Today’s trail trail gradually ascends through cultivated fields and small settlements. The terrain alternates between stone staircases and forested paths. Tashi Gaon is the last permanent village, offering expansive views of surrounding ridges.

A demanding day with a continuous climb through dense rhododendron and oak forest. The vegetation gradually thins as altitude increases. The final section becomes steeper and more exposed, reaching Khongma Danda, a key acclimatization point.

This day trail crosses several high points along rocky alpine terrain. Weather exposure increases, and views of high Himalayan peaks begin to open. After traversing ridgelines, a descent leads to Dobate.

Leaving Dobate, the route descends through forested slopes and enters the scenic Barun Valley. The trail follows the river with gradual ups and downs. Yangle Kharka is a wide grazing meadow surrounded by mountains.

Today, the valley opens significantly as we trek above tree line. The terrain becomes more alpine with glacial moraine and yak pastures. The gradual ascent helps acclimatization before reaching Langmale Kharka.

This day trail climbs back toward Dobate through forest and rocky terrain. Moderate but sustained ascent.

Leaving Dobate, we will cross ridgelines before descending steeply through forested slopes. The day involves mixed terrain and significant downhill sections. The lower altitude brings thicker vegetation and warmer conditions as you approach Danda Kharka.
