Your adventure begins as our experienced trekking guide meets you at your hotel. We embark on a scenic drive to Machhakhola in a private vehicle.

From this point onward, our journey takes an off-road turn, guiding us through breathtaking landscapes until we reach the charming village of Macchakhola, where we'll spend the night.

Today, our trek kicks off with a trail that meanders through both ascents and descents, eventually leading us to the banks of Tharo Khola river. After a river crossing, we venture onward, passing the renowned hot spring haven of Tatopani. Climbing over a ridge, we navigate yet another river crossing via a suspension bridge.

Our journey continues with a series of river crossings, where we become intimately acquainted with the Bhudhi Gandaki River's ebb and flow. As we forge ahead, the terrain gradually steepens, guiding us to our final destination for the day, the picturesque village of Jagat.

Our trek commences with an invigorating uphill climb, rewarding our efforts with the stunning views of Salleri.

Continuing our trek, we descend towards the Budhi Gandaki River, following its gentle course northward. Reaching a pivotal junction, we opt for the trail to the right, the path that will ultimately guide us to the remarkable Larkya-La Pass. The alternative route to the left leads to the Manaslu Base Camp.

The trail remains relatively forgiving as it ushers us back to the Budhi Gandaki River. However, there's a challenging ascent waiting for us before we finally arrive at Samdo, where we'll rest for the night.

Today, we set our sights on Larkya Phedi, also known as Dharmshala. Our journey involves yet another crossing of the Budhi Gandaki River, followed by a steady ascent. En route, we'll be treated to mesmerizing views of the formidable Larkya glacier.

Upon reaching Larkya Phedi, we'll have ample time to unwind and explore the surrounding area, making the most of this serene mountain retreat.

Our night will be spent in the tranquil ambiance of Larkya Phedi.

Our day begins early as we embark on a trek that leads us through a brief uphill stretch, ultimately delivering us to the northern flank of the imposing Larkya glacier. Here, we are treated to panoramic views of Cho Danda and Larkya Peak, a visual delight.

Continuing our ascent, we draw nearer to the culmination of our journey—the majestic Larkya-La Pass. This vantage point rewards us with breathtaking vistas of Annapurna II, Cheo Himal, Kangguru, and the Himlung Himal, a true feast for the eyes.

Having absorbed the awe-inspiring mountain views, we resume our trek towards the picturesque Bimtang village. The trail guides us on a gentle and gradual descent, promising a long but captivating journey.

Our nightfall brings us to the welcoming embrace of Bimtang, where we'll rest for the night.
