The trail drops steeply down stone steps toward the Modi Khola, crosses a suspension bridge and climbs back into thick forest.

A quieter, more enclosed section of the valley: bamboo forest, waterfalls and steep cliffs overhead. The climb is steady with regular teahouse stops.

Bamboo is a peaceful settlement tucked deep within the forested valley.

Tip: The valley becomes more humid and shaded — keep a rain jacket handy even if the morning begins clear.
