Manaslu Trek 21 4 5135m October to May
 
Manaslu is a fascinating course well-known as the three mountain peaks. It is a well loved trek from Gorkha, crossing the snow-covered Larkya La (5135m), the highest point of the route and the most dramatic Himalayan pass crossing, descends to the Marsyangdi River, making a semi-circular tour around the three peaks of Manaslu. This trek route was officially opened to tourists in 1991and is harder than any other treks in Nepal though the Larkya La pass is not so difficult, but it becomes sometime impassable after November. So it is recommended to do this trek immediately after the monsoon- in the second week of September and October. The trail is rough and steep and it often hangs on a bluff high above the river. Remote and out of reach of rescue facilities or bailing opportunities, the route is not recommendable if you have the tendency towards acrophobia. You must be in good health and have extra days for rest during the trek. The trek is geographically superb and culturally fascinating with very strong Tibetan influence.
