The trek begins from Sundarijal , a Himalayan river-fed water reservoir and climbs onto the Shivapuri ridge offering gorgeous views of Gauri Shanker (7134 m), Langtang Lirung (7246 m) and Ganesh Himal (7405 m).Following a ridge line the trail passes through Kutumsang (2460 m), the first permanently inhabited village of this trek and climbs through cool rhododendron forests to Tharepati (3597 m), the highest point of the trek. The gompa that we come across at Tarke Ghyang commands excellent views of Dorje Lakpa (6996 m) and Ganja La to the north.
