As always, after having breakfast at lodge, you’ll continue up the canyon. You pass by several farmhouses and watch the people in your daily work on the terraced -like fields. On the roofs of the houses are for dry chillies and ripe tomatoes. Also along the way are small mills which grind Zampa or other cereals. Women with their traditional clothes and with much colorful jewelry can be witnesses in this area. Also, prayer wheels and large Mani walls now line the road. In Ghap you will take lunch. The road from Ghap is again forested and you run the last 400 meters to Namrung by a subtropical mixed forest. The first snowy five and six thousand can be admired in the distance.                                                                       

After breakfast at lodge, today you’ll trek to Samagaon. You’ll first walk on the road up until you come to a plateau. Here farming is done on larger areas. On a somewhat exposed position, a tea house overlooks the valley and can, if you're lucky observed at the opposite mountain range in the sun soarende golden eagle.

Once on the plateau, it goes first through another village, and then you will see from the hill Samagaun. Now we relax at the village school and a great place over in the very quaint -looking village. They go through the old part of the town and reach your lodge.                         

After long days trek and high elevation, you need to rest, today is free to rest and acclimatize day at Sama Gaon. You walk a lonely way up to Pungyen Gompa (4000m) to gain some altitude. The trail is steep at the beginning, but is then tempered and can be reached after three hours of walking another high valley that leads to the mountain foot of Manaslu. At the end of the valley is a very pretty little lonely monastery. With any luck, monks are in the small Gompa and show you the simple life in the small monastery. In spring and early autumn yaks grazing on the plateau and the pastures are managed by nomads. Here, open up a lot of great photo opportunities! A unique panorama opens up to you; the glacier is within reach and the Manaslu a truly impressive appearance. Now you are above 3,500m. you will feel very thin and dry air, walk slowly step by step. Here you can relax and enjoy this natural spectacle. If you have altitude problems you can use the spare day to insert another rest or acclimatization.  

After breakfast at lodge, you’ll head towards Samdo today. Today’s trek will be comparatively more interesting and pleasant. You will be crossing the pasture areas and ascending to the valley. The trail leads you to forests with juniper and birch where we enjoy the beauty of the nature.

You’ll begin walking upward of the valley. You will be noticing the Mani walls and the prayer flags hung on the route, signifying the closeness of the Larke La (or Larkya) Pass. After crossing two streams, you will witness the Larke Glacier which is unquestionably magnificent. As you enjoy the view, you’ll further trek around the valley of Salkha Khola and climb up again reaching the stone guest house (4450m). The stone guest house is not a lodge but it is a kind of shelter better known as Dharamsala or Larke La Phedi. Today’s day would be a gratifying day as we will get an amazing view of the Larke Glacier and the amazing view of mount Manaslu in a great angle. The short trek today gives us plenty of time later onwards to acclimatize and relax.                                                                               

After early morning breakfast at lodge, you’ll start today’s journey. Today’s journey will be the most exciting part of the journey as you’ll cross highest passes i.e. Larke Pass (5160m) from sea level. From Dharamsala it will take quite long day today. The weather being the most important factor, it will decide if the trek becomes more challenging as strong winds and a storm could possibly occur. As you’ll cross the moraine and then descend down to a small lake. The trail begins to be rough and unclear as you have to cross the south of steep grassy slope. The route stays on the moraine to an edge which is marked by two landmarks. The prayer flags mark that the route is visible, so that you can continue trekking. Carefully trekking, you will descend to four frozen lakes then finally climbing a steep trail to the pass. The four frozen lakes look undeniably striking. From the pass, you’ll get outstanding panoramic views of Himlung Himal, Cheo Himal, Kang Guru and the great Annapurna II. As you live in the moment and admire the beauty of the nature, the trail takes you to the top of the moraine, heading to the west and making a steep, rough bends. You’ll further cross the moraine then descend gently to another grassy moraine at 4450m. As you have descended, the trail becomes easier to walk in and then we reach a small meadow. The valley begins to widen as you near the large meadow, Mani walls and small houses that indicate you have reached Bhimthang.
