Early in the morning, after having breakfast in the Dhunche hotel, we will start our trekking, gradually ascending through a stream called Ghattae Khola. After strolling for a few minutes, a suspension bridge appeared. Afterward, we strive to meet our target by passing through green rhododendrons and oak forests because it is a long, steady climb to reach Sing Gompa (3,250 m). It takes almost 6-7 hours to complete the steeply-up trail. Simply, you have to tell yourself that your pace is f ine, not speed to acclimate your body from altitude. You must be a little bit lucky too, that along the way you may encounter langur Monkey and Musk Deer. Overnight at the hotel.

After having a warm breakfast in the morning, we move more upward, via Laurina to Gosaikunda. Beautiful surroundings and perfectly amazing views of the white snowcapped mountain with a chilling environment intoxicate you very easily. Lauribina (3,700 m (12,100 ft)) is a place where many domestic and foreign tourists choose to stay for the morning view and to acclima tize to the altitude for the next day. Actually, altitude sickness is a challenge since the ascent is quite steep and there is no vegetation from here. It is a great spot to view Manaslu, the Langtang range, and other great Himalayan peaks

After a One-night stay at Gosaikunda, early in the morning around 6:30, we will descend a few steps toward the lake and worship as per religious belief. If you like to take a bath in the lake, you can. But it is extremely cold. So, you need to dare to bathe. After a few minutes, we started our journey towards Laurebina La Pass (4,610 m (15,120 ft)) near Suryakunda. We must take a rest a few times and take the pic and start to descend to Ghopte via Phedi, where we stop for a tea break and the vegetation parts will start from here. It all depends on the pace of the walk; it might take 8 hours to reach Ghopte.

After breakfast, we move slowly and steadily. But we have the option to stay for lodging and food at Thadepati (3490 m (11450 ft)), which just takes 2:30 hours from Ghopte. From here, some people choose to take the route to Helambu too. But, after taking a meal over there, we descended rapidly to Golfu Bhanjyang. In accordance with pace, you can get options to stay at Tharepati, Mangen-goth, Kutumsang, and several villages further downhill. But we pass all those villages, beautiful alpine forests, pleasing sound of rivers plus springs, Buddhist Gumbas, and reach Golfu Bhanjyang at sunset & overnight stay at a tea house lodge
