Why Start Trekking at Kimche?

Kimche (1,640m) has become the preferred trailhead for hikers who want to bypass the dusty dirt roads between Nayapul and Ghandruk. Once your jeep drops you at the Kimche parking area, it is a pleasant, scenic **1-hour stone step climb** to reach the main village center of Ghandruk (1,940m), making it an easy first day of hiking.
