 Pristine
mountain views, rich culture and
genuine adventure sum up the trek experience to the base
of Mt. Manasalu. Opened in 1992, this area offers a combination
of rich culture heritage, unsurpassed beauty and biological diversity.
Beginning in Gorkha, home of the celebrated Gorkha soldiers, visit
the ancient palace of King
Prithivi Narayan Shah. Soon after civilisation fades and we glimpse
ancient villages, observing the simple agricultural habits of
its people.
From here, begin your ascent through the Gandaki
River valley, fed by innumerable rivers and waterfalls and plunge into its
bathing pools. From here, the strenuous section begins and yaks begin to
outnumber people in a rocky landscape. In Samagoan (3450m.), visit the
glacial green lake of Birendra, before crossing into mystic Samdo, a mere
15 km from the Tibetan border. Here, Tibetan monks inhabit sacred
monasteries. There, combined with the views of Tibetan plateau against
stark white Himalayas makes this a truly spiritual place. Continuing, more
monasteries await you in Larkya Bazaar, along with your biggest challenge
- crossing Larkya pass. Snow covered peaks reaching over 6500 mt, demand
your utmost respect as you are crossing, quite literally, the top of the
world. The relaxing descent will take you through alpine, tropical areas,
bursting with ferns, bamboo’s, pine, waterfalls and aqua-blue green
lakes laced with cotton-white beaches. Finally, the Manasalu will
disappear behind you as you descend to Beshishar (832m.). This 3 week's
excursion will leave you with a sense of peace and respect for the people
of Nepal and its ecological wonders.
