Manaslu Circuit Trek
**[Manaslu Circuit Trek](https://www.treknepalhimalayas.com/trip/manaslu-circuit-trek/)**[ ](https://www.treknepalhimalayas.com/trip/manaslu-circuit-trek/)is a raw Himalayan adventure that circles Nepal’s eighth-highest peak, offering quieter trails than the popular Everest and Annapurna routes.
The journey from the lush Budhi Gandaki Valley rises through terraced hillsides, rhododendron forests, and Tibetan-style villages before cresting the dramatic 5,106-meter **[Larkya La pass.](https://www.treknepalhimalayas.com/larke-pass/)**
Along the way, you experience vivid cultural exchanges, glacier views, and chances to spot blue sheep soaring at high altitudes.
Trip Highlights
## Highlights of [Manaslu Circuit Trek](https://www.treknepalhimalayas.com/trip/manaslu-circuit-trek/)
* **Suspension-Bridge Thrills over the Budhi Gandaki**: steel spans vaulting rainforest gorges and turquoise rapids, delivering dramatic first-week vistas and seamless village links.
* **Authentic Nubri Culture**: Water-driven prayer wheels in Namrung, crimson Ribung Gompa in Lho, and yak-herding families greeting trekkers beside kilometer-long mani walls.
* **Syala’s 360° Sunrise Arena (3,480 m**): Manaslu, Himal Chuli, and Ngadi Chuli blaze pink in one sweep of the eye, widely considered the circuit’s finest panorama.
* **High-Value Acclimatisation Excursions:** Pungyen Gompa (4,000 m) beneath Manaslu’s south face and glacier-fed Birendra Lake offer textbook “climb high, sleep low” conditioning amid superb scenery.
* **Frontier Life in Samdo (3,865 m):** last permanent hamlet before Tibet, famous for yak caravans, salt-for-barley trade lore, and commanding views of Samdo Peak.
* **The trek’s ultimate achievement is Larkya La Summit Crossing (5,106 m)**: Pre-dawn snowfield ascent to a prayer-flag col revealing Cheo Himal, Himlung Himal, and distant Annapurnas.
* **Epic Descent to Bimtang (3,590 m)**: One-day transition from glacial desert past Ponkar Lake to rhododendron forest and yak pastures, rewarding lungs with thicker air and trekkers with verdant sanctuary.

FREE Jive Class
Greetings fellow/aspiring jivers.
Following recent Modern Jive dance weekenders I attended in the UK, the need to fill this glaring gap in the regional partner dance market is stronger than ever.
So, feel free to join us for a free Modern Jive lesson, and get to quickly understand why it has become the world's fastest-growing partner dance style – easy to learn, no muscle memory drills to master, danceable to your favourite contemporary pop songs, etc
Come along on April 10, whilst places are still available, and take your first steps (literally) to dance floor excellence.

PS. You do not need to come with a partner as we aim to gender-balance the group as best we can
Am I being forced to exist, or am I at ease with being here, now?
Hello everyone. This event is just a meet & greet event. Just a space to sit together. No conditions. No expectations. No agenda.
We come as we are.
As we sit, questions may arise Or they may not. If nothing arises, perhaps silence is enough.
Let us gently look within: What do I really want?
Am I truly troubled, or is it something I have assumed?
Am I being forced to exist, or am I at ease with being here, now?
Life is constantly unfolding. Events happen, thoughts move, emotions come and go. In the midst of all that is happening around us, in the region and beyond:
What can I actually control?
What truly deserves my attention?
What really matters—for myself and for those around me?
Can I be more simple, more practical, more steady in the current situation?
Does a calmer mind respond better than a restless one?
Will concern help, or does it quietly drain clarity and action?
How much of what I carry is necessary—and how much is imagined?
And more quietly:
What is the extent of “my” influence?
Where does it begin… and where does it end?
If clarity comes, let it come.
If silence remains, let it remain.
See you at La Brioche Dubai Hills Mall.

OSHO Kundalini Meditation
**Event Details**
Online via Zoom
**Timings**
UAE 4:45 PM
India 6:15 PM
UK 1:45 PM
***
### ✨ The Experience
We begin with a gentle introduction, allowing the body and mind to settle.
From there, you will be guided into a dynamic meditative journey where movement, breath, and awareness come together to release suppressed energy and restore natural flow.
The session concludes with optional sharing and reflection.
**Flow for the Session**
4:45 – 5:00 PM: Introduction
5:00 – 6:00 PM: Kundalini Meditation
Followed by Q&A (optional)
***
### 🌿 What is Active Meditation?
Many of us carry deeply held emotions, unresolved experiences, and inner tension.
When we sit in silence, these often rise to the surface, making stillness feel difficult.
OSHO Active Meditations offer a different pathway.
Through movement, shaking, and free expression, the body begins to release what has been held within. Energy begins to flow freely, rising, bringing lightness, openness, and a sense of inner freedom.
From this space, silence arises naturally—effortless and deeply nourishing.

Sunday Brunch
Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!
Humanist Program
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event.
We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be.
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online
