Hidden villages & the cultural heart of Manaslu

The journey begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Sotikhola. The walking trail then follows riverbanks and terraced hills through Machhakhola, Jagat and Philim while gradually entering the remote upper valley.

As the route climbs toward Lho and Sama Gaon, the Manaslu range dominates the skyline. An acclimatization day offers time to experience village life, visit Pungyen Gompa or hike toward Manaslu Base Camp.

Beyond Samdo and Dharmasala, an early start leads across Larkya La at 5,160 metres before descending to Bimthang. The trail then continues through Dharapani and Besi Sahar before returning to Kathmandu by road.
