About Trip Overview
The mountainers climbing Manaslu start their trip first by heading towards Gorkha from Kathmandu. We start our journey in a reserved bus, in the morning. The whole morning the group traveses through the Prithivi Highway, which offers beautiful views of Nepalese countryside. We reach Muglin which is situated on the banks of Trishuli and Marshyangdi rivers. After having lunch in Muglin we leave for Gorkha and arrived there at 2pm. There we hand over the equipments to our porters and we preceded towards Kalikasthan which is to be our night camp site.The historical Durbar of Shaha dynasty can be reached within an hour from Gorkha which is just nearby. Gorkha Durbar is situated on the top of the hill. The glory of mountains surrounding it, attracts many tourists as well as the natives to this place. After a 10 min walk from the Gorkha Durbar we reach the Kalikathan camp. Then after having tea, we put up our tents and rest for a while until our cook announce that the dinner is ready. As we were tired from our long journey, we have a bottle of beer each and eat our dinner and then go to sleep. Like the mountaineers other expeditions also go to Manaslu each year. Since the Manaslu trek happens to be in the prohibited zone one needs a special trek permit and an environmental officer appointed by the Immigration Department while travelling in this area. As this route has been opened for only three years, few people have gotten the opportunity to travel this route. The scenery on this area is not only breathtaking but also unique and quite naturally most have said that this trek is very enjoyable.
