Manaslu Region

The Manaslu region lies in the central part of Nepal. The region is named derived from the eight highest mountains of the world Mt. Manaslu (8163m/26781 ft.). The word Manaslu is a Sanskrit word which means the mountain of the spirit.

In 1992, the Manaslu Region opened for tourism activities. However, this section is getting fewer tourists than Everest, Annapurna, and Langtang. It is less demanded though it’s very rich in natural beauty.

This zone lies in the Gorkha district. Lower parts of Manaslu are non-remote but the upper parts of Manaslu are very remote. You can experience wild trekking by choosing the Manaslu section in Nepal.

The upper parts of the Manaslu Region is connected with Tibet. So the government of Nepal makes this area protected. One who wants to enter upper parts of Manaslu Must have a restricted area permit. These types of permits are expensive. That’s why limited tourists are entering this zone.
The Nepal government declared Manaslu as Manaslu Conservation Area in December 1998 in order to conserve natural resources, Culture heritage, and wildlife. It is expanded at 1,663 square kilometers (642 sq mi).
