The trek start from Arughat Ghattekhala via lush rhododendron forest. This places are mostly populated by Brahmin and Chhatris.
We move forwards to high lands enjoying fabulous mountain views, occasional view of Annapurna is a bonus. We follow the ancient salt trading route along Budigandaki. We come close to the Buddhist community with their living styles influenced by Tibetan culture. The artistic monasteries, Chortens and prayer flags whirling in the trail gives us the feeling of ancient Buddhist beliefs. We walk through Sama Gompa and Dharmasala make our final preparation to cross Larkya La Pass. Towering Mamanaslu peak bids farewell and we ascend to DHarapani and finally reach Besishar.
