From Deng, a short descent leads to a bridge over Bhuri Gandaki, followed by a chaotic steep path that joins the pathway under the Bihi plateau. Detour possible in Bihi , beautiful village surrounded by a wall mani , here the valley opens with beautiful terraces. At Suksam you can admire beautiful giant spruces . The valley tightens again before a last steep climb to reach Namrung, a particularly typical village.

Long descent, varied. From the glacier zone the path crosses immense forests with gigantic spruces interspersed with alpine meadows . Views of the peaks of Manaslu and the Peri Himal massif . Then, take place beautiful altitude cultures before reaching the village of Tilje nestled above the gorge. The trail joins again the exuberance of the tropical forest (giant rhododendrons, lichens, mosses …). Last moments of descent along the Dudh Khola before the junction with the Marsyangdi Khola. After Tonje, the path joins Dharapani (and the Annapurna tour at the same time).
