Jeep from Pokhara about 1,5 hours to the Karuwa village.

From Karuwa (1350m) approach by the jungle sherpas path through an abandoned shelter hut 1800m elev. to the glacial secret lake of Pipar Karka (old sherpas hut 3295m) 1st bivouac here, from there descend down to the creek and in the first tributary (a lot of jungle chaos), continue down to the first slope abseil in 2943m.

From Pipar Karka 1-2 hr climbing down in wild jungle chaos. It starts inconspicuously with short abseils and free descents at 2943m, R5, R8, R6, R3 and R25, a strong tributary from the left and starting serious abseil, full of wonderful abseils and very nice flow. This will bring us over four larger verticals C55, C35, C20, C15 to the main C160 Hungry Birds, (R25 + easy climbing - in the short verticals below c160m there are suitable place for 2nd bivouac, 2135m - wood for the fire), then a series of beautiful waterfalls C12, C6, C75, C10, C12, C15, R15, C65, S8, C10, C35 to the final section of great cascade C90 + C70. Drilling set + bolts necessary, important!!!
