Nepalgram tries to find new places to hike around, so far we found a hiking trail toward Yak shed at 1.5 hours away from the village and get into the peace and wilderness. To watch birds, herd of blue sheep and deer on the way is wild enough for Manaslu Circuit trek. Apart from the wilds, we will see yaks grazing all over the meadow; do not tease them, follow your guide’s instruction. If you like glacial lake, choose Birendra lake hiking as day activity; choose Manaslu Base camp if you want to do hardcore trek, or choose hike to monastery or to yak shed if you want solitude. Believe it or not, This choice will make your Manaslu Circuit trek a best trek.
