Different between two routes
I would like to offer two routes for you one is Ghorepanipoonhill trekking and other one is Mustang. The Ghorepani poonhill trekking is one popular route in Annapurna range. poonhill is one view point, it is near the Ghorepani. From the poonhill you can see panoramic view of Dhulageri and Annapurna range. One the other hand about the lower mustang there are less view then the Ghorepani. Mustang is rain shadow zone and there is one popular Hindu temple Muktinath, many pilgrims have been there. Mustang is similar like a Tibet; it has two upper mustang and lower mustang. We need extra permit for upper mustang so it is lit bit expensive then lower.

Manang village smoke-free for decades
Thinking of visiting Phu VDC in Manang? Remember to leave your cigarettes behind.
The VDC has declared itself a smoke-free zone and instituted an undecided fine for smoking and up to Rs 100,000 for shops selling cigarettes.
However, no one has been punished as all, including those visiting the VDC, have obeyed the rule. Visitors are informed of the rule upon entering and so far there have been no violations till now.
According to local resident Tasi Lama, it was around 1971 when a Tibetan lama came to the village and banned smoking to improve health of local residents suffering from tuberculosis and asthma. The informal rule has continued since then.
"One can not be addicted to smoking since birth. Smoking is a habit that will be discouraged only if one does not smoke," said Lama.
"I quit smoking after visiting Phu," said Birkha Singh Tamang, member of the Union of Trekking Travels Rafting and Airlines Workers Nepal.
VDC secretary Kul Bahadur Basnet said smoking was banned mainly due to health reasons. "All local people know how bad smoking is. So they are healthier," he said.
