      Today is probably going to be the toughest day of the trek as we hike for around 7 to 8 hours.

Along the trail, we may pass sheep, yaks, and merchants transporting their goods.

Traveling from Marpha to Kalopani we go via Chokhopani Village, a typical Thakali town with a reputation for its distinctive cuisine. On the drive, you will have some fantastic views of several famous mountains, such as Nilgiri, Dhaulagiri, Tukuche, and Annapurna before arriving at Tatopani (meaning hot water).

      We are up before sunrise and trek up to Poon hill to watch the sun rise over the mountains. This is truly a mind-blowing scene that will take your breath away. As dawn approaches the change in colors will have your camera going into overdrive as you capture the ever-changing scenes of the sun rising over the Annapurnas, Dhaulagiri and its other snow-covered peaks. This is definitely one of the best places in Nepal to capture mountain views. We then head back down to Ghorepani for breakfast and then head on a 5-hour descent to Nayapul. The first part of this trail to Tikhedhunga is very steep, and then we pass terraced fields for several hours before coming to Nayapul from where we leave for Pokhara.
