This trek was officially opened to tourist in 1991,
but mountaineering expeditions have had along access
to the area. In 1950, a party led by HW.Tilman trekked
from Thonje to Bimtang and Col. Jimmy Roberrs crossed
Larkya La looking for an interesting mountain to climb.
Manaslu (8156m)was atte3mped by Japanese expeditions
every year from 1952 until 1956, when the first ascent
was made. Having become to be known as "Japanese
Mountain", much of the information about the area
was available in Japanese. The Japanese continued to
dominate the climbing scene of the Manaslu until 1971.
A few trekkers, including peripatetic Hugh Swift, manage
to obtain the trekking permit for the region, but otherwise
this trek always has been the domain of the mountaineering
expeditions.
The journey round these legendary mountains is enjoyable
and tough.Beginning from Gorkha Buri Gandaki valley
river, over Larkya La pass, and descend to the Marshyangdi
River, you will trek down to Besi Shar, from where
we will drive back to kathmandu.
