After breakfast, you'll drive west along the Kathmandu-Pokhara Highway towards the village of Soti Khola. The drive passes through rural communities, small towns, green terraces, and lush hillsides. During the drive, we enjoy views of the Nepalese countryside along with the mountain sceneries. We will drive along a paved road that connects Kathmandu with Dhading Bensi, District headquarters (1050 m) of Dhading and you'll start to see views of the southern slopes of Annapurna, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, and Langtang Himal.

After early morning breakfast in Machha Khola, we'll begin our today's trek. After crossing over the bridge, we stroll through the beautiful forests of Sal, then climb a ridge over the huge rapids in the Budhi Gandaki. We then reach Khursane upon which the rocky trail weaves its way up and down, past two tropical waterfalls on a steep, rocky trail clinging to the side of a cliff. We climb further behind a rocky promontory, where the valley opens and Budhi Gandaki meanders between large gravel bars. As we descend to the sandy bed of the river, we walk on rounded stones before climbing a side ridge. We go down to the river and cross another suspension bridge to reach the town of Machha Khola. Overnight in Machha Khola.

After breakfast in Machha Khola, we'll begin our today's trek, which follows the gorge and continues up the river. The narrow trail makes some minor ups and downs and eventually crosses the Tharo Khola and reaching Khorlabesi. After a few more ups and downs, we came across a small Hotspring in Tatopani. From the hot springs, we climb another ridge, then cross Budhi Gandaki on a suspension bridge. At this point, we climb a wide, well-designed staircase, then cross a landslide and again cross a ridge towards Dobhan. After crossing a suspension bridge over the Yaru Khola, we climb the stone stairs, then descend to the river and climb again several stone steps leading to Tharo Bharyang. Crossing the west bank of Budhi Gandaki, we climb a ridge, walk along the river, and then climb the village of Jagat. Overnight in Jagat.

After breakfast in the village of Jagat, we'll make our way through various landscapes and dense sub-tropical forests, as well as small rivers and rustic villages to get to our final destination.Then we begin the trail by climbing over a rocky ridge to Salleri, and then descend to Sirdibas. The valley widens a bit as the trail continues to the Ghatta Khola river. We will continue our trail to a long suspension bridge in Philim, a large Gurung village. From here, the trail turns north just above the lowest house in the village and stays on a fairly level trail as it crosses millet fields to Ekle Bhatti. 

The route now enters a steep, uninhabited gorge where you'll descend to the grassy slopes, and then cross the Budhi Gandaki river. Trek along the west bank for a while, then cross to the east bank before we return to the west side again. The trail widens through the valley and we'll pass through bamboo forests to the Deng Khola river. Upon crossing, we'll reach the tiny village of Deng. Overnight in Deng.

After a short walk past Deng, we cross Budhi Gandaki and climb to Rana at 1910 m. From the bridge, we climb a bit to get to a path of Bhi, then we head west in the valley of Budhi Gandaki. The road also crosses forests and mani where we turn towards a corner overlooking Ghap. Even if there is another route, we take the route through the village of Prok. The village of Prok has a beautiful view of Siringi Himal. We cross the Budi Gandaki several times and find several gompas on the way. The trail follows the river upstream through dense forests. After crossing the river to an impressive place where it breaks a narrow gorge, the forest becomes less dense and the trail becomes good again. The walk continues and after a final steep climb we reach Namrung. Night in Namrung.

Namrung village is a good viewpoint for Siring and Ganesh Himal and from the village one can also see Mt. Himal Chuli in the south. We climb steadily and pass through forests and reach Lihi, a fine village with many chortens and barley terraces.

In Lho village we will be surrounded by high mountains like Himal Chuli and Peak 29 (Ngadi Chuli) to the left, Manaslu and large glaciers straight ahead, and other snow summits to the right, and at the far end stands Ganesh Himal. During the trail, we'll first climb steadily and pass through forests to reach Lihi, a fine village with many stupas and barley terraces. The trail then drops and crosses the side valley of Simnang Himal with Ganesh Himal always close by. Further along, we'll pass through the many villages before reaching Sama Village. Samagaon is famously rich for it’s sherpa culture. Today’s journey ends in Samagaon where we spend the night.

We spend the day at Samagaon both for rest and acclimatization. For those who want to explore, there's an optional day hike that explores some rich Sherpa culture. We enjoy the sight of thousands of mani stones with Buddhist texts and pictures and the Sherpa women clad in traditional clothes and ornaments. On a little hill near the Sama village is an old Gompa (Pungyen Gompa), a monastery with great views of the glacier. It is named after Manaslu, Pungyen means bracelet, a good description of the two peaks. Overnight in Samagaon.

Today, we descend to the Budhi Gandaki River, that has turned north and follow it to a bridge over a side stream. The trail to the left leads to the Manaslu Base camp. The Larkya la Trail passes several mani walls as the valley begins to widen. It is an easy trail on a shelf above the river passing the juniper and birch forests of Kermo Kharka. We drop off the shelf, cross the Budhi Gandaki on a wooden bridge and climb steeply onto a promontory between two forks of the river. From a stone arch we can view a large white kani. Finally passing through the kani we find Samdo. Overnight in Samdo.

After breakfast in Samdo, we'll pass a seasonal Tibetan market called Larke Bazaar and descend to the Budi Gandaki River.

The short walk today also leaves plenty of time for acclimatization and relaxing in the afternoon. Overnight in Dharmashala.

After a short climb, we arrive at a valley on the north side of the Larkya glaciers from where we can enjoy magnificent views of Cho Danda and Larkya Peak. During the trail we'll encounter a number of rustic villages, clear glacier lakes, beautiful valleys, and a wide range of flora and fauna, not to mention some notable snowcapped peaks. Finally, we walk across moraines of the glacier, making a gradual ascent which becomes steeper only in the last section of the pass. From the pass, there are outstanding views of Himlung Himal, Cheo Himal, Kangguru and the huge Annapurna II. It is a longer day than usual to Bimtang, but to walk into these low pastures with the evening mist coming in with Mt. Manaslu looming close by is an overwhelming experience. Overnight in Bimthang.

The reappearance voyage to Goa is nearly all downhill, tumbling 1150m for a lower and warmer night. Take time to adore the fullness of the forest and its wildlife.
