Experience a guided trek from Manungkot with a stunning Himalayan sunrise. Hike through villages and terraced fields to Tharpu Bazaar, experiencing local culture and scenic landscapes in a day trip.

Pass through small settlements where you can stop for home-cooked local meals or refreshing tea breaks while chatting with friendly villagers. The hike concludes at Tharpu Bazar, a lively hill market town where you can explore local shops, enjoy a traditional lunch, and take transport connections back toward Damauli or Pokhara.
