Manaslu is one of the lesser-known Himalayan sights and lies in the northern part of Nepal. Actually, the name Manaslu was named after Mt. Manaslu's eighth height peak in the world, lying on an 8,163-meter-highway that boasts pristine landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and relatively virgin trekking trails. The area falls within the Manaslu Conservation Area, rich in flora and fauna, a home for the snow leopard, red panda, and Himalayan tahr. It is also culturally very important because of the mixed culture of Tibetans and Nepalese, reflected in old monasteries, chortens, and traditional villages lining up the landscape.
Recently, the Manaslu region treks have been in great demand for adventure-seekers who wish to avoid the hoards in the Annapurna and Everest regions. Manaslu region is simply one example of majestic natural beauty amalgamated into the rich culture, joined with adventure-especially for those trekkers who enjoy off-track tours into the Himalayas.
