Day 3: After breakfast at 8 am, we will start our downhill trek to Ghatichinna for around 3 hrs. The trail passes through forest patches with a possibility of encountering wildlife and birds. During September to November, the marihuana plant can be seen in full bloom. This trek is not considered ideal in monsoon season due to the risk of leeches and impenetrable undergrowth. After arriving in Ghatichinna, we will ride back to Pokhara.
