DAY 03: Trek to Tikhendhunga

A short drive of about two hours after breakfast, in the meandering hilly roads of western Nepal, you will meet up with the trekking crew at Lumle and commence the trek through the meadows and beautifully terraced cropping fields. On crossing a bridge, you will reach a large village bazaar by the name of Birethani, by the confluence of Bhurungdi River and the Modi River. After the Annapurna Conservation Area Project entry registration, you will continue the trek towards a gentle climb, which is rather easy to follow.
Crossing the two bridges over the Bhurungdi River, the trail slowly passes a few lodges. After one more hour, you will reach Hille, and then reach Tirkhedhunga after a mere fifteen more minutes. The day comes to an end at Tirkhedhunga, where the team will stay the night.

DAY 04: Tikhedhunda to Ghorepani

The fourth day begins with a short stroll along the mildly graded trail across a suspension bridge at Tirkhedhunga, where you may actually be slowed down and even halted by more than 3000 stone steps on your way to reach the next destination, Ulleri. Breathtaking views, including the beautifully slate-roofed Magar village awaits you at Ulleri. Magars are of Tibeto-Burman origin and are very skilled craftsmen in stone and wood works. Another magnificent view of Annapurna South and Himchuli, as well as Bhurungdi Valley below, awaits your arrival at Ulleri. Walking and climbing the less steep terrain beyond Ulleri for an hour leads you to Banthanti. Banthani has a few tourist lodges, which gives way to the beautiful forest full of varieties of Rhododendrons, most spectacular during March and April, after the last of the lodges. Gradual ascent for a further two hours leads to Ghorepani, a beautiful village inhabiteb by Magars and surrounded by Rhododendron forests.
