Waking through the village it is amazing to see how, even in one year, it is developing into a thriving hub of activity. Along the main 'street' you can buy everything needed for a trek, although I'm sceptical that all the well known brands on display are genuine
The days walk is scheduled to take us from 9,000ft (2,750m) to 9,300ft (2,850). So the 6 hour journey is going to be relatively level - Wrong!
The trail follows the Dudh Kosi river and is steep ascents and sharp descents, but never level! It's a challenging first day, but rewarded with spectacular views, and best of all, the wonderful Nepali villagers who greet you with a smiling Nemaste as you pass by.
Here are a few on the highlights:
6 suspension bridges over the river
Flowering rhododendron trees
And a lodge that I presume only accommodates Trekkers from Scotland!
