We start our journey from Kathmandu to Chhimti local bus stop. After reaching Chhimti we can hike up to Tupi Danda, so we can make our hiking easy the next day. The 1st day of the Trek was all about climbing uphills and our last stop for the day was Tuppi Danda (Known as Brongdogyang in the local Tamang language), which crossed through Deurali, a day stop for many people, but moved ahead to Tuppi Danda and had a nice stay at Kale Dai’s homestay.
Day 2: Tuppi Danda टुपि डाँडा, Gloche, Nepal to Panch Pokhari, Nepal
Chilly early morning, journey that encountered multiple Chhortens and a beautiful stone-paved trail accompanied by beautiful Rhododendron forest and autumn leaves all over. The light of the setting sun added a golden touch to the surroundings. We could see a beautiful panoramic view of that area from there. The view looks mesmerizing throughout the trail. Crossing through Chhata Ghabha (a narrow passage having religious importance in Hindu and Buddhist mythology), rocky terrains, steep hills, and grueling stairs we will reach Lauri Bina and then finally enter the Panchpokhari area.
