Manaslu is the eighth highest mountain in the world at 8,163 metres above sea level located in the Mansiri Himal part of the Nepalese Himalayas. The Manaslu Circuit including Larky La Pass, is a hypnotizing trek, around the well known old Gorkha Kingdom in the mid-west of Nepal. The trek takes a route upstream of the Budi-Gandaki River, from a sub-tropical atmosphere through to the high elevation Tibetan atmosphere.
You will experience brilliant perspectives of the most astounding pinnacle, Mt. Manaslu and the mountains that straddle this part of the Himalayas between Nepal and Tibet. When we have achieved the highest point of Larky La, a declining way leads through a delightful backwoods of pines, rhododendrons, oaks and magnolia trees, meeting the Annapurna Circuit Trail. In the wake of achieving Dharapani the journey proceeds towards Besisahar, offering dazzling perspectives of Mt. Manaslu and the whole Annapurna mountain run, in particular, Mt. Lamjung then on through conventional mid slope towns. This trek is becoming increasingly well known as an elective trek inside the Annapurna area in the western part of Nepal.
