At first we will cross to Akhu Khola after that we will pass to Arughat through Dhading district, The journey continues along the Budhi Gandaki River and the trail is sandwiched between two gigantic hills. The route encompasses waterfalls, forests, terraced farmlands and villages. The short uphill climbing will take you to Lapubeshi eventually towards Machha Khola.

The trip then climbs further upwards along the Budhi Gandaki River Valley. The forests of the rhododendrons and pines will be on trail while the magnificent village of Pewa waits us for the overnight sleep.

Again on this day also the journey continues amidst the jungle of unique vegetations however the shape of forests starts to change. While climbing the trail you will be enlightened by the mere view of Shringi Himal. Once you have reached the Buddhists village of Ghap you will be amazed to see how the cultural differences exist in Nepal in just a day’s walk.

While hiking from Ghap we reach Namrung at first after walking around 3 hours . Namrung village  has breathtaking views of Mt. Hiunchuli, Ganesh Himal, and Singri Himal. These are the views from where breakfast is served. We take a difficult trail through a forest as we head towards Lho and arrive at Lihi. The mountain vegetation makes way to more significant Buddhism as we proceed. The area ahead of Namrung is occupied mostly by Tibetans. Before arriving at Lho village we will reach at  Lihi, which offers stunning chortens, barley-filled areas, and views of Mt. Manaslu. After reaching at Lho village, you stay the night at a hotel.

After witness the spectacular views of the Mountains the trekkers trek towards Samagaon. The Tibetan influenced villages that you see on the way have one thing in common as the village gate called Kanis. The trekking descends down and cross the Damonan River and then take uphill climbing to plateau at Syala. This place offers the breathtaking mountain views as well. The view of Mt. Manaslu, Himchuli, Ngai Chuli etc can be seen very clearly. The village is referred as Samagaon because of the monastery present in it.You can stroll around the thousands of the Mani with Buddhists scripts as well as pictures. You can explore the Birendra Lake or Pungyen Gompa. Ponder at the thousands of mani stones with Buddhist texts and pictures. We see women wearing a nice silver spoon as jewelry at Sama Gaon.. Sama Gaon, the closest village to Manaslu base camp. 

Descending to the Budhi Gandaki River, we follow the trail leading to Larkya-La passing through several Mani walls and juniper and birch forests of Kermo Kharka. We descend down across the Budhi Gandaki through a wooden bridge and climb steeply onto a headland between two forks of the river. A white Kani is visible from a stone arch which we will pass through to get to Samdo.

The journey then heads towards Dharma Sala or Larkya La Phedi. The first place trekkers reach is Samdo. The terraced farmlands, wooden bridge on Budi Gandaki River and the valleys will be passed before making towards the Dharmasala. You can have the outstanding view of the Larkya Glacier from this place. Take proper rest for the daunting trekking and crossing of the high altitude pass tomorrow.

You should be extremely careful during this time of the trekking. As it is very challenging because of the possibility of storms and windy conditions trekkers are take very early to cross the pass. The trip starts with the subtle crossing across the moraine. When trip descends to Lake it becomes rugged rough and vivid towards the steep grassy slopes on south. You will descend and cross about four frozen lakes and finally make the pass. From the tip of the pass you will be rewarded with the remarkable views of the Mountains like Himlung, Cheo, Kangguru, Menjung and others. The journey then reaches the small meadow and as you move forward it becomes large. Bimthang is the village for the day’s trek stop point.

From this beautiful village Bimtang trip continues towards the tilije along the Dudh Khola. The crossing of the wooden bridges, rhododendron forests and villages of the Gurung community make the trip thrilling experience again. The beautiful Marshyandi Valley looks larger and then the houses of the tilije area starts to appear.

Along the Prithvi Higway the journey then heads to Kathmandu. You can see the highway lifestyle of the people on the way as well.From Dharapani the adventurous jeep drive will take you to the Besisahar of Lamjung district. You will have good hotel or lodge in Besisahar for the relaxation.
