Itinerary
Day 1
Our trip strats with a departure from Kathmandu for Dhap in our private vehicle. The black-topped road follows the Sunkoshi River and joins the Tama Koshi River forming the huge Koshi River until we reach a place called Ghurmi. We eat our lunch there and continue our journey through the deep rhododendron forest. We pass by many settlement areas before arriving in Dhap where we will take a short break. From here, we further continue to Dhap.

Overnight : Comfort Lodge in Dhap Bazaar
Day 2
The view is stunning at dusk from Dhap. But, the dawn view is much more mesmerising. We will rise before dawn to witness the first rays of the sun changing the White Mountains into golden. We will have our breakfast admiring the landscapes and scenery, and start the trekking journey from here. We walk along the bumpy roads till we reach our destination Jhapre.
