        Individuals will be driven to your hotel after departure. The city is approximately 3 km away from Nepal's southern border of India. It is indeed pretty hot and muggy outdoors.

        • Day 4 Flight from Nepalgunj to Jhupal and trek to Dunai

          We are getting on a plane to Juphal today, which could last approximately 35 minutes. Our trip begins at Juphal. The trail passes through the tiny settlements since it falls. We continue anywhere along the river, crossing via RoopGhar, which includes a water mill, eventually arriving at the Dunai (2150m). You can see schools, a police station, and some government offices nearby. Overnight at the guest house.

          • Day 5 Trek to Ankhe

                On this day, you depart the river as well as proceed along a trail that is elevated well above water.
