Overview
Mt. Manaslu is located in the northern part of Gorkha District of Nepal. Rising to an elevation of 8,163 meters (26,781 ft.), it is the 8th highest mountain in the world. The local people consider it a place of the spirit.The mountain is worshiped by those who live in its shadow. Of special interest are communities of Tibetan people who have lived on the north side of Mt. Manaslu for hundreds of years.
The Tibetan people practice a traditional form of Tibetan Buddhism that is not easily found in Tibetan China.
The journey follows the wild Budhi Gandaki River upstream as you ascend the trail toward Mt. Manaslu. The beautiful snow capped peaks of the Himalayas are in sight every day of this trip.
The journey will traverse several ecological zones, hot springs, ice-cold glacial fed streams and various ethnic groups who call this region home. Eagles fly overhead as you gaze down into deep canyons.
