Day 2 Hike from Sundarijal to Haibung

Meet your transfer at your Kathmandu hotel and drive (50 minutes) to the village of Sundarijal. Upon arrival, there’s a short briefing with your trekking guide before you head towards Chisapani, ascending steps along the way. Reach Mulkharka village after walking alongside the Bagmati River and through Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park. Here, we observe the countryside life of the Tamang community and their terraced farms around the place. Take a water break before continuing to Haibung, passing through the forest and alongside the Nagmati River. You should reach Prakriti Resort and Organic Farm in Haibung around lunchtime. Freshen up and relax in this beautiful resort that lies in Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park, perhaps with a spot of birdwatching. After lunch, explore Dhap Dam and the surrounding area. Accommodation: Prakriti Resort and Organic Farm (or similar)

Day 3 Haibung to Salinadi via Jhule

Wake early this morning (and cross your fingers for clear skies) if you'd like to watch the sun rise over the Himalaya. Breakfast is at 7am, after which, we begin our hike, going off-road through Shivapuri Nagarjun. Reach Jhule in three to four hours, where we can observe the lifestyle of the Brahmin, Chhetri, and Tamang community and enjoy views over Himalaya peaks. Have a tea break and continue walking towards Jarsingpauwa, taking a route that leads us through villages and forest. Reach Patrizia School in Dhokson around 1.30pm, taking the chance for a water break and brief rest. Along the way, you'll also pick up food for lunch to fuel your afternoon walk. After, take a downhill trail through jungle to Palubari village, before arriving in Salinadi around 5pm. A 20-minute transfer then takes us to our home for night, Basecamp 1975. Accommodation: Basecamp 1975 (or similar)

Day 4 To Kathmandu via Boudhanath Stupa

Enjoy a relaxed breakfast before transferring back to Kathmandu with a stop at the Boudhanath Stupa, a World Heritage Site, spending an hour visiting the stupa followed by time for lunch. After, transfer to your hotel for check in and an afternoon at leisure. If this add-on tour takes place as a warm-up to your main trip, today is arrival day for the rest of your group. This evening, join up with your new travel companions and meet your tour leader for the welcome briefing. Accommodation: Royal Singi/Yak & Yeti (as per your main trip) If you choose this add-on tour after your main trip, then you start on Day 2 of this itinerary, the last day of your main trip.
