August 22, 2023An epic Manaslu adventure, crossing Larkya La Pass
I recently had the incredible opportunity to embark on the Manaslu circuit trek. It’s not just a physical journey; it’s a soul-stirring experience that connects us to nature, culture, and our own inner strength. Our professional guide Sagar takes us through charming villages inhabited by various ethnic groups, each with its own distinct customs and traditions. He described us about the Manaslu circuit trekking route, terrain, culture, safety measure, people, culture and lifestyle nicely.
Our Manaslu trek expedition starts from Soti khola following Budhi Gandaki River. As the trek gradually ascends, the landscapes transform dramatically, leading to encounters with lush forests, roaring rivers, and charming settlements. Final ascends to cross Larkya La Pass 5,106 meters / 16,752 feet, which offers stunning views of Mount Manaslu, Himalchuli, Ganesh Himal and more. The Manaslu Circuit Trek is a truly unforgettable experience.
