It takes us around two to three hours to trek to Gumba Lungdang, where the monastery provides minimal shelter and food.
Overnight in Gumba Lundang. 

Due to the track's poor marking, your guide is essential for your excursion. The journey proceeds through the forest on a stony, vague path through the paths that ascend the valley. On a rickety wooden bridge, cross the Laudang Khola to the west side, then climb steeply up a ridge amid beautiful pine and rhododendron groves.

You can locate a pathway on the moraine wall that provides excellent vistas of mountains if you keep going past temporary yak lodges. Ganesh Himal Base Camp is reachable in 4 hours (4200m). We follow the route back to Gumba Lungdang.
