Manaslu Region

Manaslu Region is also among one of the most beautiful regions in Nepal with few trekkers. It is located in western Himalayas and is a home of a mountain, Mount Manaslu (8,163 m), the eighth tallest mountain in the world. It is a place with an ideal combination of natural beauty and adventure as well as culture. Adventure Tansen Trek allows you to safely and comfortably explore the Manaslu area, trekking through remote valleys, ancient villages, and scenic mountain landscapes.

Journey Around Mount Manaslu

The adventure in the Manaslu Region starts by scenic drive starting Kathmandu to Soti Khola, the initial location of the trek. You continue on this trail along the Budhi Gandaki River, passing over suspension bridges, small villages, and terraced fields. There are new perspectives and a greater attachment to nature every day. The trail enters the villages such as Machha Khola, Jagat, Deng, and Namrung where you can take a break and enjoy the village hospitality.

Higher on, you come to Lho, and Sama Gaon, two of the most beautiful villages around. These villages are connected with green fields, ancient monasteries and snowy mountains. At Sama Gaon, you have a chance to have a close view of the mountain Manaslu and to visit Pungyen Gompa which is a serene monastery with amazing view of the valley. You can also visit Manaslu Base Camp and stand in front of the peak itself with Adventure Tansen Trek.

Crossing the Larkya La Pass

The Lorkya La Pass (5,160 m) is the most beautiful and is the most exciting part of Manaslu Circuit Trek as it is one of the high passes in Nepal. The ascent is not easy but worthwhile. At the summit, there are panoramic views of Himalchuli, Cheo Himal, Annapurna II and Manaslu. This descent carries you into the Annapurna region, wherein the terrain gradually transforms into green forested and agricultural landscapes.
