The Manaslu Region, located in the northern Himalayan region of Nepal, provides one of the most amazing trekking locations in the county. The word Manaslu originated from the Sanskrit term “Manaslu” “Intellect” or “Soul.”  This 12 -13 Days MANASLU TREKS takes you deep into the mountain ranges all over the Manaslu Conservation Area, where you can marvel at the amazing view of Manaslu, the planet’s 8th tallest mountain at 8163 meters. Other mountains you’ll view include Buddha Himal, Himal Chuli Peak, Ganesh Himal to the east, and Annapurna Himalaya to the west. The Manaslu region is one of the most achievable treks from Kathmandu city, situated to the west-central region of  Nepalese Himalayas. 

You can reach the starting and end point of the hike after an 8 to 10- hour drive from Kathmandu on a mix of paved and dirt roads. This difficult but attractive road journey takes you through the Nepali countryside, crossing little towns, terraced fields, flowing rivers, verdant hills, and snow-capped peaks in the distance. It has not been long since the Manaslu Trek unclosed its doors to adventurers, and it did not take long for the region to acquire fame. Currently, many avid trekkers from all over the world select the Manaslu Trek that is 12-13 days as their upcoming mountain range expedition. Why would they not?
