The village is small with less than ten houses and has terraced fields on both side of the tributary which flows down to the Nam Khong valley. The economy is based on agriculture, animal husbandary and trade. To know, there can be grown only one crop a year i.e. barley, due to its cold climate.

After breakfast, we begin our walk to the Tarap Khola site. There are multiple trails to reach there. We descend towards a valley from the quite bare country around Tarap. The part narrows when we reach a gorge and follow the bushy area of wild roses and juniper. You might see the herds of blue sheep. We reach the confluence of Lang Khola and Tarap Chu. We set our campsite in Kamakharka (3800m.) on a fine meadow for an overnight stay.

On this day, we trek down to the gorge of the Tarap River. the trip is exciting for today! We walk alongside the river rising high above on a trail. You can come across the shepherds from Dolpo taking their herds of sheep to the pasture land. Later, the valley becomes so narrow in a deep gorge that in some places we can jump from one side to another. The trail is really adventurous as sometimes there does not seem any sign of a path and we have to walk on stone slabs set on logs as bridges. In some places, the bridges are either damaged or washed away so you are forced to cross the river on foot. We reach Khanigaon situated beside the Tarap Khola and set our camp there for an overnight stay.

On this day we follow the trail through Lalberi village. We pass through a forest descend into a gorge and follow the river. Our trek is adventurous to reach Tarakot.

Sandul Gompa lies 8 km away in the east. We set camp by the river below Tarakot or we climb a steep hill to the small village on the other side of the valley. The area is with chörtens and Gompa on the edge of a grassy plain where we set our camp for tonight.

The trail of the trek follows along the river side of Bheri River. The path is not very easy as we reach to gorge in a pine forest. We walk the way built over 7 meters above the river which may freeze your blood with fear. We reach Dunai (2140m.) after completing our trekking circuit.
