Manaslu trek is geographically spectacular and culturally fascinating. The inhabitants of the upper Gandaki, a region known as Nupri (‘the western mountains’), are direct descendants of Tibetan immigrants who settled here in the early 1600s. In upper Nupri the speech, dress and customs are almost exclusively Tibetan. Nupri actually paid taxes to Tibetan until about 1840 and there is still continuous trade between Nupri and Tibet. Chinese cigarettes, for example, are found more frequently than Nepali cigarettes. The mountain views in Nupri are sensational, and the Larkya La is one of the most dramatic pass crossings in the Himalaya.
