LEDAR - a.k.a Chuli Ledar

  • 4,240 meters

The small settlement of Ledar comes immediately after crossing a long suspension bridge. It is not a single cluster of lodges but is rather divided into 3 clusters, all within very short distances. There are a few lodges here with a good view of Mount Gangapurna.

The surrounding area is quite famous for a medicinal plant named Pangar (scientific name: Aconitum naviculare) which is found on higher hill slopes. Even the locals have a hard time identifying and collecting the correct ones so don't bother unless you are an expert. Some locals here sell these plants after they are dried.
