Walk past yak pastures along a trail parallel with the Budi Gandaki river, enjoying splendid views of Mt. Manaslu as you make your way to Samdo, a Tibetan refugee settlement with some 50-60 houses.
Day 38
The trail first descends to the Gyala Khola River, crossing the bridge before climbing again to Larkey Phedi. In between enjoy the mountain vistas, especially the views of Larkye Peak and the North Face of Mt. Manaslu.
Day 39
Hiking to the Larkye Pass is hard work, because you wake up really early in the morning to hike across a rugged path which is covered with snow during winter. More than the path, the altitude can make the hike difficult because you climb more than 1500 meters until the pass and descend back another 1500 meters.
Day 40
Today the trail drops down steeply through forests of rhododendron and pine to Tilje. From Tilje you can see an excellent view of the West Face of Mt. Manaslu if the weather is fine.
Day 41
Walk along a trail parallel with the Marsyangdi River, passing several villages and enjoying the scenery around.
Day 42

An entire day in Kathmandu for yourself. Eat as much as you want, go shopping or do nothing at all!
Day 44-45
On this day, you head to the thamel for shopping and preparation.
