Day 1
A 5-hour bus ride takes us to the starting point of the trek: Besisahar (900m), the capital of Lamjung District. After lunch drive 2hrs to Syange, to avoid the crowded town of Besisahar. Also, it is a nice walk and a better way to experience village life in Syange (1130m) from the first day. Great mountain views!
Day 2
Also at the beginning, we will be walking on the road for about 3 hours after that we will be walking on the trail up to Tal. On the way to Tak, we can see beautiful waterfalls and beehives. Tal is the first village of the Manang district. A paradise along the Marsyandi River. We can see beautiful waterfalls from the hotel. A Buddhist shrine called Chorten is located in front of the waterfall and according to the villagers the shrine protects the villages from natural disasters. Tal means lake in Nepali. The village was once a lake, and therefore it is called Tal (1700m). Hiking hours: 6
