The Feel of Nagasaki
My sleep schedule is fixed! I went to bed at 23:00 on Sunday and woke up at 7:00 rested and energised. Unfortunately, I had a little cat sleeping on me who refused to be moved meaning I still had to lie in bed for half an hour until she allowed me to get up to shower.

Manaslu Circuit Trek
The 11 nights 12 days trek in the Manaslu conservation area of Gorkha district is one of the best multi day trek that trekkers can do in Nepal. Manaslu Circuit Trek is an incredible choice for off-the-beaten-path lovers. It is the best alternative for those who want to avoid the more touristic trails like Annapurna and Everest. Mt Manaslu, with a height of 8,163m, is the main attraction of the trek, and the trails encircle the Mt Manaslu clockwise, so it is called the Manaslu circuit trek. With the Mt Manaslu trekkers can see the peaks like as Mt Manaslu 8163 m (26,781 ft), Himalchuli (7,893 m (25,896 ft), Ngadi Chuli 7,871 m (25,823 ft), Buddha Himal 6672 m (21889 ft), Cheo Himal 6,820 m (22,375 ft), Manaslu North 7,157 m (23,446 ft), Samdo Peak 5,177 m (16985 ft), Naike Peak 6,211 m (20,377 ft), Larke Peak 6,249 m (20,505 ft) and many more.
