The Manaslu Circuit Trek offers a challenging yet stunning adventure in the Manaslu region of Nepal, located northwest of Kathmandu. Known for its breathtaking Himalayan scenery, some argue it rivals the beauty of the Everest and Annapurna regions, but with far fewer visitors. The trek also offers a rich cultural experience, with traditional villages and monasteries heavily influenced by Tibetan Buddhism. The trek’s highest point and greatest challenge is crossing the Larke Pass at 5,160 meters, where you’ll be rewarded with incredible views of Mt. Manaslu, the world’s seventh-highest peak at 8,156 meters. This region, which opened to trekkers in 1992, has recently become more accessible with teahouse accommodations. The journey begins in the Budi Gandaki Valley, featuring lush hills, waterfalls, and bamboo forests. As the trail progresses, it becomes steeper and more rugged. Along the way, you’ll pass through villages like Samagaon and Samdo, adorned with vibrant monasteries and prayer flags. After crossing the Larke Pass, the trek descends to the Marshyangdi River Valley, passing through Bimthang before concluding. For more information, feel free to reach out to us.
