After breakfast, begin a scenic drive from Pokhara to Jhinu Danda, the starting point of the trek. Crossing a suspension bridge over the Modi Khola, the trail gradually ascends through lush rhododendron and bamboo forests toward Chhomrong, offering beautiful views of Annapurna South and Machapuchare along the way.

The total trekking distance is approximately 10–12 km, and the journey usually takes around 5–6 hours depending on pace and trail conditions, offering a scenic combination of forest paths, mountain views, and traditional village landscapes.

After breakfast at Jhinu Danda, begin your final journey with a short downhill walk to the roadhead, passing through terraced fields and subtropical forest scenery. If time permits, enjoy a relaxing break in the natural hot springs near the Modi Khola, perfect for easing tired muscles after the trek.
