You will have a pleasant welcome dinner and then spend a pleasant night in the comfy bed.

Taking light breakfast early in the morning, our guide will then take you for a pleasant day tour inside Kathmandu which encompasses the UNESCO enlisted sites like the holiest shrine of Shiva at Pashupatinath Temple Complex, the Bouddhanath Stupa, and Swayambhunath Temple aka Monkey Temple. The tour will conclude by taking you to Kathmandu Durbar Square which is a historical site. Home of Living Goddess- Kumari, Kasthamandap Temple, and Kal Bhairab are some must-see sites around Kathmandu Durbar Square.

It takes about 5hour of a scenic drive through the slithering road with beautiful views of rice fields, terraces, and hills to take us to Trishuli Bazaar from where we will follow the bumpy dirt road to Dhunche. From Dhunche, we will continue along the road to Syabrubesi Bazaar which is crowded with several hotels and lodges. We will spend the night in a lodge at Syabrubesi.

Disembarking at Syabrubesi, we will follow the raised path for about 4hours which will take us to the top of the Rongga Bhanjyang. We will enjoy the scenic views of some enchanting mountains before lowering down to Goljung Village which positions itself at 1960m altitude.

It takes about 5 hours of walk from Goljung Village to arrive at Tamang Village of Gatlang which is located at 2240m altitude height. Exploring around Gatlang, we will pay a visit to a Tibetan Monastery in Gatlang. Parvatikunda Lake is another must-visit place in Gatlang.
