Our path passes through small villages where we can see how the diverse ethnic groups live side by side. We camp at Sano Okhareni near a pine forest and with great views of the mountains.

After breakfast, we start our trekking slowly with about 1 hour of gradual uphill walking to ThuloOkhareni. From ThuloOkhreni, we get into the steeper climb with about 4 hours of walking through dense rhododendron and pine forest. If we are lucky and observant, we might spot some wild animals such as mountain deer or langur monkeys and Nepali birdlife like the Kalij, danfe, etc.

Today’s trekking is nice and gentle since most of the walking will be on the flat land giving you the chance to enjoy forest trails and if luck shines some wildlife spotting. We have about 5 to 6 hours through the lush forest of rhododendron, oak, pine, and juniper and we can see some nomad’s houses for cattle on the way. In Pauwa Bas there is a shelter for pilgrims to PanchPokhari.

This morning, through the steep uphill route, we continually ascend for about 3 hours, but at a gradual pace. We get our breath back on the steep downhill and start to descend through the steep downhill for about one and half hour through the forest. On our descend to HilleBhanjyang, we have some great mountain views from the trail.

Today we have an easy walk of about 4 hours. In the beginning, we have steep uphill so we make a slow ascending taking about an hour.

There is a small rest house for pilgrims on their way to the holy site of PanchPokhari and we have great mountain views from our campsite.

Today is a huge day of the trip. We have about 3 hours of gradual ascent through rocky hills to reach our destination of Panch Pokhari.

In August, people make a pilgrimage trip to this place on the occasion of Janai Purnima festival. Many Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims visit this site each year. Small huts are built for the pilgrimage devotees and the temple dedicated to Lord Shiva.

We have about one and a half hours uphill to see the beautiful sight of the sun rising over the Himalayas and our panoramic view includes Mt.DorjeLakpa, JugalHimal Range, Rolwaling Range, and Langtang Range. After this incredible start to the morning, we head back down to the camp site and pack up the things. We have about six hours down some steep trails through the rhododendron forest toTupiDanda.
