The journey
This short and sweet trek offers incredible mountain views and a taste of traditional culture. Relatively easy compared to other treks in Nepal, it starts from Nayapul along the Modi River, then continues to Hile, Tikhe Dhunga, and Ghorepani. It combines the thrilling wonders of trekking with a more relaxed journey than many other options in this region.
It is considered the best spot for a sunrise view as well as 360-degree panoramic mountain views.
