    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: Arrival At The Tribhuwan International Airport In Kathmandu & Transfer To Hotel.

      Day 2: Drive From Kathmandu To Sotikhola (710M) 7-8 Hours.

      This morning your guide will pick you up at around 5:30 am from your hotel. We then head on a road trip to Soti Khola. For the first four hours the road is sealed up to Dhading Bensi, the district headquarters of Dhading (1050m). From Dhading the road to Arughat is unsealed and quite bumpy. We will then drive for another hour and a half until we come to Soti Khola where we will stay the night at a guesthouse.

      Today we follow a mule track and ascend on an extraordinary path cut into the face of the cliff and then descend to Lapubesi Village (880m). We need to be careful and exercise caution on this stretch of the trail. We then head to Nauli Khola, cross a suspension bridge and then follow the trail next to the Budi Gandaki River before coming to Machha Khola (900m), a place where many trekkers were stranded after the earthquake in 2015 and had to be rescued, We will stay at a guesthouse here tonight.

      Today we follow the trail alongside the river to Khorlabesi and the hot spring at Tatopani (meaning hot water) (930m), and then trek along the eastern bank of the Budi Gandaki River to Doban, Thulo Dunga and Yara Bagar (1370m). The trail zigzags and repeatedly crosses the river over suspension bridges before we come to the entrance gate to Manaslu Conservation Area and Jagat (1410m) - with its characteristic flagstone village square. We will check that this route is passable, and may decide to take an alternative route along a higher path on the east side of the river before descending to the old trail near Doban. We will stay overnight at Jagat.

    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      The trail begins as we head up to Salleri and Sirdibas before arriving at Philim. The terrain becomes gradually more barren as the trail passes several waterfalls until we reach a crossroad at Ekle Bhatti where the trail leads to Lokpa - a village on the trail to the Tsum Valley. We then follow the trail above the junction of the Buri Gandaki and Shar Khola Rivers and continue on to Pewa and Deng (1860m) where we will stay the night.

      Today the trail takes us above the Tom Khola (river) to Longa Chuta before passing through a delightful fir and rhododendron forest filled with birds and Langur monkeys on the north side of the Buri Gandaki River. We then cross over to the other side of the river before arriving at Namrung (2660m) that was previously a customs post in the days when this was a route frequently used for transporting salt from Tibet. Namrung is yet another village that suffered widespread damage from the 2015 earthquake, but today it has been rebuilt.

  • Day 7 Day 7: Namrung To Samagaon, (3,530M) 6-7 Hours.
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Today we will walk past a long Mani stone wall in the village of Lho and have a startling view of Peak 29 in front of us. We will take a minor detour to the Pungen Glacier for an up-close view of the conspicuous Mt. Manaslu. We will stay in Samagaun at guesthouse overnight.

  • Day 8 Day 8: Acclimatization Day At Samagaon.
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 8: Acclimatization Day At Samagaon.

      Before we head higher we need to acclimatize. Health professionals strongly suggest that you stay active and not just sit idle. Today we will go to the Gompa at Pugyen (4070m), a one day trek that leaves the trail between the villages of Syaula and Sama. We may also head up this valley to the rugged terrain at the Pugin Glacier. Another option is a trek to Birendra Tal (lake - 3450m) and then a physically tough climb up to Manaslu Base Camp (4900m). It is said that to the north of Birendra Tal is Milarepaโ€™s Cave (famous Buddha sage) that he used as a meditation retreat.

  • Day 9 Day 9: Samagaon To To Samdo (3,860M) 4- 5 Hours.
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 9: Samagaon To To Samdo (3,860M) 4- 5 Hours.

      The trail today initially ascends and heads back to the Buri Gandaki River and passes the crossroads of Birendra Tal and Manaslu Base Camp. The valley then broadens before coming to Kermo Khadka and then to the white Kani Gateway - the entrance to Samdo (3860m). If we have enough time we will trek to the peak above the village for remarkable views of Mt. Manaslu. If it is necessary to further acclimatize there is a 6 to 7 hour trek of 640 meters up to the moraine of the Fukang Glacier where you will have panoramic views to several passes that locals use to cross into Tibet.

  • Day 10 Day 10: Samdo To Dharamsala. (4,460M) 4-5 Hours.
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 10: Samdo To Dharamsala. (4,460M) 4-5 Hours.

      This morning we begin our climb to Larkya La Pass, a trail that offers grand views of Manaslu and the Syacha Glacier. It is likely you will see Himalayan blue sheep on the trail leading to Dharamsala (4480m). This is as high as we go today without risking altitude sickness. This is also the last safe haven before the pass. This section of the trek is often subject to snowfall between mid - December to mid - March, when snow frequently prevents passage through Larkya La Pass. Samdo Lodge is generally closed in winter months. Your guide will be informed earlier if the lodge is closed. 

  • Day 11 Day 11: Cross Larkya La (5,160M) To Bimtang (3,720M) 8-9 Hours.
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 11: Cross Larkya La (5,160M) To Bimtang (3,720M) 8-9 Hours.

      This morning we have a short climb to the north side of Larkya Glacier from where we have outstanding views of Cho Danda and Larkya Peak. The climb to the Larkya La Pass begins with a gradual ascent but then becomes steeper as we get nearer to the pass. At the top of the pass we have surprising panoramic views of several mountain ranges. The descent from the pass is also hard on the legs. Our next stop is at Bhimthang where we camp overnight in a tent.

  • Day 12 Day 12: Bhimthang To Trek To Tilije (2,300M) 5-6 Hours.
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Today we follow a ridge along a beautiful trail in alpine meadows, cross the Dudh Khola (river) and walk through rhododendron forest before coming to the village of Gho. The next stop is Tilije where we will stay at a guesthouse overnight.

  • Day 13 Day 13: Tilije To Tal (1700M) 5-6 Hours.
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm
