Combining the challenge of trekking with the luxury of a helicopter ride back, it provides a rewarding experience for adventurers.

From there, the trek winds through terraced farmlands and traditional villages like Jhinu Danda, Chomrong, Dovan, Deurali, and Machhapuchhre Base Camp over 4 to 5 days.
