Manaslu -Trek


Manaslu Trekking is considered as  lovely trekking route of Nepal. It provides chance to view mountain views along with rich culture and genuine adventure.This area was opened in 1992, this area also offers a combination of rich culture heritage, unsurpassed beauty and biological diversity.
Manaslu at 8163 meters (26, 775') is the 8th highest peak in the world. It is located near to the border of Nepal and Tibet. The name Manaslu means "The Spirit-Mountain" in the local dialect. Trekking in Manaslu is one of the most delightful adventures.
If you would like to sample both extremes of the trekking experience in Nepal, then look no further than the circuit of Manaslu via the Larkya La.
The Tibetan enclave of Nupri, north of Manaslu at the head of the Budi Gandaki, was closed to foreigners for years on account of its proximity to Tibet. The area was surreptitiously opened in 1991, but it took several years for the word to get out.

Highlights of the Trip

The terraced farmland above Pokhara – Visit the inner sanctuary of Annapurna panoramic views of 10 peaks over 6000m - Views of Dhaulagiri and the Kali Gandaki from Poon Hill - Surrounded by a ring of impressive mountains, including Annapurna I 8091m (26540ft.) - The combination of pretty villages and farmland at Ghaundrung, set against the panorama of high peaks beyond makes this one of the most picturesque of treks – Natural hot spring at Jhinudanda.
