Overview

The Bimthang Trek – A 10-Day Adventure

The Bimthang Trek is a captivating journey through the semi-Manaslu region of Nepal, offering a spectacular 10-day adventure that does not require the special permits associated with the Manaslu Circuit. However, adventurers will still need to obtain the necessary ACAP (Annapurna Conservation Area Permit) and TIMS (Trekkers’ Information Management System) permits. The Bimthang Trek treats hikers to breathtaking green valley scenery, enchanting ice lakes, and awe-inspiring views of snow-covered mountains. Along the way, you’ll encounter the Larke La glacier and have the chance to spot a variety of wild animals, including the Himalayan Thar, langur monkeys, deer, Himalayan goats, red pandas, the national bird Danphe, and even the elusive snow leopard, making this trek all the more enticing.

The Journey Begins

The Bimthang Trek starts at Dharapani, a picturesque village that serves as the gateway to this incredible adventure. As you set out on your trek, you’ll soon find yourself crossing the Mettle Bridge over the Marsyangdi River, leaving behind the hustle and bustle of civilization. Dharapani, situated at an elevation of 2,300 meters above sea level, is steeped in history. Many centuries ago, the Gurung people migrated from Tibet (Heila Bhaga) and established their settlements in Tilje and Ghyola Sotar, making this region a rich tapestry of cultures and traditions.

Trekking to Bimthang

From Tilje, the trail ascends gradually through lush pine forests, offering a serene and peaceful hiking experience. The journey from Tilje to Bimthang takes approximately six hours on foot. Bimthang, nestled at an altitude of 3,890 meters, greets trekkers with an array of amenities. Here, you’ll find comfortable tea houses with cozy accommodations, complete with Western-style toilet facilities. The dining halls are adorned with firewood stoves, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, and the bedrooms are clean and comfortable. The tea house runners are known for their warm hospitality, ensuring that your stay in Bimthang is a memorable one.

Bimthang’s Weather and Scenery

The weather in Bimthang is often characterized by clear, blue skies throughout the year. This is due to its location as part of the Annapurna Circuit, known for its rain-shadow effect, resulting in less rainfall. The Bimthang Trek is ideal for those with limited time yet a strong desire to experience the wonders of the Manaslu circuit. Over the course of ten days, you’ll be treated to mesmerizing vistas of the Manaslu Range, the Annapurna Range, Himlung, and many other majestic peaks. Bimthang serves as a rendezvous point for trekkers who have conquered the challenging Larkya Pass, adding to the sense of accomplishment and camaraderie among fellow adventurers.
