Manaslu Trek

Manaslu comes from the Sanskrit word "Manasa", translated as "Mountain of the Spirit". It's a very steep, sharp peak that dominates the landscape 40 miles east of Annapurna. The Manaslu area lie in the north of Nepal adjacent to the Tibetan Border and to the east of the Annapurna Region; the main town and access point to the district is Gorkha.

Manaslu is the world’s seventh highest mountain and has a worthy neighbor in the form of the greater Annapurna range. The area is relatively unknown to trekkers.
Manaslu appear from a distance as a giant barrier of jagged shimmering mountains hanging above the ground and only attached to the earth by thin slivers of mist. The foothills and lower valleys support 'paddy' terraces while water buffalo still play their part in pulling the plough, providing milk and meat. The local homes dotted all around the hillsides are thatched and painted in the traditional manner.
