The journey begins with a drive from

from Kathmandu. A 10-mintue cable car ride

will take us to the historic Manakamana Temple

(1315m) which was built in the 17th century.

The temple draws pilgrims as well as tourists

from Nepal and countries from across the

world. The trek begins after lunch at

Manakamana Bazaar. About 2 km north of

Manakamana Temple lays the temple of

Bakyaswori Mahadeva. The shrine is believed to

have spiritual power as people believe dumb

children start speaking after worshipping at the

temple. About 500m further uphill is a Siddha

Lakhan Thapa (founder of the Manakamana temple) sacred cave which also offers a magnificent view of Manaslu

Himalayan ranges. Right next to the cave is a 250 years old temple built during the reign of King Prithvi Narayan Shah.

From here, the trek descends to Tinmane Bhanjyang. The village also offers home stay facility. The day’s trek

concludes at Pipalchap village in Ghairung VDC. As no lodging is available in the area, the village offers home stay

facility for visitors.

Day 2: Trek Ghairung-Gorkha Bazaar (1,060m) -5 to 6 hrs

From Ghairung, the trek progresses toward the historic place called Bungkot – the birthplace of Nepal’s first martyr

Lakhan Thapa. Apart from the historical attraction, another attraction in the village is the Lakhan Thapa Memorial

Park. The park houses a bust of martyr Lakhan Thapa. It also has historical artifacts like swords of Lakhan Thapa and a

stone spout. Locals are preserving these historical attractions on their own without expected external assistance.

Magars are the dominant population in this

village. Bungkot offers home stay facility and

serve good food using locally grown organic

products. An easy walk of about 1.5 hrs from

Bungkot, takes us to Gorkha Bazaar – the district

headquarters of Gorkha district. Here, visitors

have several options for accommodation,

ranging from star to budget hotels.

Day 03: Gorkha Bazaar Excursion day


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The day is spent by visiting interesting places in

and around Gorkha Bazaar.

a) Gorkha Palace

The historical Gorkha palace from where King

Prithvi Narayan Shah started unification of

modern Nepal lies about 1,000 ft above Gorkha

Bazaar. The palace dominates the surroundings

and is visible from all surrounding areas. It also

offers visitors with fantastic views of green

valleys and the Himalayan panorama. The palace

also rich in terms of medieval architecture.

b) Gorkhanath Cave

The cave of Gorakhnath is situated about 10

meters below the palace. The cave is believed to be the shelter of Gorakhanath Baba (a great sage) after whom the

district gets its name. The sage is believed to have been the guide of Shah Dynasty. It is because of his guidance and

blessing that the Shah dynasty could unify small principalities into modern Nepal.

c) Gorkha Museum

Gorkha Museum is situated at Gorkha bazaar. It has a wide range of artifacts and personal belongings of King Prithvi

Narayan Shah along with his 52 feet long chino (birth details). Apart from these collections, it has also on display

ancient art, sculptures, coins and several other articles of historical significance.

Day 04: Trek Gorkha Bazaar to Sirandanda (1,900m) -6 to 7 hrs

A drive of about 6 to 7 hours from Gorkha

Bazaar takes us to a village called Bhachek. The

drive is a unique experience in itself as it passes

through narrow and curvy mountain roads

overlooking the Daraundi River. An easy hike of

about an hour from Ghachek takes us to

Sirandanda. Situated at an altitude of 1900

meters, Siran Danda (which means hilltop in

Nepal) is true to its name as it sits on top of a

small hill. It is inhabited by Hyolmo people.

Major attractions in Sirandanda are:

Nagepokhari, Dudhpokhari, Bhoteodar, Chima,

Dharadi and a tea garden. It also offers a


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



magnificent view of sunrise and the Manaslu

range. The village has a rich diversity of

medicinal herbs like Nirmasi, Jedamasi, Jatamasi,

Ratounyu, Yarsagumba (Cordyceps) and Satuwa

among others. Home stay facility is available in

the village. Agriculture produce of the village is

organic potato and unprocessed tea leaves.

Despite having tremendous potential,

Sirandanda is struggling to find its place in the

country’s tourism map.

Day 05: Trek Sirandanda to Barpak (1,920m) – 6

to 7 hrs

A walk of about 1.5 hrs toward northeast from

Sirandanda takes us to Mathar village (1790m). An easy walk for about 1.5 km from Matha takes us to Ghyachowk for

our lunch. Though no hotels are available in the area, we can cask locals to prepare lunch. After a trek of around 4.5

hrs after lunch through Dewalsara, Sum River, Daraudi River, Goje and Alagang, takes us to the Barpak village (1920m).

Barpak, mostly inhabited by ex-army men, is also popular as the village of Late Capt. Gaje Ghale – the recipient of the

famous Victoria Cross medal. Gurung and Ghale people are the dominant population here. The village has all basic

amenities like round the clock electricity, Internet facility, medical service and a few hotels. Regular bus service to

Kathmandu is available from the village except during monsoon. Clustered stone-roofed houses, stone built narrow

alleys and panoramic view of Buddha Himal are the major attractions of Barpak. For accommodation, the village offers

well organized home stay facility along with standard hotels. Barpak has gained many national and international

acclaims. The village was nominated as a unique destination in Nepal for Nepal Tourism Year 2011. It has hosted a

number of prominent personalities like former

chancellor of Germany Dr Roman Herzog.

Day 06: Trek Barpak to Laprak (2,100) – 5 to 6

hrs

A walk from about five to six hours from Barpak

via Basukang – a junction that also leads to

Rupina La Pass, which is popular among Manaslu

trekkers -- takes us to the beautiful Laprak

village (2100m). The village lies in a landslide

vulnerable zone. The landslide in 1999 had

swept away houses and about 12 hectares of

cultivable land. Since then, the villagers have


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



been living in constant fear, especially during

monsoon.

Unlike other villages in Nepal, this single village

forms the entire Laprak Village Development

Committee (VDC). All nine wards of Laprak VDC

are clustered tougher in this village.

Temperature in the village is warm and cool

from April to October. The weather becomes

cold from November to March. Massive

snowfalls occur in the village during this time of

year. This typical Gurung village is also a popular

stopover for the Manaslu trekkers. There are

few hotels in the village, which is accessible from

Tatopani in the east and Gumda village in the

south. The village is the birthplace of late Iman

Singh Gurung – the first person from the Gurung community from western Nepal to summit Mt Everest. Most of the

villagers are engaged in tourism business and few of them have also earned international recognition.

Day 07: Trek Laprak to Nambai Kharka (2,700m) – 4 to 5 hrs

A moderate walk of around four hours takes us to Lambai Kharka (2700m). As the name suggests, Lambai Kharka

(Kharka means pastureland in local dialect) is an open pasture land with a few temporary houses of Laprakis (people of

Laprak) which provide them shelter during plantation and potato harvest season. Trekkers need to be self-sufficient

for food and lodging. There is no toilet facility as well. In Nambai Kharka, trekkers are advised to stick with vegetarian

diet as locals believe that trekkers will take ill if they slaughter animals.

Day 08: Trek Nambai Kharka to Tallo Thotneri

(1,560m) – 6 to 7 hrs

On this day, we woke up early and climb to the

top of Dharche Danda (3200m). Dharche Danda

– the highest point of the Lower Manaslu Trek --

offers excellent sunrise views and a breathtaking

180 degree panoramic view of more than 20

Himalayan peaks like Annapurna I, Annapurna II,

Bharatsikhar, Gangapurna, Machhapuchhre,

Lamtang, Himalchuli, Buddha Himal, Sarang


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Peak, Malkunti Peak, Babu Himal, Sringi Himal,

Ganesh I, Ganesh II and Ganesh III.

Dharche Danda holds great religious significance

among Gurung people. They offer prayer to the

hill deity to avoid natural calamities. Also no

felling of trees is allowed in the area. It is also

believed that if tourists offer prayer to the hill

deity, they will be blessed with clear visibility

and will ward off misfortune while on trek.

After enjoying sunrise and mountain views, we

descend toward another Gurung village called

Tallo Thotneri. The journey takes about seven

hours in total. Though no commercial lodging

facility is available here, there is excellent home

stay facility in the village. Villagers also showcase their traditional dances and offer local delicacies. Sita Cave and

Olajung Danda are the other attractions in and around Tallo Thotneri.

Day 09: Trek Tallo Thotneri to Gyampesal (1,130m) – 5 to 6 hrs

The trek on the ninth day progresses toward Sita Cave (1165m) that lies about 1.8 km from Tallo Thotneri. The cave,

which lies in the middle of a dense forest, holds a religious significance among Hindus and it is one of the major tourist

attractions in the area. On the day of Ram Nawami, which is celebrated on the ninth day of the bright fortnight of the

Hindu in Nepali month of Chaitra (March/April), thousands of devotees gather to pay homage to Lord Ram. Goddess

Sita, wife of Lord Ram, is believed to have stayed in the cave. The caving experience is thrilling and adventurous.

After touring the cave, we trek toward Gyampesal, the final destination of the trek. The trek takes about a few hours

from Sita Cave. Accommodation at Gyampesal is

on tent or home stay.

Day 10: Drive to Kathmandu (1,350m) -6 to 7

hrs

Daily bus service to Gorkha Bazaar is available

from Gyampesal. The drive takes around 2.5 hrs.

From Gorkha Bazaar, buses leave for Kathmandu

on regular interval. The journey takes about six

hours.
