This
trek was officially opened to tourist in 1991,
But mountaineering expeditions have had long access
to the area. In 1950, a party led by HW. Tillman trekked
from Thonje to Bimtang and Col. Jimmy Roberts crossed
Larkya La looking for an interesting mountain to climb.
Manaslu (8156m) was attempted 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 Manaslu until 1971. A
few trekkers, including peripatetic Hugh Swift, managed
to obtain the trekking permit for the region, but otherwise
this trek always has been the domain of the mountaineering
expeditions. The journey around 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.
