Welina mai i ke kapikala exotic o Kathmandu. Ke haʻalele ʻoe i ke kahua mokulele ʻo Kathmandu, e ʻike ʻoe i kā mākou mea kākau i hāʻawi ʻia e paʻa ana i kahi hōʻailona me kou inoa.

E kōkua ʻo ia iā ʻoe i kāu hoʻoili ʻana i kou hōkele. Ma hope o kou ʻoluʻolu ʻana, paipai mākou iā ʻoe e lawe i kekahi manawa e ʻike i ka Kathmandu ʻike ʻole ʻia.

I kēia manawa, e kali ana mākou i nā poʻe a pau o kā mākou huakaʻi kaapuni ʻo Manaslu Tsum Valley e hōʻea i kēia manawa. I ke ahiahi, e hoʻolauna ko mākou alakaʻi iā ia iho a e hōʻuluʻulu i nā mea a pau e haʻi mai iā mākou e pili ana i kā mākou papahana huakaʻi i hoʻolālā ʻia.

Ma hope o kēia, hiki iā ʻoe ke hele a ʻimi i nā kīʻaha nani a ke kapikala.

He mākaʻikaʻi koʻikoʻi kēia lā, e ʻike i nā mea ʻike ʻole a me nā mea hou. E hele mākou iā ʻoe i ka luakini o Swayambhunath, ʻo ka mea nui loa i kapa ʻia ʻo ka Monkey Temple.

A laila, aia ʻo Boudhanath stupa kahi e huikau ai nā huila pule he nui, nā monasteries, a me nā kala kala. A laila, e hele ʻoe i ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike ʻo Pashupatinath, kahi wahi hoʻomana Hindu kahiko loa ma Nepal.

Ma hope o ko mākou hele ʻana iā ʻoe ma nā alanui kaulana o Kathmandu Durbar Square, e kōkua kā mākou alakaʻi iā ʻoe i ka loaʻa ʻana a hoʻolimalima paha i nā mea pono. E ʻoluʻolu e hiamoe koke ʻoe no ka mea he lōʻihi kāu huakaʻi alanui i ka lā ʻapōpō.

I ke kakahiaka nui, e hoʻomaka mākou i kahi huakaʻi mauna. Ma mua o mākou he huakaʻi lōʻihi ma nā puʻupuʻu a me nā alanui Nepalese e alakaʻi iā mākou i ko mākou wahi pō i kapa ʻia ʻo Machha Khola.

Ma hope o ka mālama ʻana i ke kaʻa nui o Kalanki a me Thankot, hiki iā mākou ke haʻalele iā Kathmandu a hui pū me ke alanui Trishuli ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka muliwai o ka inoa like.

E kaʻa aku mākou ma ke alanui i mālama maikaʻi ʻia i Dhading. Ke hoʻomaka nei kā mākou huakaʻi hele ma waho o ke alanui ma ke ala ʻaoʻao e alakaʻi iā mākou i Dhading Besi.

ʻO ke ala paʻa ʻole i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e alakaʻi iā mākou i kahi mākeke paʻa a ola ʻole ʻo Arughat (kahi kauhale liʻiliʻi o Upper Gorkha ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka muliwai Budhi Gandaki) kahi e hiki ai iā mākou ke ʻike i nā hiʻohiʻona nani o Ganesh, Manaslu, a me Annapurna.

Ma ka hele ʻana i ka cascade kupaianaha o nā kumulāʻau a me nā kumulāʻau o Maltar, Shante, Arkhet, a me Kyoropani, e hōʻea mākou i Soti Khola i hala no nā makahiki he nui i lilo i kauhale hoʻomaka no ke awāwa ʻo Manaslu Tsum.

Eia naʻe, ua hiki i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ke alanui ke hele i Machha Khola e hōʻemi ana i nā hola huakaʻi no ka lā aʻe. E hele mākou ma ka ʻāina ʻōmaʻomaʻo o Khursane a me Labu Bensi ma mua o ka hiki ʻana i ko mākou wahi hope.

Ma Machha Khola, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i kahi hui o Gurung, Brahmin, Tamang, Chhetri, Damai, a me Sarki. ʻO ka ʻāina ma ʻaneʻi he ʻuala piha, piha i nā ʻāina laiki.

Mai kēia lā, e hoʻomaka mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi hele wāwae, e alakaʻi iā mākou ma waena o nā ululāʻau ʻohe a me nā pali pali o nā awāwa hohonu o nā kauhale Nepali kahiko.

Ma hope o Machha Khola, e hele mākou ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o kā mākou alahaka kau mua ma luna o ka muliwai Buddhi Gandaki me Ganesh Himal e nānā mau ana iā mākou i nā manawa a pau. A laila, e hele ana i kahi mau km, e hōʻea mākou i kahi noho liʻiliʻi o Khorla Besi.

Na ke ala holomua e lawe iā mākou i ke kauhale ʻano o Tatopani mai kahi a mākou e hoʻomaka ai e piʻi mau a hiki i ko mākou hui ʻana i kahi alahaka metala e kau ana ma luna o Dobhan Khola.

ʻO ke ala lōʻihi o ka nahele e lawe iā mākou i Yaruphant kahi e hoʻomaka hou ai mākou e neʻe i kahi alahaka 92 km lōʻihi. I kēia manawa, e hele ana i ke ala ma Thulo Dhunga, e hōʻea mākou i Jagat- ke komo i ka Manaslu Restricted Conservation Area.

Ke hōʻea mākou i ka hopena o ke alanui nui o Jagat, e kū mākou ma ka pūʻali koa o Manaslu Restricted Conservation Area e hōʻoia i kā mākou mau palapala.

I kēia manawa, e hoʻomau mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi ma ke ala ākea e pili ana i ke kahakai one o ka ʻO ka muliwai ʻo Budhi Gandaki a hiki koke i Salleri. Me Shringi Peak e uhi mau ana iā mākou, e hele mākou i waena o nā wailele he nui a hiki i Sridibas Village.

A laila, e hele ana i ke alahaka Tibet, e hōʻea mākou i ka lā Gurung Village o Philim. Ma ʻaneʻi, hoʻomaʻalili ka wailele nui hou i ko mākou mau wāwae luhi e hoʻomākaukau ana iā mākou no ka piʻi mālie aʻe i Ekle Bhatti.

Ke hoʻomaka maoli nei ke ala e hele i ka nahele hohonu i ko mākou neʻe ʻana i Lokpa. Aia kēia wahi liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi ma waena o nā wai ʻo Budhi Gandaki a me Siyar Khola. ʻO ia ka ʻāpana o ke awāwa ʻo Tsum haʻahaʻa e hāʻawi i nā hiʻohiʻona kupaianaha o nā Gyajin a me Shringi Peaks.

Mai kēia lā aku, e komo ana kākou i nā ʻano hiʻohiʻona like ʻole, nā moʻomeheu, a me nā kānaka. Aia mākou i ka ʻāina kahi i noho aliʻi ai ka moʻomeheu Tibetan kahiko o ka Tsumbas.

I ka hui ʻana i kekahi mau stupa, chortens, a me Mani huila, e holomua ana mākou me ka Siyar Khola. E piʻi wikiwiki ke ala i ka puʻu hanohano ʻo Sardi Khola.

I kēia manawa ua komo hohonu mākou i ka ʻāina ʻo Tsum. E hele ana makou mai ke kualono aku a hiki i ka hapalua hora a e ike makou ma kahakai o ka Lungwa Khola.

E ʻoi aku ke ala ma waena o ke awāwa nui e alakaʻi iā mākou i Gumlung. Aia kekahi alahaka hoʻokuʻu ʻia e Sir ma luna o Siyar Khola e lawe iā mākou i Chumling.

E hoʻomākaukau iā ʻoe iho no nā kiʻi hoʻohiwahiwa o Baudha a me Ganesh Himal. Me ia, hoʻomālamalama i nā monasteries Panago, Gurwa, a me Mani Dhungyur.

Wehe hou aʻe ke awāwa ʻo Tsum i ko mākou holomua ʻana i kā mākou huakaʻi i kēia lā. E hui mākou i kekahi mau kauhale ʻoiaʻiʻo loa ma ke ala i hoʻonani ʻia me nā pā Mani he nui, nā wili pule, nā gompas, a me nā stupas.

Ke hele nei ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka Siyar Khola kupaianaha, e hele mau mākou i ke ala piʻi ma ka ʻākau ʻākau a hiki i 2460 m kiʻekiʻe ʻo Dumje Village.

ʻElua mau koho ma ke alanui forking: ʻo kekahi e alakaʻi i Ganesh Base Camp a ʻo kekahi a mākou e hahai ai i Chekampar (kapa ʻia ʻo Chokhangparo). Ma hope o kēia alahele, e ʻike mākou i ka Serpu Khola. Ma hope o ka hele ʻana i kēia muliwai liʻiliʻi kupanaha, e hōʻea mākou i Gho a me ka mauʻu kiʻekiʻe o Chauri Kharka.

Ke hele nei mākou i nā Yaks, e hele ʻoluʻolu mākou ma ke ala i paʻa maikaʻi i Chhokang Paro/Chhekampar. ʻO ka ʻīpuka liʻiliʻi nani i hoʻonani ʻia me nā kiʻi pena o Master Rinpoche, Tara Goddess, a me Chenrezig e hoʻokipa iā mākou.

E nee aku kakou i ka hikina a hele i kekahi puu uuku e nee aku ai ia kakou i Lamagaon. ʻO kekahi alahaka metala lōʻihi e lawe iā mākou i ke kula nui ʻo Rachen Gompa kiʻekiʻe ma 3240 m.

ʻO ka hale hou i kūkulu ʻia i kēia lā he nui nā ʻōpio a me nā ʻelemakule kahi e ʻike ai iā lākou e aʻo ana, e aʻo ana, a e noʻonoʻo ana, ʻoiai ke kū nei ka monastery mua ma kahi kokoke, i mālama maikaʻi ʻia me nā kikokikona hemolele kahiko a me nā kiʻi pena.

Ma hope o kahi alahele pōkole i ka monastery, e hele mākou i kēia manawa ma Ngakyu, Leru, Nga, a me Bursi ma mua o ko mākou hōʻea ʻana i Chekampar. Hiki iā mākou ke ʻike i ka moʻolelo kupanaha o Manaslu nani, ka mauna ʻuhane, 8,163 mika ke kiʻekiʻe.

E hoʻomau mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi hele ʻana i kekahi mau kauhale ʻoiaʻiʻo ma ke awāwa ʻo Tsum. Ma hope o Chakampar, e hele mākou ma nā wahi hoihoi o Phurbe, Chhule, a me Pangdun.

Ma ke ala, hiki iā mākou ke ʻike i ka Piren Phu, ke ana nani o Milarepa e kau ana ma ka puʻu. E piʻi mau ana ke ala me ka piʻi ʻana a hiki i ke komo ʻana o ka Nile Village.

E hoʻopau ʻia kā mākou ahiahi i ka mahalo ʻana i nā moʻolelo kupaianaha o Nadi Chuli, Himal Chuli, Manaslu, Naike Peak, Pangbuche Himal, Simnang Himal, Himal, Shringi Himal, a me Ganesh Himal.

Ua hōʻea mai kahi ʻāpana koʻikoʻi o kā mākou Tsum Valley trekking i ka wā e hele ai mākou i ke kauhale hope loa o ke awāwa ʻo Tsum-ka Mu Gumba.

Mai ka Nile, e hoʻomaka mākou e piʻi i ke ala hema ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka Siyar Khola e hiki ke piʻi aʻe a hoʻomau no kahi o 3 a 4 mau hola e hoʻopau ai i ka puʻu kahi e kū ai ʻo Mu Gumba.

Hoʻopuni nui ʻia e ka Baudha, Shringi, Himalchuli, a me Ganesh Peaks, pili kēia monastery i ka moʻomeheu Kagyupa a pili i ka Kapan Monastery o Kathmandu.

Hiki iā mākou ke ʻike i ka ʻākoakoa nui ʻana o nā mōneka, e hana ana kekahi i kā lākou mau hana ponoʻī, a ua komo kekahi i kā lākou noʻonoʻo ʻana. Ma hope o ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka huakaʻi monastery, e hoʻomaka mākou me kā mākou huakaʻi hele i ka Ngula Bhanjyang Pass, i ʻike ʻia ʻo Mailatasachin Pass, aia ma 5093 m.

Huli mākou i ka ʻākau a hiki i Dhupchet a laila hele i nā wahi hānai ākea o Kalung. Ma ʻaneʻi, ʻelua ke ala i ke ala hikina a me ke komohana. ʻO ke ala hikina e piʻi iā mākou a hiki i Ngula Dhojyang Bhanjyang mai kahi e ʻike ai mākou i ka ʻāina ākea o Tibet a me kona mau piko hoʻonani.

ʻIke ʻia kēia wahi no Yarsagumba, i kapa pinepine ʻia ʻo ke gula Himalayan. Ma hope o kēia ʻimi hoʻonaʻauao, e hoʻi mākou i ka Nile no ko mākou noho pō.

ʻO ka manawa kēia e hoʻopau ai i ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻana i ke awāwa ʻo Tsum a hoʻomaka i kā mākou mākaʻikaʻi a puni ka Manaslu Himal kahi e hele ai mākou i Chekampar, i kapa ʻia ʻo Chhokang Paro.

E maʻalahi a maʻalahi ka huakaʻi e like me ka hapa nui e hahai mākou i ke ala iho i ko mākou hele ʻana ma nā kauhale kamaʻāina ʻo Pungdun, Chhuley, Phurbey, Lamagaon, Lar, Bursi, Nga, a me Ngakyu ma mua o ka hiki ʻana i Chhokang Paro.

Ma ke ala, e lawe mākou i kahi manawa e kipa aku ai i ke ana ʻo Milarepa, kahi i manaʻoʻiʻo ʻia ua hana ka haipule i ka noʻonoʻo hohonu no kekahi mau makahiki.

E hahai ana kakou i ke ala e holo like ana me ka aina hoonanea i piha i na paina a me na rhododendron mohala. E hoʻi hou mākou ma o Gho a me Sarpu Khola a nānā i ke kuaʻāina ʻo Nepal ma nā wahi noho o Kowo, Yarchyo, a me Tanju ma mua o ko mākou hiki ʻana i Chumling.

Eia hou, e hele mākou ma Gumlung a hoʻopaʻa i ka ʻāina i luna a i lalo o ka Sardi Khola Danda ma mua o ko mākou hiki ʻana i Lokpa no ka pō.

Mai Lokpa, e huakaʻi hou mākou a hiki i ke awāwa ʻo Budhi Gandaki. Ke hoomau nei makou i ka hele ana, e hiki aku ana makou i ke ala e halawai ai me ke alahele e hele mai ana mai Pilima mai.

E kuhikuhi mākou iā mākou iho i ka ʻākau a neʻe aku e hele ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o ke alahaka ma luna o ke kahawai ʻālohilohi ʻo Budhi Gandaki, e lawe iā mākou i Ekle Bhatti.

E neʻe mākou ma waena o nā ululāʻau ʻohe a hiki i Nupri. E hoʻomākaukau e hele i ke kahawai haiki a hiki i Deng e hāʻawi hou iā mākou i ka manaʻo o ka Buddhism Tibet.

Mai Deng, e hoʻomaka mākou e hele ma ka ʻaoʻao o ke kahakai hikina o ka muliwai nui ʻo Budhi Gandaki. ʻO kā mākou huakaʻi e alakaʻi mau iā mākou i ke alahaka ʻo Rana, a laila e holomua mākou i Bihi Phedi.

ʻO nā paia ʻo Om Mane Padme Hum i kālai ʻia ʻo Mani ʻo ia ko mākou hōʻoluʻolu ma ke ala e hoʻomau ai mākou i ka neʻe ʻana ma kekahi mau piʻi ʻoi a me ka iho ʻana e pau ai ma hope o ko mākou hiki ʻana i ke kauhale Ghap.

E hoʻomaha ana ke ala i kēia manawa ke hele hou nei mākou i loko o ka ululāʻau kupua o nā kumu lāʻau fir a me rhododendron i Namrung. ʻO kēia kauhale koʻikoʻi koʻikoʻi kahi e ʻike ai mākou i nā kiʻi kālai ʻia he nui i loko o nā hale o ke kamaʻāina.

Ke hoʻomau nei mākou i ka hele ʻana ma nā pā nani nani, e hele koke mākou i ke ala o ka ululāʻau e lawe iā mākou i 2900 m kiʻekiʻe o Lihi Village. E hoʻomaka mālie ke ala i ka wā e hele ai mākou no kahi o 50 mau minuke a hiki i Sho Hamlet (2950 m).

ʻO ke ala i mua e lilo i mea hoʻokipa i ka wā e hoʻomaka ai mākou e ʻike i nā piko ʻālohilohi o Manaslu a me Manaslu North. E hōʻea koke mai ke kauhale ʻo Shyala i kēlā hoʻomaha hauʻoli i ke awāwa ʻo Nubri, kahi e ʻike ai ʻoe i kahi ʻike 360-degree o ka Manaslu Ranges.

Hiki ke ʻike nui ʻia ka Buddhism Tibetan waiwai nui i ko mākou hele ʻana ma kahi alahele pōkole i ka Ribum Gumba.

Ma hope o Lho, e komo mākou i kahi piʻi holomua a hiki i ke kauhale ʻo Shayala (3575 m). He wahi nani kēia kauhale nui e mahalo ai i ka hoʻolālā nani o Manaslu, Naike, Shringi, a me Saula Himal.

Ke hele hou aku nei mākou, e hālāwai mākou me kekahi kahawai hou a me nā yaks e ʻai ana a puni. E ʻike hou ʻia ʻo Ribum Gomba, e hāʻawi ana i ka panorama hoʻohiwahiwa o Peak 29 a me Himalchuli.

Hoʻokahi hola e piʻi aʻe, a aia mākou ma Sama Gaun, ke kauhale nui loa ma ke awāwa. Ma hope o ka hoʻomaha ʻana, hiki iā mākou ke hele e nānā i ka hana noʻeau o ka Kagyu Chholing Monastery, kahi e mālama ai i ke kiʻi nani o Guru Rinpoche, ka mea nāna i hoʻolauna i ka Buddhism i Tibet.

Eia hou, hāʻawi ʻo Sama Gaun i kekahi mau hale kūʻai a me ka ʻike pūnaewele no kou ʻoluʻolu.

He lā paʻakikī ko mākou i kēia lā ke hoʻomākaukau nei mākou e piʻi i ka Manaslu Base Camp. E hoʻomaʻamaʻa maikaʻi ka huakaʻi iā mākou ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana e hoʻoponopono i ka Larke La Pass.

Ke piʻi nei mākou i ke ala like e like me nā mea piʻi he nui i kau i ko lākou mau maka i ka piko o Manaslu, aia mākou ma ke kahua hoʻomoana i loko o 3 a 4 mau hola.

Hiki ke ʻike ʻia ka glacier kiʻekiʻe o Manaslu a me ka piko o Manaslu mai kahi kokoke loa. Ma hope o kekahi manawa, e hoʻi mākou e ʻai a moe i Sama Gaon.

E loaʻa iā mākou kahi lā mālie ʻoiai mākou e hoʻolōʻihi i kā mākou huakaʻi no kahi o 30 mau minuke a hiki i Lake Birendra (3450 m)- i kapa ʻia ma muli o ke Aliʻi aloha aloha o Nepal. E hoʻokipa hou mai ka Manaslu ʻālohilohi iā mākou ma ʻaneʻi i ko mākou noho ʻana ma kahakai a hoʻolulu wale iā mākou iho i kona mālie.

Piʻi mākou i ka puʻu kahi i hoʻomaha lōʻihi ai ka Pung Gyen Gumba. Ma ʻaneʻi, e loaʻa iā ʻoe ka manawa kūpono e launa pū me nā mōneka e noho ana a loaʻa i kahi hiʻohiʻona ola mai ko lākou ʻike kahiko.

ʻO Sama Gaun ko mākou home no ka pō.

Ma hope o Sama Gaun, e haʻalele mākou i ke apo ʻoluʻolu o nā lāʻau lāʻau a hele aku i kahi ākea o nā wahi hānai yak ma Kermo Kharka. E kahe ana ka muliwai ʻo Budhi Gandaki ma o kākou e kaʻahele ana i kona ʻauwai ma luna o ke alahaka lāʻau.

I kēia manawa, piʻi mālie ke ala ʻē aʻe i ka ʻīpuka ʻo White Kani e hōʻike ana ua hōʻea mākou i ka ʻāina nani o Samdo. Ma hope o ka hoʻomaha ʻana, hiki iā mākou ke hoʻolōʻihi i ko mākou ala e ʻimi ai i nā monasteries nani o kēia kauhale kahi i ʻōlelo ʻia e lawe pololei ʻia kekahi mau lako mai Tibet.

ʻO ka 5177 m kiʻekiʻe ʻo Sado Ri he ʻelua mau mika kahi e hiki ai iā mākou ke koho e piʻi inā makemake mākou e hoʻomaʻamaʻa hou iā mākou iho ma mua o ka ʻoi aku o ka Larke pass.

ʻO Samdo he mau kilomita wale nō ka mamao mai ka palena ʻo Tibet a ʻo ia ke kauhale nui loa a mākou e hālāwai ai inā koho mākou e hoʻokokoke i ka palena Tibet.

ʻO kēia ka mea a mākou e hana ai i kēia lā i ko mākou hele ʻana i Rui La Pass. Mai Samdo, e huli mākou i ka ʻākau, ma ke ala o Athahra Saya Khola, a hoʻomaka e piʻi.

E hoʻomau mākou i ka hahai ʻana i ke ala ʻākau e piʻi mālie ana. Ma hope o ʻekolu hola o ka piʻi ʻana i luna, huli mākou i ke komohana a piʻi i kahi pali. He ʻelua hola e piʻi hou aʻe ma mua o ko mākou hiki ʻana i luna o ke ala ʻo Rui la.

ʻO ka Fukang a me Hindu Glaciers me Manaslu me he mea lā kokoke loa mai luna mai. He ʻano U kūʻokoʻa ka Pass a ua hoʻonani ʻia me ka puʻu nui o nā hae pule ʻokoʻa.

Ma hope o kekahi mau manawa immersive i ka Pass, e lawe hou mākou i 4 mau hola o ka iho ʻana i Samdo.

Ma hope o Samdo, e ākea ko mākou alahele a lilo i mea nani i hoʻonani ʻia me Mani Walls ʻaoʻao. Ma hope o ka hele ʻana i kahi liʻiliʻi, e hālāwai mākou me ʻelua mau kahawai mauna liʻiliʻi mai ka glacier ʻeleʻele o Larkya e kū koke ana i mua o mākou.

I kēia manawa, e hele mākou ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka Salka Khola a piʻi mālie a hiki i Dharmasala. I kekahi manawa i kapa ʻia ʻo Refugee Camp, ʻike ʻia ʻo ia ma ka inoa ʻo Larke Phedi ma Manaslu.

Manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia ke kahua hoʻomoana ma mua o ko mākou hoʻokokoke ʻana i ka behemoth Larke Pass. ʻO Manaslu, Naike, a me Larke nā piko me ka Syacha Glacier hiki ke ʻike ʻia he mea kupanaha mai ʻaneʻi.

Loaʻa iā mākou kahi pae lōʻihi loa, luhi, a koʻikoʻi loa o ka huakaʻi hele wāwae ʻo Manaslu a me Tsum Valley i kēia lā no laila e hoʻomaka mākou i ka wā e wehe ai ka wanaʻao.

E holo mua mākou i ke kualono a hele i ka ʻaoʻao ʻaoʻao o ka Larke Glacier. A laila, e ʻoi aku mākou ma mua o ka scree pōhaku a hele mālie i kekahi mau loko alpine hau. Ma ke ala, e leʻaleʻa loa ka nānā ʻana iā Cheo Danda.

I ko mākou hōʻea ʻana i ka 100 mika hope loa a hiki i ke ala, pono paha mākou e hoʻohana i nā crampons no ka piʻi ʻana o ka paʻa. Ma hope o 3 a 5 mau hola, hiki mākou i ka piko o ka Pass Giant kahi e hiki ai iā mākou ke hauʻoli i nā piko o Kanguru, Nimjung, Himlung, Cheo Himal, Annapurna, Ratna Chuli a me nā mea hou aku.

E hoʻomākaukau no ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ke ala ma luna o kona ʻāina pōhaku. Ma hope o ko mākou huakaʻi ʻana ma Larkya Kharka a me Tanbuche (3900 m), hiki mākou i Bhimthang.

ʻo ia wale nō! Ua hōʻea mākou i ka hopena o kā mākou huakaʻi huakaʻi nui ʻo Manaslu Tsum Valley. Mai Bhimthang, e hele mākou i lalo i Sangure Kharka a hiki i Dudh Khola kahi e hele ai mākou ma ke alahaka nani.

A laila, e hele mākou ma nā ʻāina hoʻokalakupua o Hambuk, Puktu, Phute, a laila Gho (2560 m). Aia nā hale liʻiliʻi lāʻau ma ʻaneʻi kahi e hiki ai iā mākou ke hoʻomaha manawa no ka hoʻomaha.

A laila, e hoʻomaka hou i ko mākou hele ʻana i lalo, e hele mākou i ka ululāʻau paʻa a piʻi ikaika i ka Karche Pass (2700 m). Ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ka iho ʻana mai ke ala, e hele mākou i ka ʻāpana mālie e alakaʻi iā mākou i Tilje.

ʻIke ʻia kahi alahaka pōhaku nani ma luna o ka Dudh Khola ma hope o ka holo ʻana o ko mākou ala ma ka ʻōpala i hoʻopuehu ʻia ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka muliwai Marshyangdi. E hoʻomaka mākou e hele ma ka ʻaoʻao o kona kahakai ʻākau a hiki i Thongje mai kahi e hoʻomaka ai ke ala ʻo Annapurna e lawe iā mākou i Dharapani.

Mai Dharapani, e lawe mākou i nā kaʻa lehulehu a holo ma luna o nā alanui lepo paʻakikī e hele ana ma nā kauhale o Tal, Chamje, Jagat, Syange, Bhulbhule, a me Khudi, a hiki i Besishahar.

Mai laila mai, ʻoluʻolu loa ke alanui no ka mea ʻo ke alanui Prithvi ko mākou hoa e hoʻihoʻi iā mākou i Kathmandu. No ka hoʻopau maikaʻi ʻana i kā mākou huakaʻi hele wāwae ʻo Manaslu a me Tsum Valley, e hauʻoli mākou i ke ahiahi ʻoliʻoli me nā lālā o kā mākou hui ma kahi pāʻina Nepali maikaʻi.
