Journey at a glance
Day 1: Day 1: Kathmandi - Dhunche via Trishuli — We will pick you up from your hotel in Kathmandu and drive to Trishuli by bus (approx. 3 hours). After a 20-minute lunch stop in Trishuli, we will continue to Dhunche. The first bus usually arrives in Dhunche by 3:00 pm, and the second bus by 5:00 pm. Please be prepared for potential delays. You will stay overnight in one of the lodges in Dhunche, a peaceful village with friendly locals. (Sleep at 6,450 feet) Day 2: Dhunche - Singh Gompa — Walk to Singh Gompa (approx. 5 hours), passing a few usually closed tea houses. The trail is fairly steep, typical of Nepal.
