Basantapur , Nepal.
Day 1

Basantapur is a Village Development Committee in Baitadi District in the Mahakali Zone of western Nepal. To reach here we have traveled in a local bus service it took almost 4.5 hours to reach this village the road is terrible sometimes you feel like you are in a boat traveling through the ocean. The roads are in construction process. This is a small village from where we decided to start our trek as from the previous information we gathered before we planned for this route after reaching the village we took information for the next day trek about the road and how much time it will take unfortunately recently bus services has been started in this route upto Chainpur as the road condition is a night mere but it is also an adventure. So that day we stayed in that village. On the next day we decided to take the bus service upto Chainpur and from their we will start our trek.

Gupha Pokhari is a natural pond situated at the height of 2,890 metres (9,480 ft) above the sea levels situated in Gufa VDC of Sankhuwasabha District of Nepal. This lake is also a holy pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists. The name "Gupha Pokhari", which means Cave Pond, is a new name given to this in the 20th century, by priests who were believed to meditate in the caves around the hills of this area and gave it its new name. Previously, it was called "Siddha Marga" Pokhari. Locals believe that this pond grants your wishes, similar to the Manakamana Temple in Gorkha.

Guphapokhari is one of the most popular destinations in the Tinjure Milke Jaljale Trail, which is known as the "Rhododendron capital of Nepal". This region has the highest number of Rhododendron Species, 28 out of 32 found in Nepal.[2] There are also many other flowers and plants, species of birds, species of mammal and views of Makalu, Kangchenjunga and Mt.
