Our day begins with an early start as we embark on a road trip from Kathmandu to Maccha Khola, a journey spanning 7 to 8 hours. Our route takes us through Arughat, a stopping point along the way. Traveling alongside the Budhi Gandaki River, we will witness the recent dam project undertaken by Nepal, showcasing the country's ongoing development efforts. Finally, we will arrive at Maccha Khola, where we will make preparations for the upcoming trek and settle in for the night.

We will start our journey from day 4 by hiking towards Jagat. During the hike, we will be walking alongside the Budhi Gandaki River which is a tributary of Gandaki River in Nepal.

However, our objective for the day is not done as we will be heading towards Mu Gompa at 3700m which is the largest monastery in the area as well as the highest point of our trek. The monastery contains priceless Buddhist artifacts and cultural heritage and will give you an insight into Buddhism in Nepal.

We will then start our descent on the trek and head back towards Lokpa which we crossed earlier while heading up towards the valley. We will continue crossing through pine and rhododendron forests and after a 6-to-7-hour hike, we will eventually reach Lokpa.

After spending the night at Lokpa, we will continue descending and reach Jagat which is a large Gurung settlement in the area. Along the way, we will also be able to rejoin the Budhi Gandaki River.

The trek back to Maccha Khola will be a pleasant and easy one as the route mainly comprises us walking downhill. We will continue crossing several suspension bridges along the way and will be able to take in the sights we may have missed earlier while Ascending
