Trade Leads

Manaslu Circuit Trekking takes you round of the beautiful mountain Manaslu. You will be privileged to enter the recently opened, remote world of a people who eke out a living with the barest of essentials, but who nurture a deep and abiding faith. There is no better place to start this trek than from historic Gorkha, home of King Prithvi Narayan Shah, who united Nepal into one. Even from this point, the views are stunning; Annapurna, Manaslu, Himalchuli, peak 29 and Ganesh Himal dominate the skyline. The trail is winding and rice paddies of the Gurung and Magar villagesalong the Budhi Gandaki River valley soon give way to steep tracks cut into the cliffs of the river gorge. As you enter the rain shadow of Manaslu close to the Tibetan border, the scenery changes dramatically. Sparse forests decorated with colourful prayer flags, and many shrines proclaim the region's Tibetan Buddhist heritage. While the approach to Larkya La is demanding, your reward is incomparable views of Manaslu and Himlung Himal from the pass. A steep descent into rhododendron forests will then bring you to the Marshyangdi River Valley and the more traveled Annapurna trails, which lead back to the road let the world go by.
