After early breakfast we drive for about 4 hours to Taplejung, leaving Taplejung behind us and trek towards Doban through the old trail passing IT Hotel and Lodge. We trek along this old trail because the new trail is longer and dirty and it is less interesting too.

We climb to a small pass and after the pass the trail steeply descends and soon we trek through flat trail, as we descend further we arrive at a grassy area where there is a lake nearby and from here we ascend again. We will reach the village of Singring and again continue trekking to the small village, Nundhaki. There are only few lodges and houses here, we will find a suitable camping site and camp our tetns here for the night.

We will have an early breakfast and rejoin our trail; the trail begins with descend to a dirt road where you might come across few motor bikes as the villages use this road too. As we continue trekking we leave the dirt road and rejoin the trekking route through stairs to Bhuddhabari, here we will cross two suspension bridges and trek along the road again. From here we then reach a beautiful village called Chitlang, after Chitlang we come across another village called Pokhari Bazar; this is a larger village. We can also stop here for lunch.
