Hiking Manaslu Circuit with Larke Pass

It is a wide open valley amid parades of peaks. We drive out to Kathmandu via Besisahar to end the Manaslu hike. It is a journey of a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will leave you breathless.
Witness the Rich Tibetan Culture
Most of the Manaslu Circuit Trek takes place in a region known as Nupri. This region bears a significant Tibetan influence. It is a historical trade route between Nepal and Tibet. This Manaslu region in Nepal is home to some rare animals. It includes snow leopards, grey wolves, musk deer, Himalayan Thar, and blue sheep. It also displays a diverse range of ethnic groups with rich cultures. Magar and Chhetri communities inhabit the lower altitude regions. Tsumba and Nubri dominate the northern high region. A noticeable cultural shift occurs from Hindu to Buddhist as we ascend. We witness Mani Walls and Chortens instead of Temple and Ghats.
