Manaslu Base Camp treks are the most diverse trekking in Nepal. When it was lunch in 1991, the original length is 175 km from Arughat to Beshi-Sahar, where the Annapurna circuit trek starts.

 Nepal Manaslu Trekking trail is full of rich culture, tradition, adventurous excursions, natural scenic beauty, and rural civilization representing the ancient Tibetan lifestyle. Due to the newly opened trail restricting trekking policy, Manaslu ridge and its surroundings offer a chance to explore the full range of Nepal's rich natural and cultural heritage.

Annapurna and Everest are the two most visited trekking areas because of their years-long popularity. Manaslu is open in the early 1990s for trekking.

Manaslu - 8th Highest Mountain of the World

Manaslu is the Eight Highest Mountain in the world and 7th of Nepal, with a staggering 8163 m high. These 8000ers are the major attraction of the Manaslu Base Camp trek, among other mountains that you experience along the trekking trail.

Since the first climber is Japanese, this mountain is also locally called Japanese Peak. The highest point of the Mansiri Himalayas range is commonly known as Manaslu Himalayas Range. Manaslu comes from a Sanskrit name meaning Mountain of the Spirit. With the successful summit in 1956 by Toshio Imasishi and Gyalzen Norbu: Japanese-Nepalese climbing team, Manaslu becomes the pride symbol for the Japanese, similar to the British with Mt. Everest.

Where is Manaslu Mountain?

This iconic Peak lies in the northern Mid Himalayan range of western central Gorkha District, Nepal. Mount Manaslu stands out as the Eighth Highest Mountain in the world and the 7th of Nepal.
