On a little hill near the Sama village, there  is an old Gompa (Pungyen Gompa), a monastery with great views of the glacier. It is named after Manaslu Pungyen which  means bracelet, a good description of the two peaks. It was destroyed a year after the first unsuccessful Japanese attempt to climb Manaslu. The locals believed that the climb angered the gods, and when the Japanese came back a year later they met with a lot of resistance that they had to give up their attempt.

Finally passing through the kani we find Samdo. Overnight in Samdo.(Breakfast/ Lunch/ Dinner)

  • Day 11: Rest Day in Samdo

    This is another day set aside for proper acclimatization. There are two options for us for the day spend  first  option that we highly recommend is a hike, up the valley directly at the back of the Samdo village. This hike will take us to one of the trade passes to Tibet for excellent views of Mt. Manaslu along with other Himalayan ranges including Simrang, Hiunchuli, Ngadi, Larkye Peak, Cheo and possibly Kang Guru behind the pass.  En route e can see  some beautiful mountain birds like the Lophophorus (the national bird of Nepal), Lammergeyer and Himalayan Griffin soaring high above us. Another option for today could be a trip to the Gya La (‘large pass’) to the north of Samdo, a more frequently used trading route to Tibet. But, this is a rather longer hike (whole day) and hence  it could be a little tiring. Overnight at Samdo.(Breakfast/ Lunch/ Dinner)

  • Day 12 : Samdo – Dharamsala/Larkya Base Camp (4460m, 4 – 5 hours)

    Today our trial descends till the Budi Ghandaki . Cross the wooden bridge over Budi Gandaki and begin walking upward.

The short walk today also leaves plenty of time for acclimatization and relaxing in the afternoon. Overnight at Dharmashala. .(Breakfast/ Lunch/ Dinner)

  • Day 13:Dharamsala – Larkya la – Bimthang (3720m, 8 – 9 hours)

    After a short climb, we reach a valley on the north side of the Larkya Glaciers from where we can enjoy great views of Cho Danda and Larkya Peak. 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 at Bimthang.(Breakfast /Lunch/ Dinner)

  • Day 14: Bimthang – Tilije (2300m, 5 – 6 hours)

    From a ridge at Bimthang, we can enjoy great views of Mt. Manaslu, Lamjung Himal, Himlung Himal and Cheo Himal. We descend further and cross a high pasture (Sangure Kharka) followed by a bridge over Dudh Khola. We walk through rhododendron forest and follow a trail through a narrow valley until we reach the highest cultivated land of the valley at Karche, 2785 meters. We pass across fields before making a steep climb over a ridge. The trail comes off the ridge in a big, sweeping arc to the river bank at 2580m. A short distance beyond is the village of Gho. Due to yesterday’s tiredness we might take an overnight rest at Gho but better lodges are available at Tilije, so Himalayan Glacier recommends we stay at Tilije. Overnight in Tilije Village.(Breakfast /Lunch /Dinner)

  • Day 15:  Tilije – Tal [1700m, 5 – 6 hours

    We climb over a small ridge and enjoy the stone paved trail as it passes through a beautiful village.

At the village, we go through a police checkpoint and continue to Dharapani. From this point we will  entered the Annapurna circuit section . Further down, we come across Karte village and after quite a bit of walking we cross a bridge over Marshyangdi Khola. Then we  come across some mani walls before reaching the village of Tal, situated at the foot of a large waterfall. Overnight in Tal.(Breakfast/ Lunch/ Dinner)

  • Day 16:  Tal – Syange (1080m, 6 – 7 hours)

    We follow the trail to Chyamje village crossing the Marshyangdi Khola once again. The Marsyandi valley opens with its terrace fields and villages bond very high to the hillsides. The trail then descends through rhododendron and  pine forests to Syange. Overnight at  Syange.(Breakfast /Lunch /Dinner)

  • Day 17: Syange – Kathmandu(8-9 hours)

    The drive from Syange to Kathmandu via Besi Sahar offers an opportunity to enjoy both hill and mountain landscapes. The drive is often along the banks of the Marsyangdi and Trishuli rivers. We also drive by some beautiful villages with farming terraces on both sides of the road. In Kathmandu, we will be escorted to our hotel. The day in Kathmandu can either be spent in leisure or perhaps we catch up with some last minute shopping.
