Trekking around Manaslu offers a unique opportunity to experience a reasonably "untouched" region of Nepal, getting popular in recent years ..

Mt. Manaslu, at 8,156 meters is the fifth highest point on earth. Manaslu was attempted by Japanese expeditions every year from 1950 until 1956. The first ascent of Manaslu was scaled by Japanese expedition in 1956. However this area has been opened to trekkers only since 1991. Iit provides spectacular beauty along the border of Nepal and Tibet and is now a controlled trekking route, allowing organized trekking groups special permits to gain entry into this region to venture round its spectacular circuit.
Much of the information about this area is available only with Japanese. So it became known as “Japanese Mountain.” This trek route is remote and rescue facilities are harder than most in Nepal. In many places the wall of Bhudi Gandaki valley are steep, so we can walk along the bottom of the valley. There is a huge amount of wasted of climbing involved in the beginning of first 10 days as we climb up and down over the ridges and bypass the lofty cliff. The trail is rough and it often literally hangs on a bluff high above the river. The trek is geographically spectacular, culturally fascinating and traverse a strong living Tibetan cultural environment and spectacular wilderness. Moreover, Larke La ( 5100 m) is certainly an unforgettable pass crossing in Nepal Himalaya. This trek starts either from Trishuli, Arughat and Gorkha and ends at Besisahar.
Manaslu has a unique environment, which is exceptionally rich in bio diversity that has made this region one of the finest tourist destinations of Nepal for many years. The majestic Himalayan ranges in this area consist of cultural diversities and natural scenery with high altitude romantic glacier lakes and fascinating flora and fauna, all features of this region, have made it one of the most well liked places of Nepal
The Tibetans of the upper Bhudi Gandaki are direct descendants of Tibetan immigrations. Their speech, dress and customs are almost similar to Tibetan people. There is still continues trade between Nupri, the inhabitants living in the upper Bhudi Gandaki region. In low region there are many other castes of peoples like Brahmans, Chhetries, Newars, Ghales, Gurungs, and Tamangs. There are other so called untouchable groups in large number which called (Kami: - Blacksmiths, Sarki: - Cobblers and Damaies: - tailors.)
Because much of this trek in a region of strong Tibetan influenced, many places have Tibetan names. The Tibetan ranges are even closer in the borderline ranges in this region.
