After breakfast, drive to Nayapul, the trailhead. Begin trekking along the Modi Khola River and pass through Birethanti, a charming village with teahouses and shops.

From here, a steep staircase of over 3,000 stone steps leads to Ulleri, a Gurung village with incredible views of Annapurna South. Overnight in a Lodge.

The trail ascends gradually through oak and rhododendron forests, alive with birdsong and wildlife. During spring, the rhododendrons bloom in shades of red and pink, creating magical scenery.
