Manaslu Circuit Trek!

The Manaslu Circuit Trek is a remote and less crowded trekking route in Nepal, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural diversity. Encircling the majestic Mt. Manaslu (8,163 m), the world’s eighth-highest peak, this trek takes you through lush subtropical forests, terraced fields, alpine meadows, and traditional villages that reflect Tibetan-influenced cultures. Starting from Soti Khola, the trail winds along the Budhi Gandaki River, crossing several suspension bridges, before reaching the picturesque villages of Samagaun and Samdo. The trek's highlight is crossing the Larkya La Pass (5,160 m), one of the most dramatic passes in the Himalayas, which offers breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks like Himlung, Cheo, and Kang Guru. The route is adorned with diverse flora and fauna, ancient monasteries, and stupas, providing a spiritual and serene experience. The trek usually spans 14 to 18 days and requires a special trekking permit due to its location within the Manaslu Conservation Area. With challenging terrains, high altitudes, and basic tea-house accommodations, the Manaslu Circuit Trek is ideal for trekkers seeking an off-the-beaten-path adventure with stunning landscapes and rich cultural encounters.
