Arvīds Barānovs, award winning photographer and head of Eaglewood Pictures, explores Manaslu, a mountain within the Nepalese Himalayas. Manaslu, at 8,163 meters (26,781 feet), is the eighth highest mountain in the world. The mountain stands proudly over Budhi Gandaki valley. At the peak of the mountain, one can gaze upon the adjacent Annapurna mountain range and Tibetan plateau. As one climbs the mountain, they will encounter many small tea houses along the way. Climbers often stop there to have a cup of tea and eat dal bhat, a staple dish of rice and lentils. Manaslu is inhabited by the Tsum and Nubri peoples, whose ways of life are rooted in Buddhism and Tibetan culture. The local people live traditionally and farm barley, maize and oats, in addition to cultivating nuts and fruits.
Our way around the World's 8th tallest mountain - Manaslu in Nepal. Sharing the path with mules, yaks, an odd stray dog and beautiful hard working people enriched by layers of cultural heritage amongst a literally breathtaking scenery that are the Himalayas - the roof of the World.
