This area with rich in natural and cultural heritage was opened for the trekkers
very recently. The trek beginning from Gorkha. "Gorkha" the ancient kingdom of
Shah Dynasty, the home country of great Gurkha Army has a mixed culture of
Hindus and Buddhist. This is extended and
strenuous trek, circling the Manaslu range was opened to trekking in 1992 along
with Mustang. Going north, up the river valley of the Buri Gandaki and then
behind Mt. Himalchuli (7893 m.), Peak 29 (7839 m.) and Mt. Manaslu (8118 m.) to
cross the Larkya La Pass at 5213 m., this fascinating trek explores areas and
the way of life unchanged for decades and maybe, even centuries.
Region with a brilliant
mountain vistas of the Ganesh and Manaslu Himal ranges and insights into the
cultures of a cross-section of ethnic Nepalese tribes and people. The trail
passes through the villages of Khani Gaon, Setibas, Nyak, Namru and Samagaon to
cross the Larkya La (5213 m.) and then joins the river valley of the Dudh Khola.
From here, the trail heads south to the Dudh Khola's confluence with the
Marsyangdi River at the village of Thonje and continues through the villages of
Chamje and Nayagaon to Besisahar where you end your trek. This is a trek that
offers much more than mountains.
The First Attempts & Mountaineering
Expeditions
In 1960, the Swiss / Austrian expedition
who first reached the summit did so despite their airplane having crashed during
the approach. This was the first Himalayan climb supported by an airplane,
although the plane was subsequently abandoned on the mountain.
