 The
Hidden Fortress Trek - Dugunagadi
Fortress
The Dugunagadi
Fortress is a maze of crumbling walls strategically situated on a
plateau. The views are stunning; during the day one gazes at Tibetan
snow-capped peaks and by night, the lights of Khasa, the first Tibetan
town north of the Friendship Bridge, glisten throughout the dark evening
sky. The
Fortress is situated at an altitude of 2084 m and was built in 1854
by the Nepali Army to attack the Bhot, a region behind the Himalaya,
which is Tibet.
Some
of the highlights of the trek are:
- The Duganagadi
Fortress (2400 m),
our destination, a maze of crumbling walls strategically situated
on a plateau with stunning views of the surrounding areas.
- Chagam
(2200 m). One of the highlights of the trek is an all women's
monastery housing some 300 nuns. Some travel from as far away
as Ladakh in order to spend time, learn and meditate here. The
layout of the village is unusual in that each nun has her own
house, thus creating a colourful spattering of red, yellow, green
and white homes throughout the beautiful countryside.
- Listi
(2180 m),
a charming village overlooking the Bhote Kosi river with stunning
views of the surrounding areas.
