On the very first day we will be driving from Kathmandu to Besisahar. Besisahar municipality has a warm and sub - tropical type of climate with deciduous forest. We are spending our first night in Ngadi which is 1 hour far from besisahar where we can see different flora and fauna playing along with different vegetation, spring water fall and many eye attracting views. Ngadi is inhabited by Gurung ethnicity. According to the Gurung language "nga" means dhyangro and "tiy" means broken. It is called Ngadi village as one day on the occasion of ‘Makar Sankranti’ while the wizards were playing a dyango (Nepali musical instrument), it broke.

From Ngadi we will have around 1 hour of ride from Ngadi to Khudi, from here we start our trek. Instead of following the vehicle route we take an alternative walking path. In between we pass by several small villages, spring waterfalls and several forests where we can see different rare flora and fauna playing along with different vegetation and a spectacular view of the Annapurna range and Manaslu.

Ghale Gaun view point is 5 or 10 mins far from the place you will be staying, from where you can witness spectacular view of Annapurna Himalayan Range, Ganesh Himal, Lamjung Himal and Manaslu Himal as well as the whole Ghale Gaun village landscape. After reaching Ghalegaun we will enjoy a cultural dance known as ‘Ghatu Naach’. There are two types of ghatu dance: ‘Satya Ghatu Dance’ (starting from Sri-Panchami and ending at Buddha Purnima) and ‘Baramashey Ghatu Dance’ ( on any occasion). Other dances include ‘Krishna Charitra Dance’ (when they give birth to the elder son) and ‘Jhyaure Dance’ (men and women, sing and dance together). All of these are organized by the local homestay communities.

We start our trek towards Bhujung passing through various small Gurung settlements, waterfalls and rhododendron forests with the view of beautiful landscapes. You can also see traditional houses made of stone slabs.

This day we will walk 5 to 6 hours to reach Pasgaun. The first one hour is downhill up to medium river and then 3 hours uphill to reach deurali and after 1 hour downhill we arrive at pas gaun.
