The weather in summer is full of monsoon rains and winters are cold.On the way we come across different settlements with varied cultures,different vegetations,Varieties of wild animals and bird species.After four days trekking we don't find good villages for marketing the necessaries.So trekkers are advised to be fully equipped on leaving fro trek.

There are two ways of approacing to htis sector.Firsly ,Fly from Kathamdnu to Taplejung and back the same way. Secondlly, Drive to Dhankuta and end your trek in Gopaytar and back to Kathamdnu by local bus or chartere land - rover.
