The area to the east of the Annapurna are the peaks of Manaslu group. Few visitors trek to this area, which makes a visit here all the more unique and unspoiled. The area is bordered by River Budhi Gandaki and to the west by River Marshyangdi. A superb 23-day trek across the Larkya La. High on the northern flanks of Manaslu and within a few miles of the Tibetan border, the Larkya La pass links the upper reaches of the Budi Gandaki valley with the Marsyangdi and is the key to completing the entire circuit of the Gorkha Himal. This area is marked by two cultural highlights: Gorkha, which is the ancestral set of the reigning Shah dyanasty and the temple of Manakamana . Since the treks in the Manaslu region originate at around 1,000 meters and reach as high as 5,200 meters, the trekker will see a wide range of flora typical of the Middle hills and alpine regions of Nepal. Manaslu, which lies in the northern part of Nepal , was officially opened to tourists in 1991. The trek is harder than most of the other Nepal treks with rough and steep trails and perpendicular valley walls, which in another way, makes it very adventurous. This trek is fascinating both geographically as well as culturally, visiting people of Tibetan origins. Plants to be seen around here are pine, rhododendron, wildlife include barking deer, pika and Himalayan marmots. Birds to be sighted in the region are pheasant, raven and chough, people of Tibetan origin inhabitant several village. Other groups found here are Gurung and Tamangs. The best time to trek here is between September and May.
