- MANASLU ROUND ( 21- 23 Days )
Manaslu is over 8,000 meters high. Your first day of trekking begins from Gorkha to Khanchowk. Far off in the north, you will see Manaslu, Ngadi Chuli, Himal Chuli & Gorkha Himal itself. It is very wonderful region. From Arughat bazaar, the trail will continue up ward along the curling Budhigandaki River itself. You will see excellent views of entire Ganesh Himal which has seven different peaks.
The people of this region are still living on their traditional farming way of life. They are includes Gurung, Tamang and Magars. In each day, one is going more and more height. All along your way, there are rich stands of green forest. From Lowgaun and Samagaun will hearty welcome you. Then some of the peaks in Manaslu region will be visible. In next two nights you will be in Samdo and Larke Bazaar. This is a restricted area and requires a special permit, which we will have obtained in Kathmandu. Larke pass is 3213m height and descending all the way to Bhimthang, Karehe and Tilje, leaving Manaslu is on your left. From Tilje, there is an optional way. One can proceed upto Manang, cross Thorong Phedi, get down to Muktinath, Jomsom and fly back to Kathmandu via Pokhara. Otherwise, descending to Tal, Syange, Bulbule and finally Besisahar. We advise you to use this way and finally you will take bus or car to Kathmandu. If you fly, you shorten the trip by about 6 days. This trek goes very close to the Tibet border and goes to a height of 5,250 meters. This is lesser traveled trek than the Annapurna treks.
