MANASLU AERA
    
Located at the north of Gorkha and extending length
border Tibetan, treks in the National park Manaslu (8153m) are among most attractive.
The local population of stock Tibetan perpetuates her traditions, in these furrowed moved back areas of walls
with prayer and small monasteries.
The natural beauty and the ethnic diversity of Manaslu are comparable with those of Annapurna but the circuit
is attended less because it is protected and is not authorized that since 1991. Its frequentation is subjected to a specific regulation.
 

Manaslu 8153m

 DU MANASLU WITH GANESH HIMAL
Shorter than the turn of Manaslu, this trek is with the range of all good walkers. With a maximum altitude of 4000m, it makes it possible to appreciate the pastoral life of Gurungs villages, to cross large forests of oaks and of rhododendrons and to have a panoramic sight on the Himalayan chain.

 

 AROUND MANASLU

The paths which circumvent the solid mass of Manaslu make us progress within a very wild framework and authenticates, this being due to the fact that this area was open only recently to the walkers. Fauna, the flora and the geography of the ground are rather similar to those of the turn of Annapurna but they are especially the inhabitants, their traditions and the architecture of the villages which make the originality and the specificity of these valleys.
The villagers met after Nyak are indeed primarily Tibetans (naturalized Nepalese) of which a great part fled the Chinese invasion of Tibet 40 years ago. They do not speak so to speak Nepalese and all the traditions Tibetans preserved.

Key periods: the authenticity of the villages of Samdo and Samagaon to the foot of Manaslu, the passage
of Larkya pass (5213m), all diversities met while descending the valley from Marsyangdi Khola, seen in particular
on Ngadi Chuli (7800m), Peak 29 (7887m), the Buddha Himal (6850m).

 LAPRAK, GURUNG VILLAGE
At 3 days of walk in the north of Gorkha, historical city, it is by little attended paths that we propose to you to go
to discover the village Gurung de Laprak (2200 m). Left another time, this large village of more than 500 houses and 2400 inhabitants will plunge you in a Buddhist culture and strong ancestral traditions. We are with a few miles of the imposing solid mass of Manaslu (8153m) and the tops which compose: Ngadi Chile (7800m), the Buddha Himal (6843m) and Peak 29 (7887m) are the backdrop of a way which curves between terraces, rhododendrons and Gurung villages. The route discovered, with its stages shorter and its 2 nights spent with Laprak, make of it a circuit more ethnological and accessible to all (max. altitude 2700m).

Key periods: a true dive in another world, another time, far from the paths beaten.
