Trek Overview
The route commonly starts with a road transfer from Kathmandu toward Machha Khola or nearby trailheads in the Gorkha side.
- › It follows the Budhi Gandaki valley through villages such as Jagat, Deng, Namrung, Sama Gaun, Samdo, and Dharamsala before crossing Larkya La.
- › Manaslu is more remote and logistics-heavy than ABC or Langtang, so guide, permit, and safety planning matter.
