After early breakfast, you drive to Dhanding Besi, the district headquarter of Dhading. The road is smooth and well-paved. You will see scenic views and the Trishuli River along the journey. From Dhanding Besi, the road split toward Arughat Bazaar. The onward journey is dusty and bumpy. You will pass through rural communities, small towns, green terraces, and lush hillsides. You see beautiful landscapes with views of Annapurna, Manaslu, Ganesh, and Langtang Himal. You reach Machha Khola via Soti Khola, a major town on the bank of the Budhi Gandaki River. Soti Khola is an hour’s drive from Arughat.
