Best season for trekking October to November and March to April

1st Day in Charikot:
We are beginning our tour in Kathmandu.

Your next destination is Dolakha-Charikot, from where you commence your trek to Kalinchowk. It is about 6 hours' drive from Kathmandu via Arniko Highway crossing the Bhote Koshi river bridge at Dolalghat and turning east by crossing the Sun Koshi river.

The mountainous road (Lamosangu - Jiri Road) climbs up to 2600 m altitude providing the spectacular panoramic view of the mountains to the east and west before gently descending to Charikot. The place Charikot is situated at 2000 m altitude from sea level and 1000 m above the Tama Koshi river valley.

2nd Day:
Your next day or second day in trekking: After a nice breakfast trek will start targeting toward Kalinchowk Hill Top, north-west of Charikot by gently climbing up for Gairi Kharkha Camp via Deurali. Most part of the area is surrounded by green forests with fresh air and shadowy ways. On occasions you will see several kinds of flowers in the forest - red and dark red rhododendrons - and hear the sweet voice of several kinds of birds. You will be lost in joys with this beautiful nature and you will forget all your boredoms by nature beauty.

3rd Day:
Your third day will start with spectacular views of the Numbur Himal with range to Gauri Shankar. Till your lunch Camp at Kuri, the area is covered with rhododendron forests with white color rhododendrons in full bloom and spectacular landscapes with other several kinds of flowers.

From this Hill Top of Kalinchowk, you can see several Himalayan ranges which are most famous and popular in the world.

After your sightseeing around and photograph you will descend for one hour toward Camp Kuri. In this trekking in any time you can see a lot of pilgrims who are climbing up and descending. And this temple is famous for annual ceremony in August/September every year.

4th Day:

On your fourth day all trekking team will descend for Charikot via all previous camps in a single day, which is about 6 hours descending. On that day if group would like to sightsee or hike around Dolakha, it takes about 15 minutes by drive or one hour on foot.
