Enjoy the sunrise in the morning and after breakfast, we will head our way back to Rongbu Temple and on to Zhangmu.

Zhangmu, also known as Kasa, lies on a mountainside 10km inland from the Friendship Bridge that spans the Bhotekoshi (the Sun Koshi) River. This small town has become a major trading post between Tibet and Nepal. The subtropical climate endows the small town with warm, humid weather and beautiful scenery throughout the year.

According to an agreement between the Chinese and Nepalese governments, people living within 30 kilometres of the border may cross the border freely. You will see hundreds of Chinese and Nepalese merchants conduct business under this agreement every day.

The town is built along a winding road that is lined with private homes, shops, restaurants and government buildings. We will stay overnight in a basic, but clean guesthouse.
