Tour du Manaslu, 18 jours

NEPALESE AGENCY FOR TREKKINGS, EXPEDITIONS AND CULTURAL CIRCUITS

AROUND MANASLU (18 DAYS)

The paths which circumvent the Manaslu massif 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) including one great part fled the Chinese invasion of Tibet 40 years ago. They do not speak
so to speak Nepalese and preserved all the traditions Tibetans.
