NATT 04- The high route from Ghermu to Jagat. 4. Alternative High route from Ghermu to Jagat high route 7 hours
Start point is Ghermu: There is a way to avoid walking the road up to Jagat by climbing up around 850 m to the villages Tallo Chipla and Mathilo Chipla instead. From there the trail will descend back to the river, which you can cross directly below Jagat. We marked this rewarding high route in Red/White, because we thought that it might soon become the main trail, avoiding completely the road to Jagat. This was perfectly acceptable for the trail to Tallo Chipla but when we continued to climb up to Mathillo Chipla, we realized that this trail was quite a bit more difficult to find and took much longer than we had expected. To summarize: it is an absolutely great route but with a demanding 850 m ascent. You have to count a full day of trekking. So if you are strong and love to trek in the green hills, this route will be a rewarding one. Trekkers will have to decide if they want – the scenic rewards of the high route or the easier 2.5 hour walk on the road with much less climbing.
The trail to Tallo Chipla starts at the end of Ghermu just before the Rainbow Lodge. Turn to the right up the hill until you reach a fountain where you take the main trail to the left. This trail will lead you through fields and forest. After about 1.5 hours you will reach the school of Tallo Chipla (1400m) and soon enter the village.
