Manaslu Circuit Trek
Manaslu region is newly-opened for trekking to limited number of tourists. The region has its own natural beauty experienced by every trekker. The trekking trip starting from Gorkha along with Larkya La pass (5420m) offers some of the finest journeys in the Himalayan wilderness. The region is geographically spectacular and culturally fascinating. The views of Manaslu and other neighboring peaks are spectacular from Larkya La Pass. Much of this trek is in a region of strong Tibetan influence. The inhabitants of upper Budhi Gandaki region are Nupri, who are direct descendants of Tibetan.
The trek around Manaslu is one of the classic treks in Nepal. The trail up the Budhi Gandaki is one of the most difficult routes in Nepal and there is huge amount of climbing as you trek up and down over ridges and onto shelves to bypass cliffs. The trail is rough and steep and it offers literally hangs on a bluff high above the river and many bridges. This trek is geographically spectacular and culturally fascinating.
