Manaslu Larkey Pass Trek:
Mt. Manaslu, at 8,156 meters, the eighth highest point on earth. Manaslu was attempted by Japanese expeditions every year from 1950 until 1956. The first ascent of Manaslu was scaled by Japanese expedition in 1956. However this area has been opened to trekkers only since 1991. Much of the information about this area is available only with Japanese. So it became known as “Japanese Mountain.” This trek route is remote and rescue facilities, which are harder than most in Nepal. In many places the wall of Bhudi Gandaki valley are steep, so we can walk along the bottom of the valley. There is a huge amount of wasted of climbing involved in the beginning of first 10 days as we climb up and down over the ridges and bypass the lofty cliff. The trail is rough and it often literally hangs on a bluff high above the river. The trek is geographically spectacular, culturally fascinating and traverse a strong living Tibetan cultural environment and spectacular wilderness. Moreover, Larke La (5100 m) is certainly an unforgettable pass crossing in Nepal Himalayan. This trek starts either from Trishuli, Arughat and Gorkha and ends at Besisahar.

There is still continues trade between Nupri, the inhabitants living in the upper Bhudi Gandaki region. In low region there are many other castes of peoples
Like Brahmans, Chhetries, Newars, Ghales, Gurungs, Tamangs. There are other untouchable groups in large number, which called (Kami: - Blacksmiths, Sarki: - Cobblers and Damaies: - tailors.)
