After breakfast, we begin our journey with a steep climb to the large Magar village at Ulleri (2,070m). Then the trail continues to ascend more gently, through dense forests of oak and rhododendrons towards Banthanti (2250m).

We come back to Ghorepani for a hot breakfast and start walking to Tadapani. Here the trail climbs alongside ridges with pine and rhododendron forests to the Deurali and then descends through beautiful waterfalls, streams, and dense forest to Banthati. The streams have some clear pools alongside the trail which finally climbs up to the final destination Tadapani meaning ‘hot water.’ This is the water supply for a village far away.

We then continued to Deurali. On the ridge above Hinko is the stretch of trail that is subject to avalanches. Stay overnight at a guesthouse.

The trail goes uphill for a few hours passing some roofless shepherds' huts along the side of a moraine - this area is windy and often snowbound. The trail climbs past the Machhapuchre Base Camp (3,700m), which isn’t really a base camp since climbing the mountain is not permitted.
