From Num to Seduwa (1,500 m), where the entrance of Makalu Barun National Park is.

From Seduwa to Tashigaon (2,100 m). In this stage the trails become steeper and less visited, crops are more difficult to grow and the architecture changes radically. At Tashigaon the wooden houses are placed on pillars that look like mushrooms and are very similar to Walser’s raccards. It is true that, in the mountains, similar problems lead to similar solutions!
