Here’s an independent trip report by Sathya:
9th – 27th Oct 2012
Lonely planet : Trekking in the Nepal Himalayas.
Note : The LP guide refers to this trek as a camping trek as of 2009 (when it was published). This trek can currently be done as a tea-house trek. The lodges in this trek are very rustic and there are just 1 or 2 lodges that are open in each of the villages en route. Do not expect anything more than dal-bhat at these lodges. …
Permits – One just needs a TIMS permit for this trek. …
Getting to/from the trailhead (Khandbari):
This is as arduous a task as the trek itself.
Coming from Kathmandu : The best way (most comfortable) to get to this is to take a flight (Buddha air) to Tumlingtar from Kathmandu. … Khandbari is less than an hour’s drive. …
