Autumn (Sept–Nov) and spring (Mar–May) for clear skies and comfortable trekking; monsoon (Jun–Aug) for the most dramatic water flow but expect heavy rain and slippery trails; winter is cooler with reduced flow but clearer air.

Mountain-foothill climate: cool to mild at lower elevations, colder higher up. Weather changes quickly—expect rain in monsoon and chilly mornings/evenings outside summer.

Located in Taplejung District (eastern Nepal). Nearest regional airstrip: Suketar (Taplejung) with small aircraft connections (flight schedules vary). Road access to the district HQ (Phungling/Taplejung) is possible though roads can be rough and seasonal. From local roadheads a short-to-moderate trek or local transport (jeep/bike) and foot trails lead to the viewpoint. Hire a local guide or arrange transport from Phungling/nearby villages for the safest and most reliable access.

Half-day to 1–2 days depending on starting point. If you plan to combine with local trekking or village stays allow 2–3 days.

Sturdy, grippy footwear (trail shoes/boots), lightweight rain jacket, warm layers for mornings/evenings, insect repellent, hat and sun protection, camera with zoom, walking stick if you use one.

Try local hill cuisine available in nearby villages and homestays (simple rice/millet-based meals, local tea). Souvenirs often include handwoven textiles, local handicrafts, and bamboo or wood items produced by local artisans. Buying from local vendors supports village livelihoods.
