Larkya La Pass at 5213 m., this fascinating trek explores areas and
the way of life unchanged for decades and maybe, even centuries. Region
with a brilliant mountain vistas of the Ganesh and Manaslu Himal ranges
and insights into the cultures of a cross-section of ethnic Nepalese
tribes and people. The trail passes through the villages of Khani
Gaon, Setibas, Nyak, Namru and Samagaon to cross the Larkya La (5213
m.) and then joins the river valley of the Dudh Khola. From here,
the trail heads south to the Dudh Khola's confluence with the Marsyangdi

of Chamje and Nayagaon to Besisahar where you end your trek. This
is a trek that offers much more than mountains.
