The Manaslu region is a relatively new destination for trekkers as it started welcoming adventurers only since the early ’90s. Since it has not been long opened, the authenticity of the local culture and traditions can be duly experienced. The Manaslu region is bordered by the Budhi Gandaki River in the west and the Marshyangdi River in the east. Manaslu, a mountainous region in the northern part of Gorkha District, has a fragile, but diverse natural resource where a rich cultural environment thrives. The altitude of the trekking trail ranges between 1,000 and 5,200 meters above sea level. Hence, it covers a varied landscape and a wide range of bio-diversity. There's a distinct rawness in the terrain, often considered challenging by adventure enthusiasts. The trekking area is protected by the Manaslu Conservation Area project. Manaslu Conservation Area is a prime habitat for the elusive snow leopard, grey wolf, musk deer, blue sheep and the Himalayan Thar.

Manaslu has a lot to offer to the trekkers: striking landscapes, beautiful scenery of the majestic Himalayan ranges, high altitude glacial lakes, lush floral, faunal and cultural diversity. On a clear day, mountains such as Mt. Manaslu, Ganesh Himal Range, Sringi Himal, Naike Peak, Larky Peak, Cheo Himal, Ratna Chuli, Kangaroo Himal etc. can be viewed. Besides nature, Manaslu region is also famous for its culture. Majority of the people here have embraced Tibetan Buddhism. The rich cultural heritage is evident in the several large Buddhist monasteries like Shringi Gompa in Bihi, as well as Mu and Rachen Gompas in Chhekampar. On the way one can witness the traditional mani walls (stone tablets engraved with mantras), chorten or stupas and Kanis along the path (round religious structures in Tibetan Buddhism often housing relics and surrounded by prayer mills) which are of high importance to the locals.
