The Manaslu Region, which lies in the west-central part of Nepal, is very popular as an off-the-beaten-track trekking destination for those trekkers who really love the adventure trek. This Manaslu region lies in the lap of Mt. Manaslu, the eighth-highest mountain in the world, with an elevation of 8,156m. The area offers a good mixture of diverse cultures and fantastic Himalayan scenery. The trail follows the Budhi Gandaki flow and passes through the winding, narrow gorge between the Manaslu and Ganesh Himal ranges. The trek descends towards the Marsyangdi valley after crossing the Larkey La pass (5200 m) with a breathtaking view of smiling Himlung Himal, the Annapurna range, and several other snow-capped peaks.
Since the Manaslu region is an untouched trekking destination, the Nepalese government provided permission to explore this region only after AD. The Government of Nepal declared Manaslu as the Manaslu Conservation Area in December 1998 with an area of 1,663 square kilometers. The main objective of this project is to play a vital role in conserving the essence of natural resources, cultural heritage, and unique flora and fauna scattered within the area. This is the best destination for promoting eco-tourism. Most of the people in this area maintain their livelihood through the movement of trekking and expeditions. Exploring the Manaslu region not only provides you with a very unique experience of the white Himalayas but also provides a real glimpse of rural Nepal with its unique blend of nature and culture. This region was a completely camping trekking trail till a few years ago. The continuous flow of trekkers encouraged the locals to operate several teahouses with internet and telephone facilities. This has reduced the high cost and can be explored by budgeted tourists too.
The local communities in the Manaslu region of Nepal regard Mount Manaslu in the form of a “Holy Spirit Mountain” and worship in the form of spiritual deities. There are several magnificent views of Mt. Manaslu, Mount Himchuli, Ganesh Himal, Sringi Himal, Naike Peak, Larke Peak, Kangaroo Himal, Cheo Himal, Ratna Chuli, etc. The trail of the Manaslu region passes through a dense forest of colorful rhododendron and thick bamboo trees; observing the Buddhist prayer flags on top, several Mani walls, chorten, etc. Most of the people in this region are Buddhist since they follow Tibetan Buddhist non-violence culture. They prohibit hunting and killing animals. This culture has been preserving several wild lives around the Manaslu region.
