Lively Tamang culture, coniferous pine forest, alpine meadows, sacred lakes, and a rich biodiversity of flora and fauna are the major attractions of this area. As per your time and fitness, you can choose a suitable itinerary.
There are several points Syabrubesi, Betrawati, Charangge Phedi, and Machhakhola where you can either start or end your trek. The main villages are Chalis, Shertung, Lapagaon and Tipling. This trek is quite unique because it is pristine and little frequented by trekkers. Hot springs, white and black lakes, breathtaking views of Langtang, Ganesh Himal and Manaslu will make you feel like you have chosen the right trip.
