Itinerary
Pristine
mountain views, rich culture and genuine adventure sum up the trek experience
to the base of Mt. Manasalu. Opened in 1992, this area offers a combination
of rich culture heritage, unsurpassed beauty and biological diversity.
Beginning in Gorkha, home of the celebrated Gorkha soldiers, visit the
ancient palace of King Prithivi Narayan Shah. Soon after civilisation
fades and we glimpse ancient villages, observing the simple agricultural
habits of its people. From here, begin your ascent through the Gandaki
River valley, fed by innumerable rivers and waterfalls and plunge into
its bathing pools. From here, the strenuous section begins and yaks
begin to outnumber people in a rocky landscape. In Samagoan (3450m.),
visit the glacial green lake of Birendra, before crossing into mystic
Samdo, a mere 15 km from the Tibetan border. Here, Tibetan monks inhabit
sacred monasteries. There, combined with the views of Tibetan plateaux
against stark white Himalayas makes this a truly spiritual place. Continuing,
more monasteries await you in Larkya Bazaar, along with your biggest
challenge - crossing Larkya pass. Snow covered peaks reaching over 6500
mt, demand your utmost respect as you are crossing, quite literally,
the top of the world. The relaxing descent will take you through alpine,
tropical areas, bursting with ferns, bamboo's, pine, waterfalls and
aqua-blue green lakes laced with cotton-white beaches. Finally, the
Manasalu will disappear behind you as you descend to Beshishar (832m.).
This 3 week's excursion will leave you with a sense of peace and respect
for the people of Nepal and its ecological wonders.
