Day 3: Trek to Lama Hotel (2470 meters)

Today’s trail crosses the Bhote Kosi — meaning ‘Tibet River’ — which flows from nearby Tibet.

It then gradually climbs through sub-tropical forests to join the trail from Syabru Besi, then climbing through uninhabited oak and rhododendron forests.

Look out for langur monkeys in the trees. The path through the forest up to Lama Hotel becomes steep, but the reward is a comfortable bed in a cozy lodge in the small settlement.
