Journey to Dhorpatan Region
After breakfast, continue driving deeper into the mountains toward Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve. The route becomes more remote as forests thicken, air cools, and villages become sparse. By evening, you arrive near the reserve and stay in a basic lodge or camp surrounded by nature.
