Trek from Dharapani to Chame (2,670m / 8,759ft), Distance: ~15 km and Duration: 5 hours.

In the morning, you’ll get to enjoy the clear views of Mt. Manaslu, Annapurna II, Lamjung Himal, and the Marshyangdi River far below. You’ll walk around 15 to 16 kilometers through thick forests and waterfalls.

After breakfast, you’ll hike through quiet villages like Thonche, Bagarchhap, and Danakyu, where farmers farm in barley fields and children play around. The trail gets steeper as it passes Timang village and enters the dense Lamatro jungle before reaching Thanchok, a peaceful Buddhist settlement.

The scenery changes completely as thick green forests give way to rocky slopes near Koto village. Trekkers stop here for tea and rest before the final walk to Chame, the biggest town on the whole circuit.
