This would be really a wonderful trek for those who are nature lovers. First day meet Gurung people (the backbone of the famous Gorkha regiment) along the trail to Karuwa The second day would be great for bird watching, observing wild mountain animals and wild flowers in the rhododendron and pine forest along the Pipre ridge.
