The Royal trial follows the flat route through rice fields and climbs gently up to the ridge top through Brahaman and Chhetri village and continue towards Kalikasthan (1,370m/44 94 ft). Set a camp at a ridge top nearby Kalikasthan; offering good view of Annapurna massifs including Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre.
From Kalikasthan, the trail follows the forested ridge through Thaluket Mathi Thana and then make a short climb to reach Naudanda. At Thaluket Mathi Thana, there are some teahouses where we can halt to take a cup of tea and snacks. Further continuing through ridge, we reach Lipni Village and make a steep but a quick ascend to the village of Shaklung. Shaklung is small village engulfed by magical rhododendron forest. We overnight at a camp nearby the village.
The Himalayan Panorama becomes more dramatic as the route takes us closer to Annapurna II, Lamjung, Manaslu and Hiuchuli. From Shaklung, the royal trail drops down steeply and pass several teahouse and police check-point. Here the trail splits: W trail leads to Begans Lake and E to the Narshyangdi Khola. We climb about 600m winding around the back of Hill to reach Chisapani. Chisapani offers the great Himalayan Panorama – Annapurna I, Machahapuchhre and Dhaulagiri are some name to few.
Next day, we walk all the way down to Begnas Tal.
