The dramatic landscape of the Manaslu Base Camp is a trek truly off the beaten track! While on the trip we get to marvel at the magnificent views of Mt. Manaslu (8163 m), the eighth tallest mountain in the world, coupled with a chance to witness the rich local heritage and biological diversity of the region. The highest point of this trek is the Manaslu Base Camp, 4800 m amsl. Much of the trek involves walking on mountain trails and is within the capabilities of people with good fitness. Still, it is important to note that trekking at altitudes above 3000 m/10,000 ft is more demanding on the body than walking at low elevations. The trek starts at the town of Put Machhakhola, passing through bamboo forests and Gurung villages in the narrow Buri Gandaki gorge. After Lho village we enter the Nupri region inhabited by Tibetan immigrants, where you will see colorful prayer flags, mani walls, and monasteries along the way.
