MANASLU
ROUND & THORONG -LA
Much of the appeal of trekking around Manaslu
(26,757 ft.), the world’s ninth highest
peak is that it is indeed well of-the beaten track.
Walking up along the Buri Gandaki from Gorkha,
we meet Chettries and Bahuna in the low land,
Gurungs in the mid regions, and Bhotiyas, a Tibetan
– speaking people in its northern extent.
The terrain varies from sub-tropical to high alpine,
and above all is the mountains, Mt. Manaslu rises
supreme in an Himal that boasts Boudha Peak, Himal
Chuli (25,895ft) Peak 29 then Manaslu itself,
North Peak and Larkya Peak. Entering the Sama
Valley we pass through Samo Village (12,795 ft.)
noted for it is near by monastery to the high
settlement of Larkya Bazar. Cross Larkya La at
17,103 ft. accompanied by a panorama of the Manaslu
Himal, and in the distance the Annapurna Himal
& Thorong-La. We end this trek in Pokhara.
