The Manaslu trek is one of the finest & most scenically spectacular in Nepal. This guide records the paths, villages, valleys & mountains seen along the way, yet it is not intended to take from the reader any of the mystery or surprise that such a diverse region holds. The Manaslu Himal is presently restricted to group trekkers; a number of those who venture there will no doubt be first-time visitors to the Himalaya. Information set out in this book will give an idea of what to expect
- of the preparation required before going, the physical demands of the route & a hint of the rewards to be won every single day. Day by day the trek reveals scenes of outstanding natural beauty, yet it is not only the visual splendour of a Himalayan paradise that will be remembered years after, but the smiles of local people met upon the way, their simplicity & their spirituality. A cry of ' Namaste' rings in the air
- 'I salute the god within you'. Such a greeting will enrich each hour & accompany every vision of glory. This book, along with others in a series of trekking guides to Nepal by the same author & publisher, has not been produced with the aim of encouraging more trekkers to explore the trails of this Himalayan wonderl&, but in the hope of adding something to the experience of those already committed to going there. Being forewarned about the nature of the route & the seriousness of some of the trails is a way of reminding potential trekkers that in order to make the most of every hour of the journey it is essential to be both physically & mentally prepared. ' The art of Himalayan travel', said W.H. Murray, 'is the art of being bold enough to enjoy life now.'
