The red marker on the map pinpoints the epicenter of Saturdays 7.9 earthquake in Nepal, exactly where we ended our three week trek around Manaslu in Besisahar.
We have had some preliminary contact with our friends there, but not all, so far just Chandra has checked in.
Here are some images from 2012 that visually describe the walk between the two towns. We are keeping these people in our thoughts as they go through this difficult time.
The location is along the Bahundanda to Besisahar Road on the Marysgandi River, 70 Kms. northwest of Kathmandu.
