Manaslu Region, Nepal · 8 mindful journeys

Around the mountain of the spirit.

Manaslu sits between Annapurna and Ganesh Himal, in a restricted area that kept the roads out and the villages intact. Every trail here begins in the Budhi Gandaki gorge and ends somewhere quieter. We walk it slowly, sit each morning, and give the monasteries the time they deserve.
