      On arrival at Kathmandu airport, a representative from Sherpa Expedition & Trekking will be there to meet you and will then take you to your 3-star hotels in Thamel.

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 quite rough and bumpy going.

The trail zigzags and frequently crosses the river over suspension bridges before we come to the entrance gate to Manaslu Conservation Area and Jagat (1410m) - with its distinctive flagstone village square.
