After two hours of drive to Nayapul we will begin our walk through Bhurungdi Khola. Then we will depart to Tirkhedung where we will have our lunch. We will keep on trailing down and cross the Bhurungdi Khola at a point to reach Ulleri. There we will stay in a lodge and rest.

Early in the morning we will be climbing staircase that seems to go Total endless. But relax as we climb high up the stairs we will have spectacular view of Annapurna South. Further, we enter a wooded area passing pink blooming trees and large bamboo plants and come across a stream to be in Banthanti (2300m). Ahead, to the Nangathanti (2520 m), an hour climbs away to Ghorepani (2750m). On the trail to Nangathanti, we have jungle with thick vegetation, mossy tree and then we follow a stream up to a narrow valley climbing more stairs.

Hike for around 1 hour to Poonhill (3190m) early in the morning. At the top of the Himalayas, offers a breathtaking view of the Dhaulagiri & Annapurna Range as rising sun swathes with its rays.. Trek back to Ghorepani and hit the trail back to Tadapani (2590m). The trail extends itself towards north in a ridge line allowing visibility of Annapurnas stretching from east to west. Moving along with the canyon leads to sharply descending muddy slope followed by small settlement. Persisting down the narrow and muddy canyon which is heavily forested goes along with stream and down it sometimes. Finally,we arrive at open area visualizing a bigger valley. After hiking a dense forest and moving down to the stream we reach Tadapani for lodging.

The easy trail falls to Kimrung Khola and ascends again to reach Chhomrong Village. The village provides a beautiful view of Annapurna south, it is situated at the base of Hiunchuli Himal which is the highest permanent residential area in the valley. Chhomrong is one of the biggest village of Gurung ethnic people of Nepal. They are especially popular as a warrior after their fearless fight in the 1st and 2nd world war. These people are still serving as British Gorkha Army.

About 3 hr trek to Kuldi Ghar the route falls very steeply till the bank of rock to level out. Keeping the west side of rivers the undulating trail runs through thickest bamboo at the bottom of the gorge, pastures of Tomo. The trail then continues to the very neck of the gorge at Panchen Barah next to a small trail and shrine. Further, we climb to Himalaya Hotel for camp.

From here, our journey to the marvelous view starts through forest of rhododendron, bamboo and oak intercepted by small streams. The final stretch follows the, corridor-like hollow between the glacier and the mountain flank, ablation valley. The sensational 360-degree views of the near-vertical Annapurna I(8091) &III(7555), Machhapuchhare, Varhha Shikar (7647), Khansar Kang (7485) and several other peaks towering above us like a white blanket of snow and ice and you may see Himalayan Thar, Himalayan weasles or pika(mouse-hare),thugh there are very few birds.

From here, we trace downhill to a pleasant camp spot at Bamboo which shouldn’t be very difficult.

The undulating trail through Khuldighar, across Chhomrong Khola to Chhomrong village and descent towards Sulphur-mixed hot spring located at Jhinua Danda. It is believed in Nepalese society that taking a bath here makes the skin disease and gout curable. Here, trekkers can enjoy natural hot spring water and relax after a tiresome trek.
