Day 01 :

Drive from Kathmandu to Aarughat Bazaar (570m.) which takes about 6 to 7 hours. You drive along the Kathmandu-Pokhara Highway for the first part of the day; we turn of towards to the hill bazaar of Gorkha. After Gorkha the road gets a bit rough but you will reach your destination Arughat Bazaar in approximately seven hours from Kathmandu.

Day 02 :

Trek from Aarughat to Sundi Khola (730m) which takes about 5 to 6 hours. On Your first day on the trail you head north, following the Buri Gandaki. In the low country, rice paddies and picturesque hamlets surround you. After climbing briefly to Kyoropani, you descend once again to the river and your campsite at the confluence with the tributary of Sundi Khola. It is a nice first day not too long, and perhaps you have time for a refreshing swim sometime during the day for it is hot in the low country.

Day 03 :

Trek form Sundi Khola to Machha Khola (930m.) which takes about 4 to 5 hours. The country changes, the broad valley narrows and at times the trail is cut into the steep valley side, which is densely forested. You pass a number of small villages, tucked into the hillside, until you reach a widening of the valley, opposite the point where a large tributary stream enters the Buri Gandaki. The terraced farmland here belongs to the village of Lapbesi. You descend once again to the wide, sandy riverbed and follow a path, which runs below the steep, craggy valley side. At length, you have to climb up once again on a trail to Machha Khola. You camp outside the village, which has a number of teashops.

Day 04 :

Trek from Machha Khola to Jagat (1370m.) which takes about 5 to 6 hours. You cross the Machha Khola - Fish Stream - and head upstream to the tiny village of Khola Bensi and the hot springs at Tatopani. The valley sides are steeping until they are impassable and the route then switches to the left bank by way of a suspension bridge. The trail is quite exposed and challenging in places. After a short section of forest path you reach the single teahouse at Doban. Above Doban, the Buri Gandaki descends an impressive series of rapids. Beyond this steep section, the river is much more placid, meandering across a broad gravel bed. At Lauri, you re cross the river on a suspension bridge, and then climb on a high path to the fields of Jagat, where you camp.

Day 05 :

Trek form Jagat to Deng (1860m) which takes about 7 to 8 hours. After descending a long series of stone steps to the river, you climb a terraced hill to Saguleri, from where you can see the impressive Sringi Himal, 7187m. Crossing the river again, at Gata Khola, the path splits, with the right-hand branch heading off towards the Ganesh Himal. Your route continues upstream, through a gorge section with towering walls. You cross the river three more times in the next two hours to avoid difficult valley sides and then climb up over a further steep spur to reach the village of Deng (four houses), where you camp. Today is a longer day of around 7 hours trekking.

Day 06:

Trek from Deng to Ghap (2380m.) which takes about 7 to 8 hours. The valley is still steep-sided and most impressive. You cross to the village of Lana, and start to see mani stones (prayers etched onto wayside rocks), a sure sign that you are entering the high country Buddhist regions. After only about four hours you reach your camping place at the village of Ghap, which straddles the river. You have entered the Tibetan areas and the cultural change is obvious, and the climate change is obvious the trekking is pleasantly cool now, as you start to gain the altitude.

Day 07 :

Trek from Ghap to lho village (3020m) which
