About this tour
Manaslu Circuit Trek is one of the most spectacular and challenging treks in Nepal, attracting adventurers from around the world. It takes trekkers on a 16-day journey through stunning landscapes, offering breathtaking views of the towering Mt. Manaslu (8,163m), the eighth-highest mountain in the world. This trek is perfect for those who want to explore Himalayas in Nepal up close and experience a range of cultures and natural beauty.
The trek begins along the Budhi Gandaki River, passing through lush valleys and picturesque villages. Along the way, trekkers experience the charm of local communities, including Hindu Newars and Buddhist Gurungs. As you climb higher, the landscape transforms into dramatic mountain views, with peaks like Manaslu, Annapurna, Gangapurna, Himal Chuli, and Ganesh Himal dominating the skyline. The trek also offers glimpses of wildlife such as the elusive Snow Leopard, Tahr, and Blue Sheep, adding an element of adventure to the journey.
One of the highlights of the Manaslu Circuit Trek is the challenging ascent to Larke La Pass (5,167m), which is the highest point of the trek. From here, trekkers can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges. After reaching the pass, the trail descends into the Annapurna region, showcasing beautiful glaciers and diverse landscapes as you make your way down. The trek ends in the village of Tal, where a jeep ride takes you back to Kathmandu.
The Manaslu Circuit Trek is a 170 km journey that requires a good level of fitness, as the trail involves ascending through dense forests, crossing high-altitude passes, and navigating steep terrain. Along the way, trekkers are surrounded by lush greenery, alpine meadows, and towering peaks, making it a truly immersive experience in the Himalayas.
