From the Pisang peak base camp we trek towards the village of Pisang. There are two routes from Pisang to Manang. We choose the one that passes through Geru via Upper Pisang as it guarantees exceptional views of Mt. Annapurna, Pisang Peak, and others.

The weather gets colder and drier as we walk near Manang. Nevertheless, we should be cheered by a short visit to Barge Monastery, Manang District’s largest monastery. Overnight at guesthouse.

From Manang village, the trail crosses a river, climbs to Tenki village above Manang, and then climbs from the Marshyangdi Valley northwest to the Jarsang Khola Valley. The trail follows this valley to the north, passing a few pastures, a forest of juniper trees as it gains elevation gradually. Close to the small village of Ghunsa, a cluster of flat mud roofs just under the trailhead, the trail continues.

Now the trail crosses meadows where horses and yaks are grazing. The trail passes an ancient old Mani wall in a pleasant meadow after crossing a small river on a wooden bridge and then reaches another small village of Yak Kharka. Overnight at guesthouse.
