Waking up early for the sunrise, offers anyone with breathe catching view of the Annapurna’s and the Manaslu range. We will start our ride after a breakfast through the lovely forest. Around 30 minutes of descend through the technical trail followed by some stairs leads to Dhampus. As soon as we descend down to Dhampus the wider trail awaits us to lead to Khani Gaun then becomes more technical until we reach to the suspension bridge. After crossing the bridge the ride becomes easier. We will enter to the authentic Gurung village known as Lawang. The village looks more beautiful with its typical houses with the slate roofs.
