Drive from Biratnagar north via the Koshi Highway to Ghurmi, then west along the Okhaldhunga feeder road to the trailhead (160 km, ~5 hrs). A 1.5-hour forest hike leads to Pokali Waterfall — a multi-tier cascade dropping through a mossy gorge in a district that sees almost no tourist traffic. Overnight in Okhaldhunga bazaar (1,750 m), visit the falls in the morning, and return to Biratnagar on day two. The route passes through the Solu foothills and offers views toward the Makalu–Barun region.
