this remote wilderness above the cacophony of life along the Balephi Khola. Beyond Ne Pemasal, the frozen, glaciated mountain terrain belongs only to climbers.

This unique guide explores the trails, the forests and the paradise that Jugal Himal is for adventurous trekkers and climbers. Jugal Himal is the last frontier in the Nepal Himalaya - a land just waiting to be discovered.
