Manaslu trekking was officially
opened to trekkers in 1991, but mountaineering expeditions
have long had access to the area. Gorkha is the traditional
starting point for Manaslu treks that goes up the
Buri Gandaki valley. The public buses are leave from
Kathmandu to Gorkha Bazaar every day in the morning
but Manaslu trekking is also possible to starting
from Dhading who wish to saves a day of walking compared
to the trek from Gorkha and alternative trekking starting
point for the Around Manaslu trek is Trisuli Bazaar.
However, Gorkha bazaar is the best and popular trek
starting point for the Manaslu Larkya La pass trekking.
Around Manaslu trekking route through the Larka La
is not a difficult pass, the trek is harder than most
in Nepal. Manaslu trek is a fascinating course, the
Manaslu, Known as "three peaks". It is a
well- loved trek from Gorkha or Trisuli Bazaar to
the Burhi Gandali, passing through a huge precipitous
valley to the contrasting world of Sama, crossing
snow-covered Larke La and descending to the Marsyangdi
Khola, All supplies necessary for the trip (including
food and kerosene) must be carried in and all rubbish
must be pottered out. As it is a long course, you
must be in good physically and have extra days for
rest during the trek. Sama, before you cross the pass,
it is ideal for this; you can enjoy strolling about
the glacial lake and Pugen Glacier there.
Trekking around Manaslu offers a unique opportunity
to experience relatively "untouched" region
of Nepal. It provides spectacular beauty along the
border of Nepal and China and is now a controlled
trekking route which allows organized trekking groups
special permits to venture round its spectacular circuit.
Located in west-central Nepal, the trekking around
Manaslu provides fantastic mountain scenery, spanning
altitudes from 375 m to 5300 m. A diverse range of
ecosystems and ethnic cultures, and a trail that puts
one physically closer to Tibet than any other trek
in Nepal. Manaslu area people go to the Tibet for
buying necessary things such as rice, clothes and
Tibetan beer, etc which is cheaper compared to buy
in Nepali market.
Manaslu trekking possible to make short and long as
trekkers demands that mean most of trekkers go to
Manaslu and cross Larka La pass then finished the
trek in Besi Sahar but some trekkers after crossing
Larka La they continue trek to Annapurna circuit,
Tilicho Lake or Narphu valley as well as in Manaslu
area there is good high pass called Rupinala Pass
so it is also possible to include Rupinala pass on
Manaslu circuit trek itinerary. Trekking in Manaslu
region only possible to operate trek on camping basis
/ tent camp because Manaslu area there are not available
Teahouse /lodge facilities.
