Access: From Kathmandu on the Prithvi Hwy westwards towards Pokhara. After 130 km in 4 hours - if it walks well - we come to Dumre. You can also get here from Pokhara after 67 km in a good 2 hours. In Dumre we turn northwards into the valley of the river Marsyangdi and reach Besisahar after 42 km and 1.5 hours. Here the paved road ends (2011). Now on dirt road 24 km or 75 min. further to the village of Syange. This is also the approach if you approach the Annapurna Trek from the east, i.e. counterclockwise. Here or in the vicinity (e.g. in Germu on the other side of the river) we take up quarters for the ascent of the surrounding canyons.

Romli: Canyon Start
2025-01-31: As usual in the Himalayas, everything is very big and high. The intermediate belay at 160m is very cool, a few racy 60m-80m rappels that you can do in the water, but otherwise unfortunately hardly any...
2025-01-31: Normal flow A3, original bolts/anchors was OK
Comment: First abseil
Approach: From Karuwa (1350m) approach by the jungle sherpas path through an abandoned shelter hut 1800m elev. to the glacial secret lake of Pipar Karka (old sherpas hut 3295m) 1st bivouac here, from there descend down to the creek and in the first tributary (a lot of jungle chaos), continue down to the first slope abseil in 2943m.

It starts inconspicuously with short abseils and free descents at 2943m, R5, R8, R6, R3 and R25, a strong tributary from the left and starting serious abseil, full of wonderful abseils and very nice flow. This will bring us over four larger verticals C55, C35, C20, C15 to the main C160 Hungry Birds, (R25 + easy climbing - in the short verticals below c160m there are suitable place for 2nd bivouac, 2135m - wood for the fire), then a series of beautiful waterfalls C12, C6, C75, C10, C12, C15, R15, C65, S8, C10, C35 to the final section of great cascade C90 + C70. Drilling set + bolts necessary, important!!!
