Welcome to Kathmandu, a city full of vibrant markets, bustling streets, colorful temples and grand pagodas. Our representative will meet you at the airport and take you to  hotel.

You can do some last minute shopping around Thamel ,we will prepare all the documents needed for peak climbing and arrange staffs.

We will take a public bus on this seven to eight hour road trip, stopping along the way for a lunch break. Tonight we will stay at Soti Khola near the river.

Our trek today traverses a mule track and ascends on a breathtaking path cut into the face of the cliff, then descends to Lapubesi (880m). Caution is required here! We then continue to Nauli Khola, crossing a suspension bridge on the way and then take the trail beside the Budi Gandaki River before reaching Machha Khola (900m).

Our route today follows the river to Khorlabesi and the tepid spring at Tatopani (meaning hot water) (930m), and then continues on the eastern bank of the Budi Gandaki River to Doban, Thulo Dunga and Yara Bagar (1370m). The trail zigzags across the river with several suspension bridges to cross before reaching the entrance gate to Manaslu Conservation Area and Jagat (1410m), with its unique flagstone village square. Permits are checked by authorities.

Above Jagat, the trail climbs to Salleri and Sirdibas before reaching Philim. The landscape becomes increasingly barren as the trail winds past several waterfalls until reaching a junction at Ekle Bhatti where the trail leads to Lokpa a village on the trail to the Tsum Valley. We then climb above the junction of the Buri Gandaki and Shar Khola Rivers and then head to Pewa and finally Deng (1860m).

Today we climb beyond the Tom (tum) Khola to Longa Chuta and then come into a captivating fir and rhododendron forest filled with birds and Langur monkeys located on the north side of the Buri Gandaki River. We then cross back to the other side of the river before reaching Namrung (2660m), an earlier customs post in the days when this was a route for transporting salt from Tibet.

The trail today leads to Shyaula (5320m) where a substantial number of buildings were damaged in the 2015 earhtquake, including the Gompa (Buddhist temple).. We continue on passing through a number of valleys and trails before arriving at the more remote village of Gompas and continue to Sama Gaun(3530) – also known as Samagaun. The town boasts of several fascinating monasteries in the village.

At these higher altitudes it is necessary to get acclimatized, for at least one day, before attempting climbs to higher altitudes. Health specialists suggest that you move about and don’t sit idly. A good way to stay active is to explore the Gompa at Pugyen(4070m), a one day hike that leaves the trail between Syaula and Sama. If time permits, it is possible for you to carry on up this valley to the rugged rocks and terrain of the Pugin glacier. Another option is a trip to the lake at Birendra Tal (3450m) or a more demanding ascent to Manaslu Base Camp (4900m). It is believed that north of Birendra Tal is Milarepa’s Cave (famous Buddha) claimed to have been used as a meditation retreat by the Buddhist saint.

Today the trail descends and heads back to the Buri Gandaki River passing the junction of Birendra Tal and Manaslu Base Camp. The valley expands before reaching Kermo Kharka and then continuing to the white Kani Gateway signaling the entrance to Samdo (3860m). If time permits we may trek to the peak above the village for impressive views of Mount Manaslu. If it is necessary to further acclimatize, there is a 6 to 7-hour trek climbing 640m to the moraine of the Fukang Glacier, where you will be rewarded with far-reaching views towards several passes used by locals to cross over into Tibet.

Again it is advisable to stay active to better prepare you for the higher altitudes. You may wander around the village of the venture to the nearby hills to take in the views.

A relatively short day sees us descending through fields prior to starting our climb towards the Larkya-La Pass, a trek offering dazzling views of Manaslu and the Syacha Glacier, and a likelihood of spotting Himalayan blue sheep on your trek to Dharamsala Larke Phedi (4460m).

Today we have a short four to five-hour walk to Larke Peak Base Camp where we will stay overnight. It is this progressive climbing in small increments that helps you to overcome altitude sickness.

Today, our journey starts as we continue on a gradual climb to reach High Camp. We will trek on steep trails and narrow rocky channels which make the walk all the more challenging.

When we arrive at High Camp, we can explore the area to acclimate to the climate. We can also practice for the climb the next day. We will learn how to use some of the climbing equipment and gear.

Early in the morning, we start the climb to the summit. We will not have to deal with the strong midday winds around the mountains this way.Once we reach the top of Larke Peak, we will be greeted by the now-familiar Himalayan air, revealing a stunning range of peaks in the Mount Manaslu and Annapurna ranges. After enjoying the joyful moment for a while, we descend back to High Camp.

It might happen that we may not reach the summit as we planned due to bad or unfavorable weather conditions. Our main target is to successfully lead you to the summit of Larke Peak. Thus, we will spare a reserve day in case of bad weather or other unwanted situations. However, if everything goes smoothly, we can use this day to trek back on leisure.

Today we descend to Bimtang, a well known trading post along the Tibetan salt route. An appealing detour leads to a trail above Bimtang to the translucent glacial lake of Pungkar Tal (4100m).

Today we descend to Dudh Khola and Soti Khola(2700m) also known as Khare, following a trail directly below the enormous Phunki Peak(6258m). We then take a trail across the ridge heading downhill to the river before reaching Gho village. At this lower altitude it is noticeable greener as we descend through cultivated fields and forests and take the trail on the north bank of the Dudh Khola before reaching Tilche (2300m) the largest village since leaving Samdo. The village is well known for its flagstone paved streets and the home of Gurung. After passing Tilche through the Kani (gateway arches) we, then cross the stream before reaching Thonje. The trail to Dharapani (1920m) requires crossing a suspension-bridge over the Marsyangdi river.

White Himalayan Adventure Treks representative will drop you off at the airport approximately 3 hours before your scheduled flight.
