The Panchase trek can be extended in several ways. From Panchase hill it is
possible to trek through the large Gurung village of Arthor and continues on to
Karkinetta. Here some very basic accommodation may find. There are two choices
to conclude the trek, one can to trek via Kusma, on the Baglung highway in one
