After completion of your day tour, you will be having meeting with your trek guide at our office/hotel. He will brief you about the Trek and all the essentials. The Thamel has many trekking gear shops, where you can buy missing gear in the late evening and get ready for the driving to Pokhara.

This takes about six hours. You depart early morning at 7 o’clock for the six hours drive by tourist deluxe bus to Pokhara (915m,), 200 kilometers west of Kathmandu. As you climb out of the Kathmandu valley, only to quickly descend again to the Trisuli River, you follow upstream to its junction with the Marsyangdi River. You follow the Marsyangdi gently up through heavily terraced fields and small hill towns to the Seti River that takes you directly into Pokhara. Blessed with pleasant weather, Pokhara is tourist’s paradise with full of natural as well as cultural heritage sites such as lakes, caves, temples of Buddhist and Hindus along with snowcapped mountains. You can observe views to the north across the hills and Phewa Tal (lake) to the white peaks of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. This drive will take most of the morning, leaving much of your afternoon to fall in love with its beauty. You can also fly from Kathmandu to Pokhara which takes about 25 minutes.

This takes about three hours. A broad trail begins through rice fields near the Army Camp, and then ascends through Rakhigaon to a Chautara, a resting place under a large pipal tree. On the way, you can enjoy the views that are a delight to the eyes. The trail now climbs gently along a ridge top through the Brahmin and Chhetri villages towards Kalikasthan (1370m.). At the end, you will need to climb for a short distance to the campsite which is situated above the village with panoramic views of glistening mountains, Begnas Tal {lake} and Pokhara city. 

This would take approx five and half hours. The trails follow along the forested ridge top through a rugged motor able road passing through Thulokot and Majhthana (1220m.). Your trail then begins to climb gently for some distance and winds through Naudanda. Towards the end, you can descend gently towards Lipeyani. From hereabouts, you will witness amazing views of Machhapuchhre, Annapurna ranges, Lamjung Himal and Manasalu.

This takes approximately six hours. The trails cut through a motor able road for some distance and start to climb gently for some time. Then you begin a flat hike to Shaklung (1250m.), a Gurung village. Your trek continues to follow along the broad motor able road passing through forests and you then reach Ramkot at (1030m.), you then descend steeply to cross road named Sarka Bhanjyang (870m.). After this, your trail climbs steeply through stone staircase and into chestnut forests to the Mohariya Bhanjyang (1130m.). You then continue to climb gently towards Chisopani village, home to the Gurung community. Your stay is about 50 meters above the village. From here, you get to enjoy the beautiful views of different mountains as well as green hills and terraces.

This, we reckon, takes about five and half hours. From Chisopani Danda, you descend along the ridge for an hour or so and descend steeply along the stone steps, into a small valley and stream that feeds Rupa Taal. You Continue for a short distance through rice fields, and then make a final ascent to the ridge that separates Begnas Taal and Rupa Taal. This ridge is called Sundari {beautiful} Danda at (720m.) which relevantly means pretty Hills. From these hills, your trek continues climbing gently and descends into Begnas Taal Bazaar. From here, you can take a vehicle to get back to Pokhara.

While driving from Pokhara to Kathmandu, you go up to Damauli, Dumre, Mugling and Kurintar where Nepal’s first Cable car is operated to reach Manakamana {wishes} Temple. En route, you could enjoy the mountain views, green sceneries, rice terrace fields, vegetable fields and see the local folks happily engaged in their daily life activities. From Naubishe, you climb up to Thankot, gateway to the capital city of Kathmandu. You can also fly from Kathmandu to Pokhara which takes about 25 minutes.
