Manaslu – the seventh highest mountain of the globe and it’s only recently the trekkers have started to discover this rugged beauty. While trekking around Manaslu, visitors get to enjoy exceptional mountainous sights, isolated Buddhist villages near the Tibetan border and geographical and cultural variety that surpasses any other trek in Nepal. The Manaslu Circuit trek starts amidst the terraced fields & sub-tropical woodlands of the foothills. Hiking north, the countryside steadily changes into arid, high-altitude sceneries concerned with the Tibetan custom. Traveling to the North side of Manaslu with adequate time to explore the Base Camp that’s employed by explorers is one of the major highlights of this trek. Beyond Manaslu, the hike persists until you reach the Upper Mustang trekking route, which offers exceptional sights in each direction of the grand Himalayas.
Experience the majestic beauty of the Manaslu Massif in this remote mountain trek. Hike along an ancient salt-trading route along the wild rapids of the Bhuri Gandhaki River and discover the splendour of pine, bamboo and rhododendron forests. Traverse mani walls, explore monasteries and gain insight into a culturally fascinating region. Trek over a breathtaking high mountain pass, walk over glacial terrain and discover why Manaslu, the 8th highest peak in the world is known as the mountain of the spirit.
Use the local teahouses:
By using local teahouses, instead of camping (which has been the traditional means of accommodation in the past) we are directly contributing to livelihoods of those living within the Manaslu and Annapurna Conservation areas. Staying in teahouses is environmentally more sound than staying in tented campsites along with the added benefit of warmth and comfort. Staying in local teahouses also ensures that we use and eat a variety of fresh, homegrown local products, instead of bringing our supplies from Kathmandu and other areas.
Top highlights of your Manaslu trekking will include:
• It’s far less packed in comparison to its more renowned peers Annapurna Circuit and Everest Base Camp.
• The trek is remote and wild, yet there’re teahouses everywhere, so hikers don’t have to bring foods and tents, making it more affordable than identical treks.
• The first part of the trail follows the Buri Gandaki, a deep, long river gorge, with many suspension bridge crossings.
• The landscape offers all Nepal has to offer: you will trek from the subtropical woodland at lower altitude, through the Himalayan foothills to the high, chilly and taxing crossing of the Larkya La on top of 5,100 meters.
So, what are you waiting for? Go online and find a reputed trekking agency and ask them to prepare a customized Manaslu trekking tour for you.
