Eventually, the trail goes down and passes some rice fields, then goes up around the town of Gurung in Labubesi. We keep climbing after a big flood, which opens up the valley and shows the Budhi Gandaki meadows between the large stone walls. We roll on a sandy riverbed, spinning around before crossing a steep slope. We also go down to the river and cross another bridge to reach Machha Khola village. We spend the night in Machha Khola.

We start our journey today by climbing a rocky hill to reach Salleri and then descend at Sirdibas. The valley slowly opens up as we continue along the route to reach Ghatta Khola. We then proceed downstream along the river to the long suspension bridge at Pilim, which is the main town of the Gurung community. The trail turns northward above the lowest house in the village and follows the same path as it crosses through the orchards to Ekle Bhatti. From here, the trail enters a large, uninhabited canyon. At this point, we descend along the grassy slopes, cross the Buddha Gandaki River, walk along the west bank for a while, then cross to the east bank and return again.

The town of Prok offers a spectacular view of the Himalayan Circuit. We continue to cross the Budi Gandaki multiple times today and meet several gompas along the way. The trail follows the river above and beyond the river, through a dense forest. After crossing the river in a beautiful place where a small gorge thunders, the forest is dense and the trail is ready again.

Day-09: Samagaon & to Pungyen gompa, Retrace Samagaon: 6 - 7 hrs. exploration

We spent the day in Samagaon relaxing and getting used to the place. Today, we learned about the rich traditions of the Sherpa people. We were excited to see thousands of statues with inscriptions and pictures of Buddhists and Sherpa women dressed in traditional clothes and wearing ornaments. Near the Sama village, on a small hill, is the ancient Gompa called Pungyen Gompa, a monastery with beautiful views of the snow-covered peaks. The name Manaslu means bracelet, which nicely describes the two peaks. The Gompa was destroyed a year after Japan's first failed attempt to climb Manaslu. The locals believe that the climb angered the gods, and when the Japanese tried again a year later, they faced strong resistance to stop them. Eventually, they succeeded in 1959. We stayed overnight in Samagaon.

Day 11:Samdo Rest Day

This is another day set aside for proper practice. There are two options for us today. The option we recommend is to go up, up the valley directly behind the village of Samdo. This increase will take us to some of the business transit to Tibet to get some good ideas about Mt. Manlulu & other Himalayan tribes include Simrang, Hiunchuli, Ngadi, Larkye Peak, Che, & Kang Guru in the background. On the way to this view, we pass many seasonal herds called doxas & see other beautiful mountain birds such as Lophophorus (Nepal's national bird), Lammergeyer, & Himalayan Griffin. Another modern route would be a trip to Gya La ('great crossing') north of Samdo, the busiest trade route to Tibet. However, this is a long walk (all day) which is why it can be a little stressful. Overnight in Samdo.

Day 12: Dharamsala/Larkya B. C. [4,460m/14, 628 ft.]: 4 - 5 hrs.

To this day, we continue our journey across the ridge, crossing the Budi Gandaki wooden bridge, & start climbing. When we cross two streams & see the Larkya Glacier around the Salka Khola valley then ascend to the stone lodge (4450 m), which is not a residence but a type of shelter called Dharmshala, also known as Larke Phedi. A short walk today also leaves a lot to be desired in the afternoon. Overnight in Dharmashala.

Day 13: Larkya la [5,160m/16, 924 ft.] - Bimthang [3720m/12, 201 ft.]: 8 - 9 hrs.

After a short hike, we reach the valley north of Larkya Glaciers where we can enjoy a beautiful view of Cho Danda & Larkya Peak. Finally, we walk through the snow moraines, making a slow climb only to the end of the earth's crust. From time immemorial, there are outstanding views of Himlung Himal, Cheo Himal, Kangguru, & the great Annapurna II. It is farther away than usual at Bimtang, but the entrance to these lowlands & the fog of night enters with Mt. Mananaslu getting close to you is an amazing experience. Overnight at Bimthang.

Day 14: Tilije [2,300m/7,544ft]: 5 - 6 hrs.

From the beach in Bimthang, we can enjoy the beautiful views of Mt. Manaslu, Lamjung Himal, Himlung Himal, & Cheo Himal. We continue down & cross the steep pasture (Sangure Kharka) followed by a bridge over Dudh Khola. We travel through the rhododendron forest & follow the trail through a small valley until we reach the heavily cultivated village of Karche, 2785 meters. We pass the fields before going up the hill. The trail exits the line with a large arc, sweeping the river bank at 2580m. A short distance beyond the city of Gho. Due to yesterday's fatigue, we can rest in Gho but better accommodation is available in Tilije, so we recommend staying in Tilije. Overnight in Tilije Village.
