Trip Summary:

Restricted to trekking groups only, this trek passes through spectacular mountain scenery and is culturally diverse. We begin in the lower Buri Gandaki valley, an area inhabited by Gurung farmers, and follow a precipitous trail that dips up and down crossing and recrossing the Buri Gandaki River. As we gain altitude and cross the main Himalayan range we enter a region of strong Tibetan influence where rice terraces give way to fields of barley and buckwheat. The summits of Manaslu and Himalchuli are never far away. Mani walls mark the start of the climb to the Larkya La, a spectacular pass marked by prayer flags that offers outstanding views of the surrounding peaks. Our descent is via the Marshyangdi Valley where we join the Annapurna Circuit trail to Besisahar. 

Trek begins with warm traditional welcome and quick safety briefing followed by comprehensive trip briefing next day, introduction to your guide and entertain last minutes questions.
