Itinerary

After breakfast drive with your trekking crew starts a scenic overland ride to Balche from Kathmandu. Halfway of the ride is smooth and the other halfway ride expect to be bumpy on rugged roads. The road trails are narrow and zigzag but the surrounding vistas of landscapes and mountains complement the ride. Overnight in tent Balche.

The trek begins to Rupchet after breakfast. Walk on an ascending trail passing through the dense forest. Have lunch at Thulo Kharka and continue to trek adoring the surrounding views. Rupchet is a big pastureland field

The trek follows the very nice pastoral trekking through a very beautiful alpine forest of rhododendron, fir, juniper, golden rhododendron, and bamboo along several nice pasture fields. You must carry a picnic for the day while the water source is not available today in-between Singla Pass 4,030m. The pass is very amazing because of the wonderful views. The trail descends through a magnificent jungle trail and slowly follows an easy trail via a wide pastoral field to the big Yak pasture settlement. Spend overnight here, the Manaslu gleams incredible from here. Overnight at tent

Mt. Manaslu, holy Ganesh Himal, and Paldor Peak are day-long eye witnesses of the trek. The trail mostly goes zig-zag through beautiful forests and passes so much pastureland. The highland walking on the Meditational trail makes the trek one of the most enjoyable destinations. Finally, you will arrive at one open big barren field connected by three different directions pasang Bhanjyang.  Overnight at tent.

Trekking through the supper dupper trail to the northeast leads you to Somdang village. Somdang is the ultimate village in Tamang heritage trekking, the rough road to this village was extended so many years ago because an excavation of Zink took place in Mt. Paldore. Zinc, an excavation company could not work sustainably so it is leaving abandoned at the moment however occasional jeep drive appears still from Shyabrubesi. Follow the off-road walking and cross a small pass then descend to a big Tamang village Gatlang overnight. Overnight my tent and room,

Gatlang to Shyabrubesi is quite easy trekking along the rough road. Walking through the joyful jungle to Goljung bhanja is so amazing. From Goljung Bhanjyang we descend until we arrive at the hotel. You have free noon time and evening will be farewell dinner
