Nearest airport is Biratnagar Airport, about 6 hours by road from Basantapur; the district is reached by road via Dharan and Basantapur on the Koshi Highway corridor. TMJ area treks start from Basantapur.
Autumn and spring for trekking; rhododendrons bloom roughly March-May (flowering begins mid-January at lower elevations). Hyatrung Falls has good water volume mid-April to mid-October. Winter brings snow to higher ridges like Basantapur and TMJ.
Tourist facilities around Hyatrung Falls are not well developed; carry cash and consider a local guide in the TMJ area. Gupha Pokhari, often associated with the TMJ trail, lies in Sankhuwasabha District, not Tehrathum.
