The second half of our round trip through Azerbaijan led us along the Greater Caucasus range. We visted the alpine zone of the Shahdag National Park around the villages Laza and Xinaliq, which produced some good views of the Caucasian specialities.

Manaslu Circuit Trekking in Nepal
AntwortenLöschenHighlights about Manaslu
Circuit Trek
• A distinctive and improved version of the classic Manaslu Circuit with spectacular scenery from start to finish
• Excellent acclimatization with rest days before ad after crossing the Larkya La
• Explore picturesque Tibetan villages full of cultural interest
• Staying in tea houses on trek and a four star hotel in Kathmandu
This trek in the shadow of the third highest mountain in the world It called Mt. Manaslu. Is the perfect alternative to the neighboring Annapurna Circuit. It has equally spectacular Himalayan scenery, an abundance of wildlife and tea house accommodation, but sees far fewer trekkers and has not become blighted with roads.
Your trek/ Hike starts at steamy Machhi Khola as you walk northward up the Buri Gandaki Valley, sometimes following the river along the valley, but more often climbing high as the trail snakes along the increasingly steep, forested gorge. From Ghap you start to climb steeply to reach your highest point, the impressive Larkya La, Pass 5,134m/16,843ft. The route to the pass offers excellent acclimatization as well as strong cultural interest with time to explore the attractive Tibetan villages of Sama Gaon and Samdo village.
As you cross the Larkya La pass, you can enjoy both a great sense of achievement and the breathtaking views of the giant peaks of the greater Himalaya on all sides. Finally you descend to Dharapani where you say a fond farewell to your nepalguideinfo and trek crew, before returning to Kathmandu.
This is truly a special cultural adventure with unbeatable big mountain scenery from first step to last.
