The tarred Northern Highway from Kathmandu goes through Middle Hill forest and farmland to cross the Tadi Khola at Devighat near its confluence with the Trisuli Nadi from Tibet. It then goes North East up the Trisuli Valley to Betrawati. We will continue to Syabru Besi (where the Trisuli becomes the Bhote Koshi Nadi above its confluence with the Langtang Khola). We will stay overnight in Syabru Besi.

The trail follows a rough road through forest for 2 hrs before zigzagging up to the Rongga Bhanjyang (ridge) with views over the Goljung Valley and up to the Ganesh Himal on the border with Tibet. To the south is the Trisuli Valley,to the east is Langtang and Gosaikunda ranges. A four hour easy walk leads to the hamlet of Chaurhattar (2 120m) for lunch. Two hours walk leads to Gotlang, a large and attractive Tibetan village. There is an attractive lake nearby.We will stay overnight in Gotlang.

A more long trail goes to Thambuchet (1 750m) on the Chilime Khola which is an important tributary of the Bhote Khola. Further upstream, at Chilime (1 780m), is a hydroelectric plant. We will ake lunch there.We then cross a suspension bridge to the north bank and climb above the river to Gonggang (2 000m) and on to Tatopani (hot water). The community runs the hot springs where you can enjoy, overlooking the Himalayas. It is believed that these springs have healing qualities that will ease away any aches and pains. We will stay overnight in Tatopani.

The trail ascends toward Nagthali Danda,a high open grassland with scenic views of the snow capped Himalayas. Two routes are possible options from there. The first trail ascends fairly steeply up a river valley toward Taruche (3 800m). If you are feeling well, you can continue up to the ridge for unparalleled northwest views of the Ganesh Himal and closer Paldor (5 903m). To the east is the Langtang Himal with Langtang Lirung (7 227m). We will return to the river and follow the trail to Nagthali Ghyang for similar views.
Another optional trail is from Tatopani to walk southeast to Brimdang (2 850m) for lunch and then we will continue up to Nagthali Ghyang for the panoramic views. From this point,we follow the trail down to the Tibetan influenced Tamang village of Thuman. We will stay overnight in Thuman.

The trail follows the hill contours north crossing a stream and continuing through Dal Phedi (2 120m) and drop to a bridge over the Bhote Koshi. (The border of Nepal with Tibet at Rasuwaghadi is just 2hrs walk to the north on an ancient trade route but it requires a permit to trek that far).
The trade route trail follows the eastern bank down to Lingling for lunch. The path then undulates up to Briddim. We will explore the village observing the traditions and customs of these friendly people. We will stay in the home of a Tamang family. The traditional foods such as plain rice, Tibetan breads, Sherpa stew, spiced potatoes, Tibetan tea are your dinner enjoying with traditional dances.We will stay overnight in Briddim.
