Pristine mountain views, rich culture and
genuine adventure sum up the trek experience
around the 8156m high Mt. Manaslu. Opened in
1992, this area offers a combination of rich
cultural heritage, unsurpassed beauty and
biological diversity. Beginning in Gorkha, home
of the celebrated Gorkha soldiers, visit the
ancient palace of king Prithivi Narayan Shah.
Soon after, civilization fades and we glimpse
ancient villages, observing the simple
agricultural habit of its people.
From here, begin your ascent through the Gandaki
River valley, fed by innumerable rivers and
water Falls and plunge into its refreshing
pools. From here the strenuous section begins
and yaks begin to outnumber people in a rocky
landscape in samagaon, visit the glacier green
lake of Birendra, before crossing into mystic
samdo, a mere 15 km. from the tibetan border.
Here tibetan monks inhabit sacred monasteries.
There the view of the tibetan plateau against
stark white Himalayas make this a truly
spiritual place. Continuing, more monasteries
await you in larkya bazzar a long biggest
challenge – crossing larkya pass. This 5213 M
snow – covered pass demands the utmost respect.
Snow – covered peaks over 6500m. tower above as
we cross. The descent, once off the snow takes
us through alpine, then tropical areas, bursting
with ferns, bamboo, piunetrees, water falls and
aqua – blue green lakes laced with cotton –
white beaches. Finally, the Manaslu will
disappear behind you as you descend to
Besisahar(832m). This three week’s excursion
will leave you with a sense peace and respect
for the people of Nepal and its ecological
wonders.
