Why Choose Short Manaslu Base Camp Hike?
Off-the-beaten trekking route
The trek to the Manaslu region is through an off-the-beaten trail. It was opened not long ago for tourists, which clarifies why there are fewer trekkers on this route. Moreover, it is a restricted area as well. To preserve nature and culture, the Manaslu region is declared a restricted region. Similarly, the villages and the trail are remote and unique. The trail is not the same as ABC Trek or Annapurna Circuit Trek.
The Short Manaslu Base Camp Hike holds ancient and cultural significance. Whereas, Annapurna Trek has its charm with natural elegance. Annapurna Circuit Trek is easy to do compared with Manaslu Base Camp Trek. This is because the trail passes through several terrains in the Manalsu. However, you must have excellent health with physical preparation to complete both of these treks. Likewise, the local ethnic groups from Annapurna Trek and Manaslu Base Camp Trek are different. You will find Nurbi and Tsum people in Manalsu. Whereas, in Annapurna, you will meet the Magar and Gurung ethnic groups.
Challenging and Exciting Larkya La Pass
The Larkya La Pass is the most challenging yet popular pass among trekkers. Crossing the pass at 5100 meters is the highest point of this trek. However, the starting part of the pass is quite difficult to climb. The trail can test your strength and endurance during the climb. But, the views from the Larkya La Pass are outstanding. You can feel a sense of achievement once you cross the Larkya La Pass.
Less crowded trek for solitude trekkers
The trail in the Manaslu is excellent for solitude lovers. There are fewer tourists on this trail than on other trekking routes in Nepal. It is because of the restrictions by the government and less popularity. However, the trek takes you close to the natural serenity and its charm. It allows you to witness the beauty of nature closely. The trail is not as crowded as EBC Trek, ABC Trek, or Annapurna Circuit Trek.
Communicate with kind local People
The other reason to embark on this trekking trail is the local people and their warm hospitality. All the local people welcome you with warm Greetings by doing “Namaste”. Moreover, their hospitality is always heart-melting. In addition, notice their local way of greeting you by saying “Tashi Delek”. It means “Joyful to meet you”.
