This new itinerary opens a window on to the style of trekking that pioneered the opening of
Nepals remote and spectacular lost valleys. Set to become a classic trek in the footsteps of
the Annapurnas. The trek around Manaslu isevery bit as mind-blowing as any trail in Nepal.
The peaks are stupendous: Ganesh Himal, Himalchuli, Ngadi Himal, Shringi Himal, Larkya
Peak and the east faces of Annapurna II and Lamjung. This mountain Shangri-La is truly
magnificent as the shining jewel of central Nepal.
The Kathmandu Valley
After a warm Nepali welcome and sumptuous dinner, we explore the alleys, temples and
shrines of Kathmandu. A spectacular drive takes us to the roadhead at Arughat Bazaar, in
Gorkha country. The trek follows the deep, lush semitropical gorge of the Buri Gandaki. It
is a rugged and exciting hike through isolated farming communities. We pass the hidden lost
valley of Tsum as we climb ever higher.
Into Buddhist country to Samagaon Monastery
Following a trail close to Tibet, we pass through remote, little-visited villages like Ngyak, Namru and Lho. To the east, Ganesh Himal towers high above, a brooding God of Ice. The quiet forests are left far below and Manaslu peak is stunning as we reach Samagaon. The remote Buddhist monasteries present a fascinating glimpse of a culture almost lost in Tibet.
Over Larkya La to Tal
Heading on up into wild, spectacular, pure mountain scenery, we cross the little-known Larkya La pass. A tremendous panorama of jagged, fluted peaks and tumbling glaciers dominates the summit ridge. Far below the pass are the enchanting meadows of Bhimthang, perhaps one of the most peaceful valleys in the Himalayas in which to camp. Heading down, we reach Dharapani and the classic Annapurna trail. At Tal we conclude ourtrek and head back to Kathmandu for a final glimpse of its historic temples, stupas and quaint Durbar Squares.
