Manaslu Circuit Trek
Panoramic view of mountains that amazes a trekker like you is found mostly in Manaslu Circuit Trek, which is also home to a unique culture of the Nupri people, small settlements of the Gurung and Tamang people, and a lush forest of rhododendron, pine, cedar, birch, and juniper. Although this trek means circle, if you translate from Nepali into English, it will be “Mountain of Spirit,” it used to be run only as a camping trek in the early 90s, but with time and with the opening of lodges, it became a tea-house trek. Along with this change, it became popular among the trekkers. Another reason for their popularity is that they take them to the midst of the wild and remote terrain and are in front of the massive snow-covered mountains that are likely to touch the world’s clearest sky.
Since the Manaslu Circuit Trek comes under the category of an off-beaten trek, solitude is its characteristic. And when it comes to terminology, the name Manaslu Circuit Trek came from Mt. Manaslu, the world’s eighth-highest mountain. Apart from this massive structure, other mountains, such as Sringi, Himlung, Cheo, Gyagi Kung, Kang Koru, and Annapurna II are no less because they decorate and beautify lonely trekking trail of Manaslu Circuit Trek that later connects to the ancient salt trading route, which tells you about the regional history as you trek; this is also the trekking trail that heads off to the BudhiGandaki River that leads to the symbolic religious objects, such as many stone-wall, and that directs you to the region of wildlife, which is home to endangered species, such as snow leopard. Further, the fluttering of colorful prayer flags enhances the beauty of this trekking trail in the most desirable way.
One of the main highlights of the Manaslu Circuit Trek is the Larkya La Pass, which is your highest achievement in trekking and in seeing the breath-taking view, especially of the glaciers and icefalls around the mountains, such as Manaslu and Himlung.
