Bimthang Manaslu Trek Summary
Bimthang is situated in the Manaslu trek route; explore the magnificent trek beyond the round Annapurna Trek in the peaceful environment, which offers you a unique experience with diverse savors. Gifted by nature, trekkers can feel the real nature pleasure in the trek's non-disturbed excess crowd. It was a junction point for the Nepal-Tibetan salt trade a few decades ago. A visit to Bimthang and Ponker Lake is a lifetime memory that will leave you spellbound. Your heart will remain cool throughout the trek with stunning views of mountains like Mount Manaslu, Mt. Kangaru, Himlung, Cheo Himal, Lamjung Himal, Phungi Himal, Ponker Mountain, etc. Close observation of Himlung glacier, Himlung Lake, Ponker Lake, and adoring people, pleasant accommodation, and amazing flora and fauna.
The Bimthang trek route first follows Annapurna Circuit Part 1, then the trek diverts to the right and goes through the beautiful historical and cultural village of Tilche. Pyakane Cave is another attraction located 30 minutes west from Tilche with religious significance. And we can visit Tamrang Gompa, which is situated in north-east Thonche village from Thonche village in an hour's distance. The statue of Buddha and other deities, religious scriptures, and holy book are positioned. This off-beater trek in Annapurna can be combined with Annapurna Circuit, Nar Phu Valley Trek, and people doing Manaslu Circuit end their trek in Annapurna Circuit Part one, so the Bimthag trek is ending part of the Manaslu trek.

My guide Pradip was an absolute star throughout the trek. We did the off the Annapurna main route to Bimthang which is part of Manaslu but doesn’t require Manaslu Trekking Permit. Everything went off without a hitch. I'm generally skeptical...
