Manaslu Circuit Trekking

After the early morning breakfast, we will drive towards Soti Khola via Gorkha Arughat. Arughat is the beginning point of our trek. Since the tourist's buses leaving from Kathmandu to Gorkha is inaccessible, we will either take local transport or private jeep. The trip will take 6 to 7 hours drive by a private vehicle while 8 to 9 hours by public jeep.

Through the bank of Budi GandakiRiver, we will pass via Lapubeshi up to Mache Khola. We will walk through the road way near the bank of the river. The trail is flat, and the trek is easy, however, the temperature is hot. Passing right through the fertile territory, we will reach to Lapubeshi. From there we will move towards the villages like NauliKhola, Khani Besi and at last to Mache Khola. We will spend our first night there in a small village where most of the inhabitants are Gurung and Ghale.

Early in the morning, we will head towards Jagat from Mache Khola, which is about 6-7 hours of walk. The route is mixed as some way are flat, and some are uphill while some are downhill.

We will take a short hot shower and head towards Dovan, i.e., 1 and a half hours walking. Walking, again for 45 minutes we will reach Yauraphat and Jagat from there walking 1and half hour. Before Jagat and after Yaruphat, we will cross the Cantiler bridge.

Jagat is a wide valley like territory next to Budi Gandaki. It is accompanied by local people with a small school in the middle. The following day, we will head towards restricted area directly after being checked at the check post of Jagat. Jagat is divided into two sections, i.e., upper and lower. The one right after crossing the bridge is lower Jagat from where we will hike up a little bit to reach the Upper Jagat. Upper Jagat is bigger and more congested with a narrow lane on the middle of the village and houses on either side of the trail.

Today we will trek to Deng from Jagat passing the town of Philim and heading towards Eakle Bhatti experiencing another check post. Philim is another excellent village Inhabitat by Gurung community with Japanese donated school having round rooftop. It is beautiful as it tends to be viewed from far away. Going ahead, we will arrive at the trail with y intersection where one can go to Tsum Valley from the right-hand side and left one lead to Manaslu. We will take the left-hand sideway where we will cross a bridge and navigate toward the narrow gorge right to Deng another little tiny place.

On the way, we will pass the villages like Salleri, Siridibas, Chisopani, Noeakphedi, and Pewa. We will have the view of Siringi mountain(7218m) and Ganesh Himal ranges. Likewise, we will reach at one place which is famous for growing Marijuana, and there Marijuana day is celebrated. The route is mostly gradual uphill and sometimes downhill. Due to the long walk, you may be tired, but the trek is not that difficult. About seven suspension bridges will be crossed while trekking. Overnight at Deng.

Walking for about 7 to 8 hours today we will head towards Namrung from Deng. Firstly we will walk for 1 hour and reach Rana village. After, to Behophedi 1 hour walk and then to Gap 2 hours walk. Lastly, we will arrive at Namrung walking for 3 hours. The way is abit narrow with some part uphill, some downhill and some gradually up. Before reaching to Namrung and after the last suspension bridge, we will walk straight upward through the forest. On the way the majestic view of Ganesh Himal range and Saula Himal greets us. About 6-7 suspension bridge should be crossed this day.

In comparison to the earlier day trails, today's path is one of the most excellent as we go through Sho, Lho and Shyala Village. From that point, we can see mountains on the whole side, including tremendous Manaslu. While in the way to the entrance, the landscapes are unique with old Chortens. The housing is typical and diverse with the individuals in a different dress makes the trek unique. Before coming to SamaGau, there will be one little school with enormous football before it. Notwithstanding for the individuals who are searching up for expedition then Manaslu resembles a help base camp where the majority of the individual's store gear for Manaslu Expedition.

The trail to Samagaon is Gradual uphill and straight uphill. From Namrung we will walk for 45 minutes and reach Bomja. From there walking for 45 minutes to Sho and 1 hour to Lho we will reach Syala village. Likewise, from Syala village walking continuously for 2 hours, we will reach our destination Samagaon. Right before getting to Lho we will had the opportunity to Manaslu, Manaslu North, Naike Peak or Master peak. Lho will be our lunch place where we will take some rest and have some food. In Lho we will visit the Rivung Gompa.

As we are already at the height of around 3700 m from ocean level, we will go through our first day of acclimatization. We will climb upright through Manaslu Base Camp passing through Ridge of Birendra Lake. Aerial perspective on Birendra Lake is grand, so is the view on Mighty Manaslu. Today we can see the distinctive face of Manaslu absolutely from posterior which consistently look all the more new and delicate snow on the base.

There will be two option today as the side trip one is Manaslu Base Camp and the other is Pungen Gompa. If we walk for Manaslu Base Camp, it takes 9 hours to reach, and if we go for Gompa, it will take 4 hours. From Base Camp, the glacier and Master peak can be viewed. Whereas we can also view the 360 panoramas, Glacier firmly, Mountains, Closer fall of the avalanche, Blusheeo and yak, etc. In Gompa, if the Avalanche is not seen, then we can listen to its sound falling every 15 minutes. After coming Back From one of the side trip, we can go for Birendra Lake right below Manaslu Base Camp. The lake is chilling where we can make a pile of stone.

Nearly at a similar height, Samdo is around four-hour walk from SamaGaun. The trail is all the way flat and gradual uphill we will be losing the perspective of Mount Manaslu as we make a move ahead for Samdo. Passing the route of large Chorten, we will arrive at the settlement of Samdo, another village that is like SamaGau.

Todays is the easy day of this trekking. We will walk through the bushes, wooden bridge, and Terrance land, which is impressive. After reaching to Samdo, we will meet many people who have migrated there from Tibet long ago. We can make a side trip to the village and a bit up

Not a plunge hotel, simple little stoned hotel for overnight convenience is hugely helping for traversing Larke Pass as we can't cross Larke Pass straightforwardly from Samdo. So it will be genuinely long. We will go through a night in Dharmasala and walk around to witness Larke Glacier and offer your involvement with other individual trekkers who may have cross Larke Pass from next side from Bimthang.

The route to Dharmasala is gradual uphill due to the elevation the way seem to be challenging with less oxygen. In this day we will view the Tibetan mountains from the right and Master peak, Manaslu, Manaslu North and Larke Peak on the left. Likewise, some places are slippery and narrow, so we need to careful while walking. The people here are not permanent; they have been doing the seasonal business related to tourism, and the company closes when there is offseason.

Directly after a short trip, we will reach toward the north sided valley of Larkya Glaciers. There we can see Larkya Peak, one of the celebrated climbing crests in Manaslu Trekking Route. With a perspective of Annapurna II we will enjoy the farewell to Mount Manaslu and head to Annapurna region at Bimthang. Bimthang is the beautiful village toward the finish of Manaslu Circuit Trek and the second last overnight in the confined area of Manaslu Trek.

From Dharmasala, we will walk for about 4-5 hours to reach Bhimtang. We can find Temporary tea house between Dharmasal and Larke La Pass. There is no water, so it is better to carry the water bag with you. After, we can have a view of mountains with 360 panorama. Annapurna ranges, Manaslu ranges, Larkepeak seems to be close from the left side. The Glacier lake is in the left. The path is rocky all the way.
