Paudwar is a beautiful and very authentic village and its people are incredibly friendly. It is much bigger and more compact than you realize at first sight and still not reached by a road. It is well worth taking some time to explore and a nice place to enjoy the sun which here shines a lot longer.  

    • Day 04:Trek to Khopra Danda (6 Hours - 3,640m) Overnight at local tea house

      Trekking trail is almost entirely uphill. We pass beautiful villages and traditional resting places including view towards Ghorepani and Poonhill. It is passing almost 1700 miters altitude by the time we reach at Khopra Danda. Almost all the peoples get here dizziness and nausea or even vomiting because of high altitude.

It is important to bring enough drinking water and foods. The return trip takes almost a full day. It is a remote area, while the walk is nice.

      From Khopra you will descend until you reach a junction at around 3,500 meter altitude. The trail is narrow and there are some steep drops. It is also, however, one of the most beautiful and varied sections of trail. Crossing little streams, going in and out of small valleys, hiking through meadows, bamboo and rhododendron forest it feels like your surroundings are changing with every step. There are lots of up and down reach at Bayeli. Another 1 hour continues walking reach at Dobato. You also can reach at Muldai viewpoint from the lodge.  Muldai is my favourite of the viewpoints in the area as you can look at the mountains at the same angle like from Pun Hill, but you are much closer.
