Breathtaking Manaslu Base Camp Trek

Following breakfast the following morning, you will go for a full-day sightseeing trip of the Kathmandu Valley. You may see Swyambhunath, a very old temple that is essentially classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the revered Pashupatinath Temple.

Highlights of our guided trip include the largest Buddhist stupa at Boudhanath and the exquisite artwork and old architecture of Kathmandu Durbar Square, which showcase the ancient culture of Nepal.

Patan City’s historic architecture and renowned fine arts will charm you on a visit. You will have time to explore the neighborhood, eat supper, and maybe take a leisurely stroll down the well-known streets when you get back to your hotel. A traditional Nepalese dinner at the Nepali Cultural Restaurant rounds off the day.

This adventure to the Manaslu Circuit begins in Arughat, a large town within the district of Gorkha near the Buri-Gandaki River. The drive passes through farm villages and towns as it approaches Arughat. From here, take a jeep or other vehicle for a few hours on a remote road to Soti-Khola, a small rural community adjacent to the Soti-khola, for an overnight stay.

Our first day’s journey begins at Soti-Khola and continues upstream along the Buri Gandaki River, passing Nuali-khola with fantastic waterfall views before arriving at Machha-Khola for the night. Machha-Khola translates to “stream with fishes.

After Macha-Khola, travel to Khorla Beshi, a small farm town, and then follow a meandering road to Tatopani “Hot Spring,” where you can relax in a hot bath. After a delightful break, continue walking through Dovan and Yaruphant villages until you arrive at Jagat village, a medium big village with shops and stores, after over a short suspension bridge.

From Jagat, the walk leaps higher, following the Buri Gandkai River, then across small farm villages of Sidibas Bazaar, then a short ascent with a downhill to pass a bridge to touch Nagjet, then move up to Philim village, a large scattered out farm village, from Philim trek onwards through terraces of golden wheat and barley, as the climb extends a rocky ridge top and into bamboo forest area, finally ending at Dyang village for an overnight stay.

From Dyang, steadily ascend to the upper elevations along the Buri Gandaki River. Namrung is located at a higher altitude of 8,727 feet. Some elements of the mountain range can be seen from this location.

Today, we’ll reach a height of over 3000 meters. The beautiful Ganesh Himal (7,422m) and Himachali (7,863m) serve as guides for today’s expedition. Ascending towards the lovely village of Lihi, going via several passes. The scenery falls to Lho via prayer flags and stone cranes, then continues on to Shayla. As we approach Samagaon, our day stroll comes to an end.

The most important day of our trip is today. We make our way to the Manaslu Base Camp. We returned to Samagaon after exploring the Manaslu base camp. Our expedition begins on a rocky route that winds past stone cranes and steep peaks. Pilgrims frequently walk the Samagaon pathways, chanting their traditional tunes. Samagaon reaches a height of 3000 metres. You can visit the Gompa, which is bordered by stunning views of Mt.Manasulu (8,163m) and Ngadi chuli (7,871mtr).

A gompa is a Buddhist artifact from an earlier generation. We might not be able to find any more tea shops as we continue our journey higher.

Lunch should be brought with you. We return to Samagaon after our upward exploration. We cross Birendra Lake on our way down.

The morning stroll will lead you to Samdo village, which is located on the Tibet border route. For centuries, locals have traveled to Tibet to do trade. There are many Chinese goods available here. Our morning hike starts with a steady ascent through desolate, arid land with views of beautiful peaks, finally leading us to Samdo, where we’ll spend the night.

Starting early in the morning to reach the top of Larkya-la pass at 5,214 meters, the trip takes you on a long, steep ascent with stunning views of the surrounding hills and valley, including Mt. Manaslu, Larkya peak, Bouddha Himal, Himalchuli, and Peak 29. The pass’s summit ridge is draped with Buddhist prayer flags after a tough climb to the top. After a short break and some spectacular views, a long descent leads back into the lush forested area of Bimthang, where you will spend the night after a hard day of hiking.

Following a strenuous walk the day before, enjoy a leisurely stroll downward today. It starts with a gentle climb through rice fields to the little Karcha La pass, then descends through fir and rhododendron forests to Tilje.

Cross the suspension bridge across the Dudh Khola and descend through Tilje village on a beautiful stone-paved trail. The trail then ascends to Thonje village, passing through a chorten-shaped archway. Proceed to Dharapani, then Karte village. We’ll head to Tal village after crossing the Marsyandi Khola bridge.
