Manaslu has unique environment and exceptionally rich bio

Nepal for many years. The region consists of varieties of cultural diversities,
natural scenery of the majestic Himalayan ranges, high altitude romantic
glacier lakes and fascinating flora and fauna, all these natural and cultural
features of this region have made it one of the most popular tourist
destination of Nepal and is restricted area requiring special trekking permit to
get entry into the region for foreigners.
This trek was forbidden to the tourists till 1991. When for the first time the
Japanese Expedition team ascent the Manaslu Peak (8157m.), it became known as
"Holy Mountain". Since it is still a restricted area special permit
from the government of Nepal is needed. This trek begins from Gorkha or
Aarughat, Trishuli Bazzar or Dhading and is usually done in an well-organized
camping group too. This trek is culturally and geographically important and
fascinating. The Tibetans of the upper Budi-Gandaki, the region also known as
Nupri (the western mountains), and the Tsum Valley are direct descendants of
Tibetan immigrants. Their speech, dress and customs are exclusively Tibetan.
The trade between the area and Tibet still goes on.
