A challenging trek around the world's eighth highest mountain. 

The trek around Manaslu (8156 m), the world’s eighth highest mountain, is a challenging trek off-the-beaten-track in an area where only a limited number of people are allowed each year. The trek starts in Gorkha and follows the Buri Gandalki Valley through lowland areas inhabited by Chetti, Bahun and Gurung people. After about one week we enter a high alpine valley with typical Tibetan villages and Buddhist monasteries In the high country we are rewarded with fantastic views of Manaslu in addition to Bauda Peak (6672 m), Himalchuli (7893 m), Peak 29 (7871 m), Manaslu North (7154 m) and Larkya Peak (7100 m). In the Sama valley we are only about 10 km from the Tibetan border and in Samagaon (3450 m) we visit the green glacial lake of Birendra before moving on to Samdo village (3900 m). We spend a day in Larkya Bazaar before crossing Larkya La (5135 m) and descend to the Annapurna Circuit trail with great views of the Annapurnas. We end our trek in Beshishar.
