A 7-8 hour's drive from Kathmandu into the western mountains takes us to Arughat via Dhadingbesi, headquarter of the Dhading district. Through the dirt road from Dhadingbesi viewing the greenery hills we reach Arughat, our trek start point. Arughat is a major town in the region and is divided in two parts with the Budhi Gandaki River flowing between them. 

We cross the bridge over Budhi Gandaki and begin our trek from the western part of Arughat., we follow the stone-paved street north through the bazaar. We pass through the hydro- electric power plant, fields of rice and millet to Mangaltar, and through forests we arrive at Shanti Bazar. The trail to Budhi Gandaki valley now becomes steeper and the trek more difficult as we cross the Arkhet Khola on a suspension bridge, passing the shops of Arkhet Bazar. Descend to a high, cascading waterfall making a long steep slog up a ridge to Kuerepani. Then from here the trail descends to Soti Khola. 

This day, the path from here at times cuts into the steep valley, which is densely forested, passing through a number of small villages tucked into the hillside, till we reach a widening of the valley, opposite the point where a large tributary stream enters the Burhi Gandaki River. The terraced cultivated fields belong to the upper village of Lapubesi. From here our path descends to the wide, sandy riverbed which follows a trail meandering below the steep, craggy valley side. We have last climb up to brings you at near villages where is some teashops and nearby we will camp for overnight. 

The trail leads to more interesting farm villages and fields as the vegetation changes slowly, after crossing bridge and heading upstream to the tiny village of Kholabesi and the hot springs at Tatopani. From here the valley sides becomes steeper, until the path becomes impassable the route then switches to the left bank of the river by way of suspension bridge. We have a short section of forest path coming to some teahouses at Dovan. Above Dovan the Buri Gandaki River flows down in an impressive torrent rapids. Beyond this steep section, the river becomes calmer, meandering across a broad gravel bed. On reaching Lauri we cross the Vana River on a suspension bridge from here leading to a climb on a high path, and then descending into open valley at place known as Yara Khola. Here, there many good camping spots depending upon the hours of walk and the condition of the trail. Our journey continues on for another hour to the village of Jagat for overnight.

Firstly we descends to a long series of stone steps to the river from here the path climbs a terraced hillside to Salleri, overlooking distance view of Sringi Himal (7187m) from this spot, the walk follows ups and down trail as we reach to the bridge over Budi Gandaki, after crossing the bridge from Ghata Khola, the path winds up towards Philim village. From here the trails climbs slowly along the hillside passing through small settlements of Aga, Lokwa. After Lokwa it’s a downhill to camp at a small place Ekle Bhati near Shiar Khola with great views looking over the valley towards Pangsing. An hour walk after Ekle Bhatti, we cross to the east side of the river. The path follows up and down in some section the trail is cut into the sheer cliff walls, after this dramatic portion the track finally improves as the walk leads to Deng village for the overnight. 

From Deng the houses and terrains completely changes into more Tibetan like from here onwards. The people here are of Tibetan origin along with their ancient culture. Villagers of this areas cultivates buck wheat, wheat, barley and potatoes as staple crops, beside this since trekking became popular around this area, spinach, carrots and cabbages are also grown. Our journey continues for another two hours on this steep sided and impressive valley, coming across Mani prayer stone and finally at Ghap village for the overnight camp which straddles the river across a short wooden bridge. There is a strong Tibetan influence at this village

We onwards the trekking is pleasantly cool as we begin to gain height and enter the alpine forest. The walk continues steeper up as the valley opens out with quite extensive pastures with more steady climb then crossing a large stream flowing down from the Lidana Glacier, with magnificent view of the snow peaks on the north Kutang Himal range with Pang Phuchin (6335m), and Saula Himal (6235m) and other unnamed peaks of over (6000m). On the southern lies the Manaslu Himal and Simang Himal range with its array of over (7000m) peaks. The walk is pleasant; with gradual uphill the altitude gains slowly as you reach at farm villages Namrung passing the fir and rhododendrons forest and overnight at camp.

This day we pass the few small villages and bring us to Lho, a large village with a lovely little monastery and numerous Chorten and Mani walls. We continue trek further with a many snow caped mountain view passing some small villages. A couple of hours further lead us to Sama Gaon village, with superb view of Mt. Manaslu. Sama Gaon, one of the biggest village of this region, the people are mostly farmers growing what they could in this harsh terrains and cold climate, like buck wheat, barley are the main crops, potatoes and few varieties of vegetables grow in this soil. The people like their ancestors descended from Tibet as early as 300 years back, the culture and their living style is very much like they predecessor. The people of this area still trade with Tibet taking 2 or 3 days to week. The border to Tibet is a day walk for the locals. It is one of the old salt trade route from Nepal to Tibet. We’ll camp at near Gompa and explore the surrounding area and visit Monastery which is a biggest one in the area. 

This day is full day rest and relax at the camp for acclimatization or you can spend the day hike up the lake, monastery or by relaxing and exploring Sama Gompa village. This is big Tibetan community. You will see fabulous view of Manasalu and stroll back to camp for overnight stay.

After acclimatization at Sama Gompa, this day's trek climbs slowly towards Samdo and beyond. Actually the walk to Samdo is not too far can be done within 3-4 hours but due to the increase in altitude and the dry air makes the walk a little slower than previous days, we need to gain the height slowly taking time and enjoying the view around as we come to the village of Samdo. From the campsite we cross a high plateau and skirt around the ridge of lateral moraine heading towards Kermo Kharka and Kermo Mamam, as the trek advance near to Samdo village we then climb a terraced hillside on the opposite bank of Budi Gandaki reaching one of the most remote permanent settlements in Nepal, at Samdo. It is quite a sizable village of some 40 houses with 200 villagers who live in this most severe condition. This is the last village before Larkya-La. Camp is made near the village. 

From Samdu the track leads to more barren areas, walk begins on the wild mountain path crossing the Gyala Khola, then ascending to the ridge where there is a ruins of a village known as Larkya Bazaar. Presumably this village once thrived on trade with Tibet over the nearby Gya-La, a trade which at present has diminished. Our walk nearing the Larkya Glacier reaching Duwang, where there is a lodge, built to serve travellers crossing the Larkya -La which lies now just ahead. 

The walk from Larkya Phedi towards the top of Larkya-La at (5135m) is gradual winding climb. We make an early morning start to prepare for the crossing of the highest pass on this trek, a short climb above the lodge, we reach the ablation valley on the north side of the Larkya Glacier with magnificent views of Cho Danda and then of Larkya Peak. Finally, we walk across the moraines of the glacier, making a gradual ascent which becomes steeper in the last section to the top of the pass. From the pass, outstanding views of Himlung, Cheo Himal, Kang Guru and Annapurna II can be seen. After a wonderful moment on the highest spot, a long descend follows over snow to reach the valley trail to Larcia. A further hour on a moraine ridge path leads to Tambuche at (3900m) and with a short distance walk from here to camp at Bhimthang a lovely place on a broad and level valley with a number of Mani walls and deserted house. 

After the long days walk to Bhimthang, the walk from here to Dharapani will be pleasant through the forest of pines, rhododendron and summer pastures with occasional view of the nearby snow peaks. From Bhimthang after crossing this high pasture, we descend the valley of the Burdin Khola to the area of the base camp of the west side of Manasalu. From a ridge we have excellent views of Manasalu to the south east and Annapurna II to the south west. Beyond a bridge over the headwaters of the Dudh Khola, we descend and follow a trail through narrow valley and into serene forest and camp on the meadows amidst the forest surrounding in perfect tranquility after 4-5hours of easy walk to near or after Karche (2785m) for the overnight. 

From here the track leads downhill through the forest passing through a small summer settlement at Goh and then after an hour or more of gradual walk, we climb through terraced fields to the Karche-La, and can see ahead a green and heavily forested valley, dropping down to the distant Marsyangdi River, after few hours of walk coming to the village of Tilje following the Dudh river downstream. We pass a number of villages, including Thonje, where there is a check post. From the Tilje, an hour climbs to cross the bridge and then coming to where the main trail of Annapurna circuit joins at Dharapani village for the overnight stop.
