Tour Overview

Visit a less crowded and more remote region of the Himalayas. The Manaslu Circuit trek via Larkya La Pass is a high altitude trek abundant in natural beauty, Tibetan culture, and exquisite panoramic scenes of the iconic Mt Manaslu (8163m & world’s 8th highest mountain). Gaining in popularity by every year and dubbed by many 'The New Annapurna Trekking Route' in terms of its overall appeal, the less crowded Manaslu trek remains truly its reputation as an outstanding wilderness and great experience even as local tea houses along the route have made the trek easier in recent years from the perspective of normal teahouse accommodation and basic food needs along the tail. This trek still remains far visit fewer trekkers than some of the better-known trekking trails through the mountains while offering all the classic aspects of the best trek, from cascading Budhi Gandaki rivers and precipitous trails, amazing views, and subtropical forests, glorious mountain scenery and a gradual ascent to a breath-snatching high pass, and a host of side trips and add-ons that have the scope to turn the experience into an epic Manaslu Circuit journey. Mt. Manaslu is the 8th highest mountain in the world, the seventh highest mountain in Nepal and the highest mountain in this region. It falls inside the Manaslu Conservation Area (MCAP).

Ganesh Himal Range, Himal Chuli, and many Himalayas peak. The highest point our trek at Larkya La Pass at 5106 m, might challenge you physically; however, the giant Himalayas will be the reason you never stop. Witnessing the Gurung and Tibetan culture will be another feature of the Manaslu trek 11 Days Manaslu Circuit Trek is for those who would love to experience changing Himalaya landscapes and different cultures over the course of one trip.

Great Trek

22-Nov-2019

Great experience. If you're don’t mind somewhat basic lodging conditions, you'll not be disappointed. Landscapes are so dramatics, with beautiful little villages and less trekkers. Do it before it becomes too popular!

MANASLU CIRCUIT TREK IN APRIL

24-Oct-2019

Manaslu Trek is really exciting trek, I have been hiking for quite few years, and on this trek walked through almost all terrain encountered previously. Yet, it is not overly demanding physically and has no technical difficulties. Exposure to different peoples and cultures also leaves a lasting impression.

Kennedy

Great Trek

02-Sep-2019

Manaslu Circuit was delightful and changed with a lot of Mountain sees, evendors thought the climate was blended during the trek. The trek was great and challenging, however in every case well justified, despite all the trouble. Everything was well organized and our guide was incredibly useful and knowledgeable which made the hike considerably progressively pleasant.

Nolan

Do Manaslu Trekking

09-Oct-2019

It was a very beautiful trek regardless of how far you get. Unfortunately, we had too much snow for some couple of days. But after that we had better weather afterward. The scenery was mind blowing. It's awesome seeing the change in culture as you get closer to the Tibetan border.
