Located in Mugu district in the mountains of west-central Nepal, Dhanna is a hidden gem on the Annapurna trekking route. Surrounded by lush forests and rolling snow-capped mountains, this traditional village at an altitude of about 1,120 meters retains its original Thakuri culture. Its stone-built houses and terraced rice paddies stand out against the landscape, and the villagers still make a living from farming and handicrafts, living at a leisurely pace. As the gateway to the 'world's deepest gorge' on the banks of the Kali Gandaki River, Dhanna is both a starting point for trekking enthusiasts and an ideal place to experience Nepalese village life. With early morning views of the snow-capped peaks of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna, and dusk walks through quaint villages, Dhanna offers a tranquil and isolated charm that makes it one of Nepal's most untouched natural and cultural treasures.
Latham is a coastal town in the Essequibo Islands-West Demerara region of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, located on the east bank of the Demerara River, about 40 kilometers from the capital city of Georgetown. An important agricultural and residential area, the town was named after Charles Latham, a 19th-century British colonial official.
Located in a tropical rainforest climate zone, Latham is surrounded by rice cultivation, coconut palms and fruit farms, which are an important part of Guyana's agricultural economy. The town is built along the river and has a small port facility, with easy access to water transportation connecting Georgetown to inland communities.
The population is predominantly Afro-Guyanese and Indo-Guyanese, and the multicultural blend is reflected in local festivals and cuisine. Infrastructure includes schools, medical centers and markets, and the pace of life is relaxed, retaining a traditional rural Caribbean feel.
Lytham can be reached by road or ferry from Georgetown. Visitors can experience the riverside scenery, observe the local birdlife and explore the remains of a nearby sugar plantation. It is also one of the transit points to the Upper Essequibo River Ecotourism Zone.
