Your Manaslu Expedition's second day has here, and what better way to begin the journey than with a tour of Kathmandu? As a result, we'll see some of the city's most stunning and significant locations, such as world heritage sites.
The national museum, which includes a lovely collection of portraits, exhibition spaces, and art galleries, is worth a look. We'll briefly discuss the excursion and take care of some paperwork in the evening.

We should leave the valley and formally start our adventure now. Therefore, we'll use the Prithvi Highway to get to Soti Khola after breakfast. The route is winding, so getting to the village will take nine to ten hours. The trail is challenging but rewarding.
Throughout the race, we get a stunning view of verdant fields and towering hills to cheer us on. Soti Khola, the starting location of the Manaslu expedition, is hidden away to the north of Arughat.

Starting from Soti Khola, we make our way through a bridge over the Budi Gandaki River and across rocky terrain. We'll reach a specific point and descend the river by ascending a difficult, rocky road.

As we approach Labishe, a tiny Gurung village, we begin to detect a modest elevation change. After a few miles of hiking from the picturesque village, we will arrive at Machha Khola, our last destination for the day.

We can start slowly and pick up speed later because the distance isn't that great. After leaving Machha Khola, our trail follows the Budi Gandaki's bank before ascending and descending several peaks.
The path descends to a vast area and is, therefore, simple to follow all the way to Jagat. A stunning town with a fantastic outlook can be found in the Lamjung district. As it rises above the valley, Jagat offers adventurous tourists a tranquil landscape of lofty cliffs, gorgeous mountains, and waterfalls.

After breakfast, we'll return to the track that leads to Setibas, where the sparse road unfolds attractive mani walls. We'll proceed to the stone-built homes of Ghatta Khola with a Tibetan flair.
We will then proceed on foot to Philim before descending the verdant slopes. Before reaching Deng, the path continues across the Budi Gandaki river and steadily ascends through bamboo trees. With Tibetan monasteries and prayer flags, the Gurung culture is clearly present in and around the settlement.

We'll follow the trail that includes several twists and turns after waking up to Deng's beautiful morning and eating. We will go to Namrung after reaching Ghap, a little community with a few stone homes and mani walls.
The trail is very long from here, yet it is lavish with beautiful scenery and bamboo forests. We'll go through the rhododendron-filled forest before ascending the course to Namrung. We'll spend the night at a teahouse.

We'll ascend to Samagaun on the eighth day of the Manaslu trip. We'll set out early and move slowly because the hike reaches 871 meters. Our trail goes a falling waterfall after leaving the settlement and encountering Barchham.
From here, we climb a hill to the Lihi settlement before descending once more to the Hinan River. The trail enters Numla River after passing the Sho hamlet, where it offers a pleasant picture of verdant meadows, glistening Manaslu, and Himal Chuli.
We will eventually arrive at Samagaon after traveling the level trail through lush meadows and topography for about 5 to 6 hours. Stay the night in the teahouse.

Acclimatization is a logical step after the 900-meter elevation gain above Samagaun. As a result, we'll give you a day off so that you can get used to the higher altitude and avoid becoming sick from it. We'll wander through the village and stop by Pung Gyan Gumba to make the day worthwhile.
Behind Manaslu's face is an important historical site on the eastern side. Before returning to the hamlet, you can also go up to the viewpoint of Bhimtang Lake or embark on a few additional excursions. Stay the night at Samagaun.

It's time to get serious and start walking the trail that is abruptly inclining and moving above the glacier moraine after the much-needed respite at Samagaun. A calm lake sitting at the base of a glacier, Birendra Kund, is traversed by the trail as it continues.
Visitors passing by can see a stunning reflection of Manaslu and its northern icefall in the lake's quiet water. We will move slowly and occasionally stop to regain energy because the terrain ahead is steep and exhausting.
We will meet our fellow sherpa crew member at base camp, and he or she will lead us from here to the mountain. They will handle all the preparations, including setting up the camp and preparing food. Stay the night at the center base.

The momentous day that we have all been anticipating has come to pass. On this day, we'll practice climbing the snowy trails and take our first significant step in climbing Mount Manaslu. Our sherpa crew will take care of all the laborious tasks to make the climb easier for us and more convenient.
They'll do everything from setting up camps at higher altitudes to building anchors and tying ropes. Additionally, they will take care of your meal and your mountaineering preparations. After full acclimatization at the camp, we climb upright over rocks.
We'll follow our guide's directions as we hike across snowy slopes to camp 1, then spend the next day scaling an entirely sloped ice cliff. We'll walk steadily despite the lowering temperature because ascending this part of the course demands a lot of physical stamina and strength.
Near acme you can see nearby mountains, including Ganesh Himal and Manaslu north, after ascending the hardest icefall and crevasse. We'll descend to the base camp shortly after the sightseeing, using the same route as before, because remaining too long on the peak is dangerous.

We'll climb down to the campsite once we ascended the peak. We leave this location by following the trail that leads to the glacier moraine. Retracing our steps to Samagaon, we'll do so at the speed of light. Although the view from the road is breathtaking, Manaslu, Mount Himalchuli, and Naike Peak can be seen fairly surrealistically from the village.

The route to Samdo is a destination in and of itself, a moving feast with an unequaled vista of Manaslu and enticing sceneries. From Samagaon, the course continues north along the Budhi Gandaki River. After that, it travels through the Khormo Kharka pasture, from which you can see the surrounding snow-capped mountains and mani wall in all its splendor.
The lane keeps going for another hour as it rises from the incline. After dropping into the river and crossing the bridge, it briefly ascends to Samdo. The Himalayan town of Samdo is breathtakingly gorgeous, with ancient Tibetan monasteries and a natural setting.

We leave Samdo after breakfast and descend the trail to the bridge over the Gyala River. A series of mani stones with beautiful carvings and symbolic colors are passed on the way up to Larkya Bazaar.
Alongside Manaslu's north face, the route continues to climb steeply. After nearly six hours of Trekking through breathtaking meadows and forests, we will arrive in Larkya Phedi. This neighborhood has many recently built homes. Therefore we have a beautiful lodge to stay at for the night.

The path starts with a moderate ascent along a mountain and ends at the moraine from Larkya Phedi to Bimtang. Menjung, Kang Guru, and Gyagi Kang are visible from the top of Larkya La Pass, where we'll continue up the ascending path.
After we've finished touring, we'll descend the trail via an area of snow and ice. We'll take a leisurely stroll to Bimtang after the strenuous long walk. Stay the night in the teahouse.

We have been on the Manaslu expedition for more than a month, and the journey appearsing to an end. Today, we'll make the approximately seven to eight-hour ascent from Bimtang to Dharapani.
We will descend the path from Bimtang to Hampuk via verdant pine and rhododendron forests. When we follow the pathways downhill to Dudh Khola, the track forks, and it becomes complicated.
From here, the path descends a steep cliff that has been severely damaged by landslides and leads to the chaotic settlement of Kharche. From Kharche, our footpath lowers, making it simple to walk to the far-off village of Tilije. Finally, we'll cross the Marsyangdi River Suspension Bridge to meet Dharapani, our terminal for the day.

On yet another difficult day of the Manaslu Expedition's journey, Syange comes to an end. We'll head out on foot as soon as breakfast is finished because it takes about 6 hours to get to the settlement. The trail will lead us to Dharapani, up the hill and far from the Marsyangdi river.

Following the level terrain of the valley, the trek continues to the little village of Tal. Tal offers a breathtaking view as it sits at the base of a gushing waterfall. On the way to Syange, we'll pass Chyamje, cross the river, and then walk through pine and rhododendron-filled forest.

We'll eventually reach Syange after spending about 5 to 6 hours climbing through peaks and valleys. We'll look about the settlement and the captivating waterfall nearby while idle. At Syange, we'll spend the night in a teahouse.

We've been on the Manaslu trip for more than a month and a half, and the Trekking is finally over. We'll travel 124 miles on the Prithvi Highway for a beautiful drive to the valley. The route provides an alluring view of lush hills, stunning mountains, impressive waterfalls, and hamlets.

On this day, you will get enough time to explore Kathmandu. We'll let you go around, shop, and pick up gifts for your loved ones. With so many things to do, Thamel is one of the most fun places. You can enjoy your favorite food at some of the top restaurants in the area, attend concerts, visit art galleries, and stroll through Thamel's glistening streets.

Your final day in this lovely Nepalese city. Your departure from the country will take place today, so our representatives will meet you at the airport. They'll take you to TIA and make sure you have a simple flight back.
