Pristine
mountain views, rich culture and genuine adventure sum up the trek
experience around the 8156m Manaslu. Opened in 1992, this area offers a
combination of rich culture heritag4e, 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
civilization fades and we pass though ancient villages, observing the
simple agricultural habits of its people. Then we ascend the Gandaki River
valley, 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 outnumber people in the rocky landscape. In Samagoan
(3450m) we visit the glacial green lake of Birendra, before crossing into
mystic Samdo, a mere 15km from the Tibetan border. Here Tibetan monks
inhabit sacred monasteries and combined with the views of Tibetan plateau
against stark white Himalayas makes this is a truly spiritual place.
Continuing, more monasteries await in Larkya Bazaar, along with the
biggest challenge - crossing Larkya La (pass.) This 5213m snow-covered
pass demands the utmost respect. Snow-covered peaks over 6500m tower 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 3 week excursion
will leave you with a sense of peace and respect for the people of Nepal
and its ecological wonders.
