By crossing Khari-Khola we climb a steep hill for a few hours to arrive at a top ridge at Bupsa Danda, from where we get an exceptional view of the mountains and the surrounding landscapes. The air gets colder as we walk along the higher Khumbu areas passing through the enchanting woodland to reach Paiyun village. The Paiyun village lies in the middle of the forest. We walk along a gentle path downhill to Surkhe village with a view of Lukla on the north. From Surkhe, we will take a winding trail and arrive at Choplung. This is a point where the path from Lukla meets the main Everest Base Camp Trail.
