TRIP OVERVIEW:

Mt. Manaslu, The eighth highest peak in the world which is elevated at the height of 8,163m (26,781 ft) above the sea level is located in the ridges of Mansiri Himal in the Gorkha District of Nepal. Regarded as the “mountain of the spirit”, Mt. Manaslu is identified as Mt. Kutung in Tibet. Manaslu Base Camp trek is a fascinating route, which includes visiting the three peaks of Manaslu, known as "Japanese Peak". Mt. Manaslu 8163m is best known Himal for trekking, hiking, difficulty walking, and expedition which is also considered an Adventurous Sport. It is a well-known and well-loved but rarely visited trekking area. Manaslu Base Camp trekking can be started from two-three places, but simply the Manaslu trekking starts and ends from Sotikhola Bazar to Budhi Gandaki passing through huge extremely steep valleys to the contrasting world of Sama, up to the Manaslu Base Camp 4800m and descending to same way back to sama and can be made the circuit to Marsyangdi Khola after crossing another challenging Larke La 5160 m Pass. So Manaslu trekking area is taken as a Classical trek as well as Adventurous Treks too. Manaslu – which means the “mountain of the soul”, is one of the imminent geographical charismas dominating the historical kingdom of Gorkha. A conical-shaped snow-capped mountain of height 8,163m above sea level is the major attraction of this trekking package. Locally Manaslu is known as Pungen Ri whose embodiment is worshiped in a Gompa couple of hundred meters above the village of Sama Goan.

The Manaslu Conservation Area, declared as such in December 1998 under the National Parks and Wild Life Conservation Act, subsumes Manaslu within it.  Mt. Manaslu Base Camp treks offer rich culture, adventure, scenic beauty, and rudimental rural civilization that represents ancient Tibetan lifestyle. Due to the newly opened route, this trek encircling the entire Manaslu massif offers a chance to comprehensively explore the full range of Nepal’s natural and cultural diversity.
