Full Day Walk ( 5-6 Hours )

(A) Begnaskote
Leave your resort after breakfast carrying picnic lunch. It's a nice day's walk as you hike along the Sundari Danda ridge going east over Bhanjyang with the trail slowly leading higher through forests of Hazelnut and Saal trees. Take a short break at Pauraake Danda exploring this small Bahun village perched high on the ridge. The views of the surrounding hill sides and of the twin lakes of Rupa and Begnas is simply breathtaking.Walk steadily north gaining a slight altitude through Begnas village, a spread out spectacle of clean mud houses and terraced fields. Higher up is Begnas Maidan, an open meadow perched on a hilltop from where one can have the most spectacular mountain views sweeping from east to west in a vast snowy expanse; Manaslu (8156m) the entire Annapurna massif with such prominent peaks as Annapurna II (7937m), Annapurna III & IV as well as Mt. Macchapuchare (6993m) and weather permitting, the distant Dhaulagiri (8167m) in the far west. Just the spot for a picnic. After lunch visit Deurali temple where villagers come to have their wishes fulfilled. Higher up along this trail is Begnaskote, an old military lookout dating back a couple of centuries when local Rajahs needed to defend their small kingdoms. Walk down to your resort.

(B) Kalikasthan
Take a short drive towards Pokhara till Bijaypur Khola, a small river. Walk along an uphill trail passing through small colorful ethnic villages of Gurungs and Ghales. The trail continuously leads upwards winding round terraced fields and villages homes till you reach Kalikasthan, a vantage point for viewing the mountains at close range. The vast sweeping snowy expanse you see covers three distinct mountain clusters of the central Himalaya - the Manaslu, the Annapurna and the Dhaulagiri, each with one dominant peak over 8,000 meters high. From here you will also see the Maadikhola gorge in the distance with the river slowly meandering down between the foothills. After your picnic lunch walk eastwards following the Kalikasthan ridge, which is dotted with small, pretty mountain villages inhabited mostly by ethnic hill tribes. Then walk southwards passing some more hutment and a large village school before making a steep descent to Shyankhudi, a small fishing village on the western corner of Begnas. Cross the lake in boats to reach your resort.
