Manaslu Region trekking was sealed and just opened in the early 90s to foreign visitors and it has been restricted area to protect its fragile natural resources and cultural heritage and to promote ecotourism to improve the livelihood of the local people in the MCA (Manaslu Conservation Area) region. Manaslu region trek is isolated and has long been undamaged by modernity. Trekking tours in this isolated area have been extremely popular for the last few years. Those trekking enthusiastic searching for ‘wilderness and authentic village’ experiences have started to bypass the ‘Annapurna’ and hike the Manaslu route instead.
The MCAP (Manaslu Conservation Area Project) is a protected area in Nepal, established in 1998 covering 1663 km2 (642 sq mi) in the Mansiri Himalayan range of the Himalayas in the Gorkha District. It is a classic setting to experience spotless Himalayan nature and culture. The Manaslu Conservation Area starts at 600m and is covered by the eighth-highest peak in the world Mount Manaslu at 8,163m.MCAP (Manaslu Conservation Area Project) in NTB (Nepal Tourism Board) provides more information about the region.
