Manaslu Circuit Trek - 18 Days

Manaslu Circuit Trek is blended both local Buddhist culture and excellent Himalayan landscapes. The region is heaven for those adventure lovers. Manaslu Circuit Trek passes through high pass Larkya La, visiting ancient monasteries, glacial lakes, rich highland flora and fauna. Manaslu Circuit Trek begins with a scenic long drive towards Soti Khola witnessing beautiful hilly landscapes, rivers and forests. We start our Manaslu Circuit Trek from here, making our way towards Machha Khola, crossing numerous uphill and downhill roads, rivers and gorges. Further leaving beautiful culturally rich villages of Jagat, Deng and Namrung behind, we ascend through rugged trails to popular Sama Gompa (Monastery). In the similar way, after properly acclimatizing ourselves at Samdo village, we trek to Larke Bazar and cross Larkya La Pass (5135m) which will be the most challenging day of our entire trip. After observing great himalayan views, we descend towards Bimthang, Tilje, Chyamche and Nadi before driving back to Kathmandu.

Manaslu Circuit Trek is unique in its own way with quite a few challenges and more exploration opportunities; we need to be physically fit and mentally ready to tolerate the challenges with passion towards exploring new places and new people. Best season for Manaslu Trek is spring March to May and Autumn month of September to November.
