Day 10: Samagaon to Samdo (3860 m/12,600 ft): 4-5 hrs

After a peaceful acclimatization day in Samagaon, we begin our journey to Samdo. The trail today is short and not too demanding, following a gentle path with occasional dry patches. The landscape slowly changes, vegetation becomes sparse, and the terrain takes on a rugged, almost desert-like feel.

We cross to the other side of the Budi Gandaki River and climb a terraced hill. A brief but steep 30-minute section leads us to Samdo, sitting at 3,875 meters. This small village, close to the Tibetan border, offers a glimpse into a different way of life. The houses are built strong and low, designed to endure the high-altitude conditions.

With enough time in the afternoon, we can explore the village and take in the views around us. The mountains feel closer here, and the quiet atmosphere of Samdo makes it a special stop on the way.

Leaving Samdo behind, we make our way toward Dharmashala (also known as Larke Phedi), a gradual uphill walk that takes around 4 to 5 hours. The trail is mostly level at the start, weaving through an open and barren landscape. Along the way, we pass Larkya Bazar, a once-thriving Tibetan trading point that now stands quiet, holding stories of the past.

As we continue climbing, the altitude becomes more noticeable. The scenery feels raw and remote, with wide valleys and rocky terrain. Dharmashala sits at 4,460 meters and is the final resting point before we cross the high Larkya La Pass. Facilities here are simple, basic food, lodging, and shelter from the cold winds.

Due to the altitude, some trekkers may begin to feel its effects. It’s important to rest well, stay hydrated, and be mindful of how your body is responding.

Day 12: Dharamsala to Bimthnang (3,890m/12,760ft) via Larkya La Pass (5,130 m/16,826 ft): 8-9 hrs

Today is one of the most important and demanding days of the trek. We begin early, setting out before sunrise to avoid the cold, harsh winds that usually sweep across the pass by midday. The trail ahead is rocky and steady, and it takes patience and a slow, consistent pace to gain altitude safely.

Our first ascent leads us to Cho Chanda, after which the trail becomes steeper as we make our way toward the Larkya La Pass (5,160 m). The key is to go slow, breathe deeply, and keep moving with determination. The climb is tough, but the reward is unforgettable.

From the top of the pass, the views open wide, Himlung Himal, Cheo Himal, Gyagi Kung, Kang Kuru, and even Annapurna II rise like giants on the horizon. It’s a moment to pause, reflect, and take in the power of the mountains.

The descent to Bhimthang (3,590 m) is long but scenic, with sweeping valleys, glacial landscapes, and occasional sightings of yaks grazing in the meadows. After hours of effort, the peaceful setting of Bhimthang offers rest, beauty, and a sense of deep accomplishment.

After the tough crossing of Larkya La Pass, today’s walk brings a welcome change of pace. The trail is easier and more relaxed, guiding us through a beautiful mix of forest, fields, and quiet mountain villages.

We begin with a light ascent, passing through peaceful landscapes filled with terraced fields and thick woodlands. Along the way, we walk through the settlements of Hampuk, Yak Kharka, and Kharche, each offering a glimpse into local life in the high hills.

The scenery is stunning throughout the day. Snow-covered peaks like Mount Manaslu, South Manaslu, Nemjung, and others stand tall in the distance. You’ll also spot the striking white glaciers of Ponkar and Changri, adding to the magic of the trail.

As we continue, the trail descends through alpine meadows into forests of pine and rhododendron, filling the air with the scent of the wild. This lesser-traveled path offers a peaceful and authentic experience, far from the crowds.
