Mt. Manasalu Round Trek

01 / THE EXPERIENCE

Discover the journey

The first official announcement of the opening of this trek was made in 1991, but mountaineering expeditions have had long access to the area. In 1950, a group led by HW.Tilman trekked from Thonje to Bimtang and Col. Jimmy Roberts crossed Larkya La in reach of an interesting mountain to climb. Manaslu 18156m) was attempted by Japanese Expeditions team every year from 1952 till 1956, when the first successful ascent was made. It then popularly came to be known as "Japanese Mountain", much of the information about the area was available in Japanese. The Japanese continued to dom¬inate the climbing scene of Manslu until 1971. A few trekkers, including peripatetic Hugh Swift, managed to obtain the trekking permit for the region, but otherwise this trek always has been the domain of the moun¬taineering expeditions.The journey around these legendary mountains is enjoyable and tough. Beginning from Gorkha Budi Gandaki valley river, over Larkya La pass, and descend to the Marsyandi River, we will trek down to Besi Shahar, from where we will drive back to Kathmandu.
