 A trek to non tourist and remote where no
tea house available en route is perfect to explore the village
life and their culture. The trek to Manaslu is started either
from Gorkha or Dhading. While trekking, the views are stunning;
Annapurna, Manaslu, Himalchuli, peak 29 and Ganesh Himal dominate
the skyline. The trail is winding and rice paddies of the Gurung
and Magar villages along the Budhi Gandaki River valley soon
give way to steep tracks cut into the cliffs of the river gorge.
As you enter the rain shadow of Manaslu close to the Tibeaten
border, the scenery changes dramatically. Sparse forests decorated
with colorful prayer flags, and many shrines proclaim the region's
Tibetan Buddhist heritage. While the approach to Larkya La
is demanding, your reward is incomparable views of Manaslu
and Himlung Himal from the pass. A steep descent into rhododendron
forests will then bring you to the Marshyangdi River Valley
and the more traveled Annapurna trails, which lead back to
the road head or continue to another adventure of Thorong-la
pass. The itinerary given here is heading down to Besisahar
and drive to kathmandu.
