Drive to Machha Khola from Kathmandu via Soti Khola by Private Tourist vehicle

Machhakhola - After the morning breakfast, we leave for Machha Khola, the starting point of our trek. From Kathmandu to Dhading Besi is a 3 to 4-hour comfortable drive on a concrete paved road. After this is a bumpy and winding dirt road to Machha Khola which takes from 5 to 7 hours depending on the traffic and road condition. The total drive for the day will approximately be 8 to 10 hours. The road to Machha Khola from Soti Khola was recently constructed and it isn’t paved in concrete. We will be sending a private 4WD vehicle for you and assigning an experienced driver.

Trek to Jagat from Machha Khola

Jagat - After crossing Machha River and Khrola Besi, there is a hot spring called Tatopani. The trail follows a forest reaching Dovan, below which flows the massive Budi Gandaki. As the elevation increases, the rapids and the scenery undergoes a complete transformation.

Exploring the Manaslu Circuit offers a rare chance to discover a relatively untouched area of Nepal. With fewer trekkers visiting, the experience here is more exclusive and pristine. Opened for trekking in 1991, Manaslu showcases breathtaking beauty along the Nepal-Tibet border. It is now a regulated trekking route, requiring organized groups to obtain special permits to explore the stunning Manaslu Circuit.

Manaslu boasts a distinctive environment rich in biodiversity, making it a premier tourist destination. The majestic Himalayan ranges in this region feature cultural diversity and natural beauty, including glacier lakes and captivating flora and fauna. These attributes make it one of Nepal’s most appealing locations. The trekking path is less crowded and offers essential amenities for trekkers.
