The Manaslu Circuit Trek is a breathtaking adventure in the Himalayas. The trek offers a unique and less crowded alternative to the more popular Annapurna and Everest treks. It trek is named after the eighth highest mountain, Mount Manaslu (8163m). The trek takes you through diverse landscapes, traditional villages, and stunning vistas of dazzling mountains.
Upon arrival in Kathmandu (KTM), we check the trekking gear and clothing, which are key factors in making the journey comfortable, safe, and successful. As Kathmandu city is home to many UNESCO World Heritage sites, we offer a day of sightseeing. The next day, the journey starts for trekking. The trekkers embark on a journey that promises unparalleled experiences of both natural and cultural richness. The trail winds through lush green forests, terraced fields, and picturesque villages. Sherpas, Tibetans, and Gurungs are the main inhabitants of the region, each with their own unique traditions, culture, and lifestyle. The welcoming nature of the local people makes the journey even more memorable.
The trekking route is located in the Manaslu Conservation Area, which is home to hundreds of thousands of flora and fauna. One of the highlights of the Manaslu Circuit Trek is crossing the Larkya La Pass (5160m), a challenging yet rewarding feat that offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. Throughout the trek, trekkers have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the local culture, interact with friendly people, and visit ancient monasteries. During the trek, accommodation is managed in local tea houses and comfortable lodges, which provide healthy and hygienic meals.
The trek requires a moderate to high level of fitness and stamina, but the rewards are well worth the effort. It’s essential to be well-prepared and equipped for variable weather conditions and rugged terrain. Our professional trekking guides and porters, who are well experienced and certified by the government, make your dream come true. We recommend doing the Manaslu Circuit Trek during the months of spring and autumn. During these times, the weather is favorable and stable, presenting clear skies.
