Further, we climb to Lhogaon for the impressive view of Manaslu, with its double peak that is described as "a soaring monarch” with a double-edged summit towering above barley fields.
This path follows through the pine-forested Syala village, which offers the stunning view of horseshoe-shaped peaks, and we finally crash at the village of Samagaon which is located at the foot of Manaslu. Samagaon is a Buddhist religious residence which is home to many monks and nuns. After half a day trek from Samagaon, we reach the village of Samdo. Samdo is the highest village within the Budhi Gandaki depression, settled by Bhotias. This village commands a view of the valley and Pang Phuchi village with a backdrop of Tibetan border. Further moving, we get to the significant secondary vale i.e Larkha La.

From here, we trek to the meadowland of Bimtang (Bimdakhoti) where the Manaslu massif is clearly visible.
