I have exhausted the well beaten tourist infected path long ago. In my last trip, I wanted to go to Dolpa (to see white leopard, if possible in Foksundo park), from there to Mugu(Rara lake), down to Jumla, Jajarkot and then to Surkhet. I actually talked to trekking group in Kathmandu which helped me when I went to Solukhumbu, and they were positive about setting up this trip.[I had to come urgently back so it didn't materialise]

By the way, when you go to these villages, and districts, that is when you realise that our country is still united, and all these talks of sanghiyata/division is bullshit. People want freedom from political invention-- they want 'gari khana deu'. This is where we see beautiful people, and we love our country for what it is.

Goodluck man. Hope you will find a nice route. In Kathmandu, you can talk to any trekking operator and I am sure they will be most helpful. [Of course, take local porters when possible]
