Manasalu Trek

Manaslu Trek proffers an exclusive prospect to experience a sensibly "unaffected" region of Nepal. This region of Nepal sees few trekkers, which makes a visit here more restricted and unspoiled. Manaslu trek has been open since 1991, it offers fabulous prettiness beside the border of Nepal and Tibet and is now a proscribed trekking route. Ascending the Gandaki River valley, which is fed by innumerable rivers and waterfalls, offering the chance of a plunge into some bathing pools. From here, the strenuous section begins and yaks begin to out number people in the rocky landscape. In Samagoan (3450m) we visit the glacial green lake of Birendra, before crossing into mystic Samdo, 15km from the Tibetan border. Here Tibetan monks inhabit sacred monasteries and combined with the views of the Tibetan plateau against stark white Himalayas this is a truly spiritual place. The biggest challenge then awaits - crossing the snow bound Larkya La pass (5213m). Snow-covered peaks over 6500m towers above as we cross. The descent, once off the snow, takes us through alpine then tropical areas, bursting with ferns, bamboo, pine trees, waterfalls and aqua-blue green lakes laced with cotton-white beaches. Finally, Manaslu will disappear as we descend to Beshishar (832m.) This 3week excursion will leave you with a sense of peace and respect for the people of Nepal and its ecological wonders. http://destinationhimalayatreks.com/itinary-52-manaslu-trek.html
