Description
Embark on a 19-day trek to the 8th highest mountain in the world, Mt. Manaslu. Explore the Manaslu Conservation Area and discover the region's incredible Himalayan beauty and wonderful Tibetan culture
Embark on a 19-day trek to the Manaslu Conservation Area, a restricted area that was opened up to the public about 20 years ago. Only a limited number of visitors are allowed to enter each year to maintain the unique culture for generations to come. Explore this incredible area and preserve the unique Tibetan culture.
Situated very close to the border of Nepal is Mt. Manaslu, the 8th highest mountain in the world. Rising to an elevation of 8,163 meters, it is worshipped locally as Spirit Mountain. In its magnificent shadow to the north are villages of people who are originally from Tibet.
Practising the ancient Tibetan Buddhist religion, these people are living the culture of Tibet as practised before the Chinese invasion of their homeland to the north. This region features both incredible Himalayan beauty and wonderful Tibetan culture in an unspoilt setting.
The stone villages have terraced farms separated by dense forests. There are amazing snow-capped peaks, wild rivers that rush over boulders on their way to India, colorful wildflowers and very friendly people who enjoy meeting visitors as they welcome you into their homes.
