      DAY 2 - KATHMANDU: FREE DAY (PERMIT PROCESS)

      1. This is a free day in Kathmandu and will give us time to process your permits as Manaslu requires a special restricted area permit.
      2. Afternoon and early evening bring a final briefing and preparations for trekking.

       

      DAY 3 - KATHMANDU TO ARUGHAT TO SOTI KHOLA8 Hour Bus Ride.

      DAY 4 - SOTI KHOLA TO MACHHA KHOLA930m (6 to 7 hours hiking)

      1. It’s a journey between rivers today as we depart the Soti River and climb towards Almara.

      1. We’ll cross the Machha Khola as we leave camp, and then the Kharola Besi.

      3. The forest trails welcome us again as we walk towards Dovan, and then some raging rapids at Budhi Gandaki.
      4. The elevation is increasing quickly, and you’ll notice the landscape changing accordingly.

      1. You’ll have the chance to learn more about the people and culture of Stone Hut as we linger here for another day.
      2. The air is thin at this altitude, and a day of acclimatization is necessary to stave off altitude sickness. Rest, write, or explore the small village.

       

      DAY 11 - SAMA GOMPA TO SAMDO3690m and 4 hours hiking

      2. Finally, we walk across moraines of the glacier, making a gradual ascent which becomes steeper only in the last section of the pass.
      3. It is a longer day than usual to Bimtang, but to walk into these low pastures with the evening mist coming in with Mt. Manaslu looming close by is an overwhelming experience.
