This isn't just a trek — it's a rare journey into one of Nepal’s last untouched wilderness areas. We offers more than just mountain views; it’s an immersive experience deep into Sherpa and Rai culture, pristine valleys, and the raw power of the Himalayas. We focus on authentic adventure, eco-conscious travel, and real human connection — no crowds, no fluff, just the real Himalayas.
Guides are locals who know the trails by heart, not just GPS. We handcraft each itinerary to balance comfort with challenge, nature with culture. While others follow the usual routes, we take you where few dare to go — closer to nature, deeper into tradition, and higher into the mountains.
You don’t just trek. You experience.
This is what makes our trek unforgettable.

Day 1: Drive from Kathmandu to Machha Khola (870m) We begin our journey early with a scenic drive from the bustling city of Kathmandu towards the peaceful village of Machha Khola. The road winds through green hills, rivers, and terraced fields. By evening, we reach the banks of the Budi Gandaki River, where Machha Khola welcomes us with warm village hospitality.
Day 2: Trek to Jagat (1,340m) Following the Budi Gandaki upstream, today’s trail offers waterfalls, hot springs, and deep river gorges. We cross a suspension bridge and pass through Tatopani before climbing up to the stone-paved village of Jagat — a checkpoint entry to the Manaslu Conservation Area.
Day 3: Trek to Deng (1,860m) The trail narrows as we walk through beautiful forests and small Gurung settlements. We pass villages like Salleri and Philim, known for their rich cultural mix and traditional houses. By afternoon, we reach Deng — a village that marks our entry into a more remote and culturally Tibetan landscape.
Day 4: Trek to Namrung (2,630m) As we ascend, the landscape changes dramatically. We trek through dense pine and rhododendron forests, catching our first glimpses of the snow-capped mountains. The path winds through mani walls and prayer flags before arriving at Namrung, a quiet village with stunning views of Ganesh Himal and Siringi Himal.
Day 5: Trek to Lho (3,180m) Today, we gradually enter the Nubri region, home to Tibetan-influenced culture and language. The trail passes through Sho and leads us to the beautiful village of Lho, where the majestic Mount Manaslu (8,163m) dominates the skyline. Don’t miss the impressive Ribung Gompa here.
Day 6: Trek to Samagaon (3,530m) The trail to Samagaon is filled with cultural and natural beauty. We pass chortens, mani stones, and alpine fields. Upon reaching Samagaon, we are surrounded by towering peaks and ancient monasteries. This is one of the most picturesque settlements in the region — a perfect place to rest and explore.
Day 7: Acclimatization Day at Samagaon – Hike to Pungyen Gompa (4,050m) To adjust to the altitude, we take a rest day with an optional hike to Pungyen Gompa. This hidden monastery offers incredible views of Manaslu and the glaciers. We return to Samagaon in the afternoon to relax and soak in the spiritual atmosphere of the village.
Day 8: Trek to Samdo (3,860m) We follow the valley northwards, passing yak pastures and crossing wooden bridges. The landscape becomes more barren, and the air thinner. Samdo, a small village just a few kilometers from the Tibetan border, is home to a fascinating blend of trade culture and mountain life.
Day 9: Day Hike to Manaslu Base Camp (4,800m) and Return to Samdo This is the big day. We start early with a challenging but rewarding hike to Manaslu Base Camp. The trail climbs above the tree line, offering stunning views of Manaslu, glaciers, and icefalls. After spending time at the base camp, we descend back to Samdo for a well-earned rest.
Day 10: Trek to Dharamsala (4,460m) Today we prepare for the pass crossing. The trail to Dharamsala (also known as Larkya Phedi) is steep but scenic, with views of Larkya Glacier. We reach the base camp early and rest to prepare for the next day's big adventure.
Day 11: Cross Larkya La Pass (5,160m) and Trek to Bimthang (3,590m) We start before sunrise to cross the stunning Larkya La Pass — the highest point of our trek. The pass offers breathtaking views of Himlung Himal, Kang Guru, and Annapurna II. After celebrating the summit, we descend to the alpine meadow of Bimthang, surrounded by snowy peaks.
Day 12: Trek to Dharapani (1,960m) The trail descends through rhododendron forests, rivers, and charming Gurung villages. As we lose altitude, the air gets warmer and the scenery more vibrant. We reach Dharapani, a gateway to the Annapurna region, where we rest and reflect on the journey behind us.
Day 13: Drive to Kathmandu/Pokhara via Besisahar We leave the mountains behind and drive through lush hills and villages back to Kathmandu or Pokhara. As we return to the city, we carry the memories of sacred mountains, remote valleys, and quiet spiritual moments of the Manaslu region.
