Mighty Manaslu (8,156m) stands like a timeless sentry between Tibet and Nepal. This epic trip circumnavigates the entire massif. As we walk the gentle Somrie khola river valley, with its Tamang and Chhetri village, we see sal and pine forests. Next we travel high up the Buri Gandaki river shere the small villages are inhabitated by Sherpa people. In Sansgaon athe people are gurung, living in a Sherpa lifestyle and speaking Sherpa/Gurung language. The landscape becomes more barren and th eonly visible inhabitants are the crows and eagles overhead. A fine trip for those seeking an unspoilt, tranquil Himal.
