The trail enters the dense forest after an army base. The views of the high, far-off mountains like Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, and Langtang are outstanding from different angles; dark green forests, hills, valleys, birds, and colorful flowers make the hike wonderful.

After hiking through the forest for about three hours, arrive at Suryachaur, an open place with an unblocked Himalayan range. There are some local cottages for lunch with a fantastic view. After the local lunch, the hike continues to Gurje Bhanjyang, where the walk ends, and we drive back to Kathmandu.
