This spectacular and isolated circular trek skirts around the eighth highest

mountain in the world, the formidable Mount Manaslu (8,163m). We follow the

mighty Buri Gandaki River as it narrows into a spectacular gorge, passing

through tiny villages perched on the valley sides. Eventually the gorge opens

out into alpine meadows which are inhabited by a cluster of Tibetan

communities below Manaslu's north face. Crossing the Larkya Pass (5,130m) we

see the snow-capped peaks of Himalchuli, Manaslu, Cheo Himal and Himlung

Himal, before descending through forest to join the main Annapurna Circuit

route.
