Trekking in Manaslu Region |
This trek was officially opened to tourist in
1991, but mountaineering expeditions have had
long access to the area. In 1950, a party led by
HW.Tilman trekked from Thonje to Bimtang and
Col. Jimmy Roberts crossed Larkya La looking for
an interesting mountain to climb. Manaslu
(8156m) was attempted by Japanese Expeditions
every year from 1952 until 1956, when the first
ascent was made. Having become to be known as |
|
|
|
"Japanese Mountain", much of the information about the area was
available in Japanese. The Japanese continued to dominate the
climbing scene of Manaslu until 1971. A few trekkers, including
peripatetic Hugh Swift, managed to obtain the trekking permit
for the region, but otherwise this trek always has been the
domain of the mountaineering expeditions. |
