The Lower Manaslu Trek is an extraordinary journey for cultural, adventure, historical, and natural seekers. The lower Manasalu region trekking is immersing themselves in the rich tapestry of Nepalese local life. this trek offers a unique window into the ancient history and majestic landscapes of storied mountainous terrain.
Lower Manaslu Trek presents an enticing alternative to the more popular routes in the Manaslu region, showcasing historical, religious, ecological, and cultural significance alongside breathtaking mountain vistas. Despite possessing all the attributes to become a favored tourist destination in Nepal, the region experiences a scarcity of visitors due to the introduction of a new trekking route.
Diverging from the Manaslu circuit trek, the Lower Manaslu route offers a balanced blend of moderate trekking, historical excursions, pilgrimage opportunities, agro-tourism experiences, and the chance to stay in community lodges or homestays. The amiable locals of the Lower Manaslu area extend warm hospitality to visitors. Noteworthy is the historical context of the 17th century, when King Prithvi Narayan Shah governed Gorkha, founding the Shah Dynasty that ruled Nepal for 240 years, unifying the nation into a single kingdom.
Commencing near the renowned Manakamana Temple in Piplechhap, the Lower Manaslu Trek winds through Gorkha Bazaar, Sirandanda, Barpak, Laprak, Nambai Kharka, and Dharchye Danda before concluding at Gyampesal. Accommodation primarily consists of homestays or camping, as conventional lodgings are limited along this trekking route.
Dharchye Danda emerges as a significant vantage point, providing a sweeping panoramic view of the Himalayas, including Langtang, Ganesh Himal, Buddha Himal, Himalchuli, Manaslu, Annapurna, and other majestic summits.

Easy and informative guided tour about Nepalese & Kathmandu culture - Kapil is a nice and informative guy, knows a lot about the city, history, culture and religion. You can ask him nearly anything and he seemed to be interested in... read more us as well, and told us about his personal life as well. He connects easily with people around the area, gets conversations going, which makes the trip really nice. I would totally recommend the daily tour through Kathmandu as well.
