Overnight at hotel.

After descending a long series of stone steps to the river, treks climb a terraced hill to Saguleri, from where we can see the impressive Sringi Himal, 7,187m. Crossing the river again, at Gata Khola, the path splits, with the right–hand branch heading off towards the Mustang. Our route continues upstream, through a gorge section with towering walls.
We cross the river three more times in the next two hours to avoid difficult valley sides and then climb up over a further steep spur to reach the village of Deng, where we camp.

Overnight at Teahouse lodge.

The valley is still steep- sided and most impressive. We cross to the village of Lana, and start to see mani stones, a sure  sign that we are entering high country Buddhist regions. The trial mostly follows Budi Gandhaki River, crossing
suspension bridges and passing through small settlements like Bhii Phedi and Bihi. The route gradually climbs through
pine and rhododendron forests, with views of snow – capped Mountains. After crossing Budi Gandaki few times, we
arrive in Ghap Village for lunch.
From Ghap, the trial enters dense forests, often with monkeys and birds around, before ascending steadily through
stone steps and farmland. The last section of trek involves a steeper climb through a forested gorge before arriving
Namrung village, which is traditional Tibetan -style village with great views of Shiringi Himal and Ganesh Himal.

Overnight at Teahouse lodge.

From Namrung, the trail climbs gradually past terraced fields and small villages like Lihi (with chortens and barley
fields). Continue with gentle ups and downs along the Budi Gandaki River, crossing streams and walking through
forests of fir and rhododendron. We will pass Sho village, with great views of Manaslu North and Naike Peak. The
final stretch is a steady climb to Lho (Logaun), a picturesque Tibetan-style village. Lho is famous for its Ribung
Monastery and spectacular sunset/sunrise views of Manaslu.

Overnight at Teahouse lodge.

After breakfast start trek from Lho village, the trail climbs gently through pine and rhododendron forests, with stunning views of Manaslu. Pass through Shyala village (3,500m), surrounded by high peaks including Himal Chuli, Ngadi Chuli, Manaslu, and Ganesh Himal.
Instead of heading directly to Samagaun, take a detour trail that ascends southward to the beautiful Pungyen Monastery at an altitude of 4,000 m / 13,120 ft. The monastery sits on a ridge with panoramic views of Manaslu and the glacier valley—a spiritually rich and scenic spot.
After exploring, return the same way and follow the main trail toward Samagaun. The path graduallydescends across
yak pastures and glacial moraine until reaching the large Tibetan-style village of Samagaun.

Overnight at Tea house lodge.

After breakfast, start trek from Samagaun, the main trail to Samdo is fairly gentle, following the Budi Gandaki River
upstream through wide yak pastures. Before continuing, take a side tripto Birendra Lake (3,650m), a stunning
turquoise glacial lake below the Manaslu Glacier. It’s a great acclimatization stop.
After visiting the lake, return to the main trail and continue north through alpine meadows, juniper bushes, and mani
walls. The valley widens as you approach Kermo Kharka, with views of Manaslu and other peaks behind. A final
gradual climb along the ridge brings you to Samdo, a traditional Tibetan refugee village close to the Nepal–Tibet
border.

Overnight at Tea house lodge.

Spend a day in Samdu for acclimatization, which help us to prepare to go further high and sleep before we head
towards Larkey la pass. After breakfast we go on acclimatization hike towards Gya la pass, which is 5,300 m, however
we won’t climb up to summit. Depending you your fitness and health condition we can aim to reach above 4,500 m
and descend back to Samdo for lunch. Rest of the day is free.

Overnight at Tea house lodge.

After breakfast, start trek from Samdo, the trail climbs gradually through dry, barren terrain with scattered juniper
shrubs and occasional herds of yaks. You’ll cross a wooden bridge over a stream and follow a gentle ascent along the
Larke Khola Valley. The path continues with sweeping views of Samdo Peak, Dharamsala Peak, and Larke Glacier.
After about 2–3 hours of gradual climbing, you’ll reach the stone huts at Dharmashala (Larke Phedi), a basic rest
point before the big pass.

Overnight at Tea house lodge.

Note: Dharmashala has very basic facilities (shared dorms, limited food), so most trekkers rest early here to prepare
for the long crossing of Larke Pass (5,106m) the next day.

Today is a big day of Manaslu Circuit as we cross over Larkya la pass (5,160 m / 16,928 ft.). There is a risk of weather
change quickly so we suggest to start very early around 3 or 4 Am. The trail ascends gradually over rocky moraine and
grassy slopes, with views of Cho Danda and Larke Peak. Progress can be slow due to altitude and cold. From here a
steeper climb on a rough, glacial path with cairns marking the route on the way we cross several frozen/glacial
sections depending on the season.
After 5~6 hours from Dharmashala, you reach the prayer flags and signboard at Larke La Pass at an altitude of (5,160
m /16,928 ft.) which offer panoramic views include Himlung Himal (7,125m /23,373ft), Cheo Himal (6,820 m/ 22,370
ft), Kang Guru (6,981 m/ 22,898ft), and Annapurna II (7,939 m/ 26,041ft)
After short stop, we start a very long and steep descend at first over moraine and scree slopes. Later, the trail
becomes more gradual, passing through yak pastures alpine valleys. Later, the trial becomes more gradual, passing
through yak pastures and alpine valleys. After 4~5 hours of descend, we arrive at the green meadow of Bhimthang at
an altitude of (3,590 m /11,775 ft.), a beautiful resting place surrounded by snow peaks.
Overnight at Teahouse lodge.

Descends through pine and rhododendron forests to Hompuk and down to a fork of the Dudh Khola, continue to Gho.

Marshyangdi valley looms larger. Finally the houses of Dharapani become visible. At the village of Thonje, we go
through a police check point, and then continue to Dharapani for lunch. After lunch get into the waiting jeep/s and
drive to Kathmandu.
