Taking a bus from Koteshwor or Buspark, that goes all the way to Charikot is one of the most common ways to start this journey. The ride takes around five to six hours. From Charikot, the off-road experience starts and is about 18km from the last destination of Kalinchowk, Kuri Village. Reserve a private jeep that takes up to Kuri Village or alternatively you can hike for five or six hours through the lush green forest trails. Recently, a new cable car line has been added to reach the top of the Kalinchowk from Kuri village. If walking or off-roading isn't your thing then this can be a good option.
