01 — The trip

Two days.
One ridge.
One sunrise.

This is an informal overnight trip to Krapu Danda that we are facilitating. There is no participation fee — everyone pays their own expenses directly: bus, meals, tent stay and so on.

We start early from Kahu Khola Bus Park and take a 3-hour bus ride to Tangting village (1,650 m). After exploring the village and having lunch at Surya Guest House, we hike for about 5 hours to Krapu Danda (2,950 m), where we stay overnight in tents at Midnight Campers. In the evening we spend time together — conversation, music and singing.

Early next morning we hike 30 minutes to the vantage point (3,050 m) for sunrise. Then we descend to Yangjakot village (1,500 m) in about 3 hours, have a meal there, and take the 1:00 PM bus back to Pokhara.

No fee, no rush — just a ridge-top camp, good company, and a sunrise shared together.
