The Mugling Highway, which connects Kathmandu and Pokhara, leads the Kathmandu Besishahar (184km) road. The Trishuli River is followed, with views of Annapurna, Ganesh Himal, and Manaslu. We will have the opportunity to see the thrill of rafting on the Trishuli River.

After crossing Mugling, we followed the Marshyangdi River to Besisahar and then to Khudi. We begin our trip from here until we reach Bhulbhule. On the other side of the bridge, we stay overnight.

Accommodation: Overnight at a camp/lodge

We cross a suspension bridge at Ngadi and then begin a short ascent into the spectacular terraces of Bahundada, which takes about an hour. As the name implies, it is primarily populated by Brahmans.

We gradually left the civilizations in the terraces to encounter the clear vegetation of the Bamboo forest, as well as a Buddhist village occupied by Buddhist ethnic groups (Gururng, Magar, Tamang), though Hindus still dominate it. In Syange, we cross the large suspension bridge that spans the Marsyangdi River.

We leave Jagat and rise to Chyamje village by a straightforward trail. One suspension bridge is crossed. We keep walking along the mountain's ridge. The terrain is very mineral, and the gorge is tight; at the bottom, we can hear the Marsyangdi. Along the way up, we may see mullet caravans.
 
A steep climb leads us to Tal, the Buddhist community's entrance, where we can learn about Buddhist culture and see Stupas, Chortens, and prayer wheels, all of which reflect the presence of Buddhist religion.

We walk via a few suspension bridges on our way to Dharapani, a large settlement (where we set our camp).

Accommodation: Overnight at a camp/lodge

From Dharapani, gradually ascend to Bagarchap, another Tibetan settlement from which we can witness spectacular views of high summits such as Manaslu, Ngadichuli, Lamjung, and Annapurna 2.

We continue our ascent through the coniferous forest on the serpent trail (Pines of Himalayas). It's a pleasant ride through the coniferous forest (pine, fir, and cedar) with views of Manaslu and Lamjumg Himal. The first Rhododendrons (which bloom in March/April) are discovered.

 Prayer wheels and flags greet us at each hamlet entrance, along with the scent of burnt juniper incense as offerings. The glaciers are getting closer, and the temperature is dropping dramatically at night.

We carry on to Brathang, the final village before entering the Manang Valley. We entered the Manang valley, which is surrounded by the Annapurna 2,3, and 4, Gangapurna, and the Tilicho Peak, as well as the Chulu East, West, and Fareast, and the Pisang Peak, after trekking one and a half hours through the pine forest and across the suspension bridge, which takes us above 3000m. 

Accommodation: Overnight at a lodge

We begin our walk slowly in order to acclimate to the altitude. Our first ascent takes us to higher Pisang, where we will visit a Buddhist monastery. For the last time, we walk through the pine forest, the minerals, and the juniper bush.
After an hour of strenuous climbing, we arrive at Gyaru, where we eat lunch. It is yet another village where the wind creates a disturbance in the otherwise peaceful atmosphere. We have a spectacular view of the Annapurnas. 

We arrive in Ngawal, a large village with a high altitude, after 2 hours of walking along the mountain flank. 

We continue on to Manang, arriving in Braga after 2 hours of trekking, where we see a spectacular Tibetan monastery perched in the village, built on the flank of a limestone mountain. We return to Manang after our visit.

We continue up the level road to Lete, following the Kaligandaki River. The Dhaulagiri glacier and the Tukuche Peak may be seen along the way (6920m.) We may be able to glimpse the top of Annapurna 1 (8091m) after arriving at Kalopani; it is only visible from this settlement throughout the hike.

 
The route descends from Lete, passing through many Thakali villages and passing through tropical forest at low altitude. When we cross over the suspension bridges, the gorges narrow and offer us a fast impression. After lunch at Ghasa or Rupse Chahara, located at the base of a massive waterfall, we drive for an hour to Tatopani, where we can take a hot bath in a pond.

 Accommodation: Overnight at a lodge

We leave the Kaligandaki and climb in the direction of Ghorepani from Tatopani, where we have a spectacular view of the Nilgiris. The climb is rewarded with a panoramic vista of the Dhaulagiri mountain and the Annapurnas. We are in the midst of a new culture and terrace, which we create shady in the spectacular Rhododendron forest, before the end of a 1-hour climb.

 Accommodation: Overnight at a lodge

Breakfast; we climb to Poon Hill (3200m.) in 45 minutes for a spectacular sunrise on the Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, and Annapurna massifs; there are 27 summits above 6000m in all.

  
We climb for 1 hour after breakfast, then descend, spending the remainder of the day in the humid tropical forest, where we discovered water falls, Rhododendrons, and orchids. Arrive in Ghandruk, a beautiful Gururng town perched on a cliff's edge.

 Accommodation: Overnight at a lodge

Lunch on the way of Kathmandu and arrive in the afternoon in Kathmandu. 

 Accommodation: Overnight at a lodge

We go down to Birenthati, first through the mountain ridges and then along the bank of the Modi Khola River, which is lined with rice fields.  

We arrive in Nayapul after a 30-minute stroll from Birenthanti. The beginning of civilization begins here. From here, we catch a local bus to Pokhara.
