Manaslu considered as one of the most challenging treks in Nepal, was opened only in1992. This area offers a combination of rich culture heritage, unsurpassed beauty, and biological diversity. .
The Gandaki River valley, which is fed by innumerable rivers and waterfalls, the glacial green lakes, the views of the Tibetan plateau against stark white Himalayas and an insight into Tibetan culture through various monasteries and Tibetan settlements, makes this trek an experience of a lifetime.
The biggest challenge then awaits - crossing the snow bound Larkya La pass (5213m). Snow-covered peaks over 6500m towers above as we cross. The descent, once off the snow, takes us through alpine then tropical areas, bursting with ferns, bamboo, pine trees. Because of its isolation and newness to tourism, a Nepalese Liaison Officer must accompany each group to assure protection of both the fragile environment and cultures there.
