You will face an easy uphill through Zapute, Toktok, Benkar, Chumoa to Monju– a gateway to Sagarmatha National Park. The entire hike is filled with little tea–houses and shops. You will have to fill a few formalities at the National Park entrance. This is followed by a steep drop in the trail that leads further to the long suspension bridge across the Dudh Koshi river.
