The Government of Nepal opened Manaslu to trekkers only in 1992. Until then the area was a virgin land with unspoilt beauty. However, even today Manaslu has kept its beauty intact and continues to be a unsurpassable trekking destination.
Manaslu is named after the famous Mt. Manaslu , which at a height of 8118m is the world’s 8th highest peak. The Gurung, Magar, Bhote(Tibetan) and Tamang tribes are the main inhabitants of Manaslu.
