Sherpa Expedition Teams27 Jun, 2022Travel

Here is an opportunity to get away from the crowds! The Manaslu region is in the Gorkha district right on the border with Tibet. Manaslu is also the 8th highest peak in the world. This region has only recently been open to tourism and offers a glimpse of amazing natural beauty, as well as exposure to the Hindu and Tibetan Buddhist culture. The trek is a visual feast of many soaring Himalayan peaks, such as Himal Chuli (7893m), Ngadi Chuli (7871m), Shringi Himal (7187m), Langpo (6965m), Saula (6235m), and of course Manaslu (8163m/26,781 ft), also known as Kutang. Manaslu in Sanskrit means Mountain of the spirit?, derived from the word Manasa, meaning ?intellect? or ?soul?.
