The trek is an ideal choice for first-time trekkers who are looking for a moderate and rewarding experience. It begins with a leisurely day of walking through the terraced fields and quaint villages of the lower Himalayas. You’ll pass through local villages like Ghandruk and Landruk, stopping to observe the traditional culture and architecture of the local population. As you continue on the trail, it begins to get higher and steeper, as you climb up to the lush terraces of Ghorepani.

Once you have reached Naya Pul, you will cross over the Modi Khola River gorge and climb to the town of Ghandruk.
