Gorkha, Manaslu and the Annapurna
(15 /23 Days, Camping/Hotels)
| A remote camping trek through the little-visited
foothills of Manaslu to a spectacular high alpine
lake. |
 Many of Annapurna’s Main trails are
heavily trekked, and to find quieter but equally scenic
regions often require more time than most people can spare.
Here, however, is a trek, which is both remote and quite
short, venturing into the country to the east of the Marshyangdi
River in the shadow of Manaslu and Eastern Annapurna Himals.
The hills are thickly forested and sparsely inhabited
by both the local people and Western trekkers, and as
we walk across the grain of the land we are rewarded with
excellent views of Manaslu, Lamjung and the Annapurnas,
often from the angles the few trekkers have seen. The
highpoint undoubtedly is Bara Pokhari, a small lake on
a spectacular ridge below the Manaslu Himal.
