Trek to Simbua Khola 3,000m. 6-7 hrs.
From Chitre, head towards Ramite Bhanjyang (3,430m.), on the steep uphill for two hours, through magnolias, rhododendron and bamboo forest, reaching Ramite which consists of a single hut, from here the path climbs to a rhododendron covered ridge, and passing towards a small pond on the right as it reaches Ramite Bhanjyang at 3,430m high. Mt. Jannu appears atop the ridge before you, from here the track leads to 150m ascend, though this area is thickly forested with rhododendron trees, you can still see Mt. Kanchenjunga, Mt. Khumbhakarna and Kabru peaks from between the trees. Final leg of today's walk is an easy descend on the gentle sloping path which continues almost to the riverbed of the Simbua Khola for the overnight camp, some time depending upon the hours of walk, availability of good campsite and the fitness of the people then continue with a short climb for a while along the left bank and then cross over to the right via wooden bridge, arriving at the level ground of Tortontan at 3,080m where there are several bivouacs caves with excellent campsites.
