A prompt start as Dharapani is a fair old hike. And a cold one as it took time for the sun to creep over the higher mountains surrounding us. Slowly the landscape began to relent from the starkness of high altitude and some colour began to penetrate the eye and brain.

Started the day with a descent into the Machha Kola, then up via Singla, along and crazily steep down to join the classic circuit at Khorlabeshi. The days ahead would see us wedded to the Budhi Gandaki river and gorge, delights yet to come.

Earlyish start to grab a jeep down the bumpy road to Besisahar where we switched to a car for a more comfortable but still very slow trip back to KTM. As always things catch your eye as you mull a wonderful experience and promise to return for another high mountain adventure.

The schedule had us making the leap from Samagaon via Samdo directly to Dharamsala at the base of Larkye La, usually a 2 day effort. Sudip was more than happy with our acclimatisation but even so, we were off and out early to ensure a sensible finish time. Chilly start.

Some research pre-trip led us to the view that the sub-tropical early walking from Arughat might cause some suffering. Choosing Barpak, at 1,800m as our starting point, with an early way point at 2,500m, would suit us better. So, on by rough jeep road to Barpak.

Still following the Budhi Gandaki as we made our way from Ghap to Lho. Glimpses of the mountains were finally emerging as the gorge softened into a less fraught landscape.

We pressed ever deeper into the Budhi Gandaki gorge, heading for Philim via Jagat. The river was ever present and the steep gorge sides presented ‘interesting’ walking.

Sudip suggested we rise early and watch the sun rise over Manaslu. An 05.30 start had us a touch chilly but in position a short walk from our lodge. This and the next post show the progression of the rising sun.

Shovelling down muesli at 04.00 in minus temps isn’t the best start to the day. But you need calories for the uphill. A quick pack of the sac and off we went to Larkye La by head torch. Cold for sure but not extreme. 4 layers on top, Icebreaker tights under mountain trousers.

Touching down at KTM is always a thrill as visions of the journey ahead flash through your mind. The Kathmandu Guest House eases you into the Eastern way of life. A walk around The Garden Of Dreams ensures some calm amongst the hurly-burly of Thamel. And curry of course.

Beyond Chokkang, the #TsumValley widens out somewhat giving a more spacious feel. We pressed on to Nile, but found no open lodges so retreated about 0.5 of a mile to Chule.

It was just a short downhill from Lokpa to the bridge across the Budhi Gandaki where we rejoined the standard Circuit. Still the gorge continued to dominate the way but we suspected a less constricted landscape was not far away.

With Sange Sherpa otherwise engaged in Upper Mustang, Gokul Thapa had introduced us to a new guide, Sudip Risal. With Sudip came Chatur Lama, a singing, dancing human dynamo to carry the big bags. We were straight into it out of Barpak gaining height f not too steeply.

Having avoided any diplomatic incident at the head of #TsumValley, it was time to retrace our steps to Chokkang. Different views of course, so no great disappointment.

Return to Lokpa from Chokkang Paro. This of course included the second crossing of the repaired boardwalk section. Sudip was sufficiently moved to record part of this section on film, so I share it with you to give a better flavour of what was involved. Hold tight!

We pressed on up the Budhi Gandaki gorge to the point where the Circuit crosses the river and heads for higher ground. We swung NE and headed into the quieter #TsumValley. Tibetan influences predominate from here and a real sense of peace descends, like going back in time.
