After breakfast, your jeeps are waiting to take you to Bheetri, the start point of your trek. This is also the last village on the motorable roads of this region, and has only about a hundred households. You'll begin your trek from here. Your first rest point is at Sarutaal, which is a seasonal pond at the edge of the cliff. The scenery is already spectacular. Rest for a while here and enjoy the view before moving on. You'll trek through beautiful forests covers to reach a grassy opening in the middle of the forest (known as thaach locally). Here, you will spot domesticated cows, buffaloes, and horses grazing in the grass pastures. You will pitch your tents here for the night.
