We are prepared to start our adventure as soon as we land. You’ll notice a difference in the air quality right away. There will be vegetation all around you as you continue on your trip. The distant peaks will also give you encouragement. The majority of your walk will be through expansive farmlands with a few suspension bridge crossings.

There may be places where the roads are dustier than others, but even so, this contributes to the real, untraveled routes. After walking for a few hours, you will arrive at Tikhedhunga. Situated by a river, Tikhedhunga is a small but vibrant mountain community. Most travelers like to take a break after they get at this settlement because the walk gets more difficult from this point on.

Ulleri is a hilltop village mostly inhabited by Magar people. It provides a stunning view of the verdant valley beneath. You can start to make out peaks like Annapurna and Machhapuchhre peering through the horizon.

It’s a great idea to stop here on the hilltop and have a cup of tea. There will be a beautiful pause before you re-join the trail. The trail leads through a dense rainforest of oak and rhododendron, treating you to the embrace of nature. As you take in the vivid red and deep green hues of nature, the towering trees will offer plenty of shade.

You will then take an excursion up to Khayer Lake, which is considered sacred by Hindus. During your hike to this lake, you will come across numerous small Hindu and Buddhist shrines. Given the altitude and distance, the hike can be quite challenging. You can expect to walk for 7-8 hours today.

However, you will be able to reach this pristine and untouched lake. It is said that taking a bath in the waters of this lake will help you achieve Nirvana. While relaxing in the waters of this sacred lake, the snowy giants Annapurna, Fang, Dhaulagiri, and Nilgiri will provide a stunning backdrop.

Another interesting fact about this lake is that on the full moon in August, locals gather here dressed in traditional attire.
