Manaslu is the eighth
highest peak in the world which is located in the border of
Nepal and Tibet. This area offers a combination of rich culture heritage,
unsurpassed beauty and biological diversity. The name Manaslu means
"The Spirit-Mountain" in the local dialect, referring to the
benevolent and strong deity, which dwells within. We start our journey
from Gorkah which is the home of world renowned Gurkha Soldiers. The
Manaslu circuit has its own special appeal, because it penetrates the
secret valley behind the mountain. Here villages with the names like
Li, Lo and Sho betray
the origin of a forgotten place that once lay on a busy trade route
with Tibet. Linking the valleys is the 5213 meter pass of Larkya La.
The approach and descend routes to and from this high point of our trek
afford unparallel views of mighty Manaslu and surrounded peaks.
