TRIP OVERVIEW

Considered as one of the most challenging trek in Nepal, the Manaslu Circuit rewards the adventurous with an unparalleled alpine experience, opened in 1992. This area offers a combination of rich cultural heritage, unsurpassed beauty and biological diversity. We ascend the Gandaki River valley, which is fed by many rivers and waterfalls, offering the chance of a plunge into some bathing pools. The streneous section begins from here. Yaks begin to out number people in the rocky landscape. In Samagoan (3450m) we visit the glacial green lake of Birendra before crossing into mystic Samdo, 15km from the Tibetan border. Here Tibetan monks inhabit sacred monasteries and combined with the views of the Tibetan plateau against stark white Himalayas. This is a truly spiritual place. The biggest challenge then awaits – crossing the snow bound Larkya La pass (5213m). As we cross, we see snow-covered peaks over 6500m towers above . While descending, once off the snow takes us through alpine then tropical areas, bursting with ferns, bamboo, pine trees, waterfalls and aqua-blue green lakes laced with cotton-white beaches. Finally, Manaslu will disappear as we descend to Beshishar (832m.) This 3 weeks excursion will leave you with a sense of peace and respect for the people of Nepal and its ecological wonders.
