This location has remained as a base area of the beautiful Mountain Machhapuchhre and in between the corridor of Seti and Mardi River.

Machhapuchhre to the north. The east & west sides of the hill are the watershed areas of Seti & Mardi river respectively.

Here one can feel complete loneliness besides enjoying the chirping & guttering sound of birds.
