Today we have an option of either a full day or a half day trek.

      Today is another acclimatization day and in a village, as quaint as Samdo it is an enjoyable experience. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and ideal for a short trek to Samdo Peak to help you better acclimatize. It is also not far from the Tibetan border (5,100m) which is also an ideal trek. Heading along the trail to the border, a 10-hour return trek, you will have some amazing views of Mt. Manaslu as well as Simrang, Hiunchuli, Ngadi, Larkya Peak, Cheo, and Kang Guru. It is likely that on the trail you will see Nepalโ€™s national bird โ€“ the pheasant.

We first must climb to Cho Chanda and then will continue up to the steep snow-covered pass. The views of many surrounding peaks are truly phenomenal. The Himalayan mountains of Himlung Himal (7126m), Cheo Himal (6820m), Gyaji Kung (7030m), Kang Koru (698m) and Annapurna II (7937m) are clearly visible from the pass.
