Manaslu Camping and Tea House Trekking is yet untouched trekking trail in Nepal. Which is the seventh highest mountain in the world offers a unique opportunity to experience the Manaslu and Ganesh Himal areas.Manaslu Himal is lying in the north of Nepal neighboring to the Tibetan border and the eastern Annapurna region. This region of Nepal sees few trekkers, which makes a visit here more exclusive and unspoiled. This area is relatively unknown to trekkers due to its relatively recent discovery in the 1950’s when Tilman first visited .

Manaslu Trekking

Manaslu trekking has been open since 1991, it provides spectacular beauty along the border of Nepal. And Tibet and is now a controlled trekking route, allowing organized trekking groups special permits to gain entry into this region to venture round its spectacular circuit. This is not to say that it is not famous. Not only does it has an important place among the world’s highest peaks. But also has a unique environment and exceptionally rich bio-diversity, which has made this region a fascinating destination.
The majestic Himalayan ranges in this area consist of cultural diversities. And natural scenery with high altitude romantic glacier lakes and fascinating flora and fauna, all features of this region, have made it one of the most well liked places of Nepal.

Manaslu and Ganesh Himal appear from a distant horizon to be shimmering mountains hanging. Also  attaching only to the earth by thin silvers of mist. Terraces are support by the foothills and lower valleys and water buffalo plough and provide milk and meat, reflecting the natural life of the villagers. Traditional homes found in this area are full of cultural handicrafts and paintings done in the traditional manner. During the blossoming season, bananas are abundant and cicadas gather in the trees. The trek to Manaslu through the Budhi Gandaki gorge is continuous ascents and descents. Also from which may arise a few problems for the inexperienced / new trekkers. Being an adventurous trekker however, you can meet thousands of other brave hearts irrespective of cultural difference.
