Today marks the start of your off-road Himalayan adventure. Departing Besisahar, the trail becomes rugged and remote as you enter the highlands of Manang. Along the way, you pass through Nepal’s first mountain tunnel, carved dramatically into the cliffside, and make scenic stops at both the Octopus Waterfall and the powerful Chyamje Waterfall. You'll traverse charming stone villages such as Jagat, Tal, and Dharapani, capturing the cultural essence of the region. By afternoon, you reach Bhratang, home to one of Nepal’s largest and most famous apple orchards. Enjoy a guided tour of the apple farm and taste fresh apple pie, juice, and other homemade apple products. Overnight at the Apple Farm House or a nearby eco-lodge.
