Trekking around Manaslu offers an unique opportunity to experience relatively "untouched" region of Nepal. Opened for trekking only in 1991, it provides spectacular beauty along the border of Nepal and China and is now a controlled trekking route which requires special permits to organize trekking groups to venture round its spectacular circuit. It is located in west central part of Nepal. The 177-km trek around Manaslu, provides strong walkers the best that Nepal has to offer: Fantastic mountain scenery, spanning altitudes from 375 m to 5.300 meter, a diverse range of ecosystems and ethnic cultures, and a trail that puts closer to Tibet than any other trek in Nepal.
The standard 21-day hike usually begins in Gorkha but for those preferring a longer trek, the winding road to Trisuli becomes the preface to this exciting walk because of its isolation and newness to tourism, this trip must be done as a full service trek through an official trekking company. All supplies necessary for the trip (including food and kerosene) must be carried in and all rubbish must be portaged out.
