All along the trek you could get sumptuous view of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges.

The trail starts off from Beni, a small bustling town on the outskirts of Pokhara valley, slowly crisscrossing through picturesque villages, terraced fields and pine and rhododendron forests. Jaljala pass located at an altitude of 3650m is the only high altitude pass you will cross in this trekking.

The original ethnic inhabitants of this region are Magars and Chhetris with sparse population of Chantyals. Gurjagaon, Darbang, Sibang and Babiyachaur are some of the culturally rich and traditional villages you will stop over for some real ethnic experience. Part of the trail initially follows the Dolpo trekking route.
