Manaslu Circuit Trek is a strenuous but spectacular excursion in the Manaslu region of Nepal, northwest of Kathmandu. Some say the Himalayan scenery here surpasses even the beauty of the Everest and Annapurna regions, and with far fewer trekkers. This walk also takes you to observe cultural appeal with its mix of traditional villages and monasteries influenced by Tibetan Buddhism.
The highest point & biggest challenge of the trek is the snowy Larke Pass at 5,160 meters. From here you enjoy an awesome view of Mt. Manaslu (8,156m), the 7th highest peak in the world. The region opened up to trekking in 1992 and only recently developed into a teahouse trek.
This trek starts in the Budi Gandaki with its green hills, waterfalls, ferns and bamboo trees. Normaly the strenuous part begins with steeper and rocky trails. We go through Samagaon, Samdo and other villages with their colorful monasteries and fluttering prayer flags. After crossing the Larke Pass, we trek down to the Marshyangdi River Valley via Bimthang and conclude the trek. Please contact us for more details.
