Manaslu region is the home of most of the Himalayan Trekking Path Pvt. Ltd. Crew! The village where we were born and raised is called Lapudanad Baseri. It is nestled in the narrow valley of the soaring, lush green hill on the riverbed of the Budi Gandaki River! Before the tea house was established in this region, our village was the second camp of the Manaslu trek. At that time, Arughat Bazzar was the starting point of the most thrilling Manaslu region trek routes, including the Manaslu Circuit trek,Tsum Manaslu Circuit trek, Manaslu Trekking, Tsum Valley Trek, and Ganesh Himal Base Camp Trek. Now, time has changed rapidly due to the road access in the Manaslu Trekking region. Therefore, those parts of the classical Manalsu Circuit trekking route have been forgotten.
