Manaslu Trekking in Nepal This trek was
officially opened to tourists in 1991, but
mountaineering expeditions have long had access
to the area. Especially by Japanese expeditions,
on attempt to climb Mt. Manaslu 8156m, every
year from 1952 until the first successful ascent
in1956. The area to the east of Annapurna massif
contains the peaks of the Manaslu group. Besides
Manaslu, the most prominent of the peaks are
Boudha Himal and Himal Chuli, both of which can
be seen from many viewpoints between Kathmandu
and Pokhara.
This part of Nepal sees relatively few trekkers,
which makes a visit here all the more unique and
unspoiled. There are only a few established
trekking routes but the opportunity for
exploration is always possible. The area in
question is bordered by two major River systems.
To the east the Bhudi Gandaki River and to the
west the Marshyangdi River. So the trail is
rough and steep and it often hangs on high
cliffs above the rivers. But this route is
geographically very spectacular and culturally
really fascinating. The upper Buri Gandaki River
region is also known as Nupri (The Western
Mountains), are direct descendants of Tibetan
immigrants so their speech, dress, customs are
exclusively Tibetan. Beyond this the Mountain
View from Nupri are sensational and the crossing
of the Larkela is one of the most dramatic of
any pass in the Himalaya.
After the Larke La pass the trail directly
descends through Dudh Khola (River of Milk)
visiting some small settlements like Gho, Tilje
and Thonje to join the main trail of Round
Annapurna in Dharapani. After Darapani it is
also possible to extend the trekking days, by
Thorang Pass to Pokhara or Gale Gaun to Pokhara,
to catch the Nepal's wealth of scenery and
different cultures.
