We'll still be traveling but will no longer be posting about our travels.Happy Accessible Trails to you all!www.musickchannel.com

Water, Water, Everywhere in McCloud, California

  McCloud is famous for its very clean and pure drinking water. The town relies on three springs and pumps the water from it's reservoir to residents' taps with no treatment, only occasionally treating when tests reveal something that needs it. This water comes from Mount Shasta, which looms over everything here.

  • Annapurna Trekking Region is situated in middle north of Nepal. and it is one of the most popular trekking region in Nepal. It attract the highest number of tourist. the Annapurna trekking is defined by the Kali Gandaki River to the west, the Marshyangdi and Dudh Khola valleys to the east, the Pokhara valley to the south and the Himalaya foothills that run along the Nepal-Tibetan border to the north.

    You will explore the ethnic and cultural diversity of the people in this region as you undertake the 3-week, 118 miles Annapurna Circuit trek The wide variety of flora and fauna, the ever changing views of the mountains and of course the trekker- friendly climate all make this a truly memorable experience.

    The Annapurna Trekking Conservation Area was established in 1986 under the auspices of the National Trust for Nature Conservation. The project was built on the principle that conservation is not a separation of people from nature. It is the empowerment of people as nature’s protectors. The program began by educating the local lodge owners in hygiene and sanitation matters, fuel diversity by moving away from using local forest timber and in maintaining local culture. ACAP, a non-governmental organization, has supported and encouraged the development of the local infrastructure and income generating activities in environmentally sensitive ways; solar power, bio-gas cooking and bio-degrading toilet systems. Please visit below trekking routes that are we have been providing.
