The Manaslu Circuit Trek is a breathtaking journey around Mount Manaslu (8,163 meters), the world’s eighth-highest mountain. This off-the-beaten-path trek takes you through rugged river valleys, remote mountain villages, ancient monasteries, and high mountain passes, offering a perfect blend of adventure, cultural immersion, and natural beauty. Starting from Machha Khola, the trail follows the Budhi Gandaki River, passing through diverse landscapes—from lush lowlands to high alpine meadows. You’ll explore culturally rich villages like Samagaun, Lho, and Sho, where Tibetan-influenced communities welcome trekkers with warm hospitality and centuries-old traditions. The highlight of the trek is crossing the Larkya La Pass (5,106m), one of the most dramatic and rewarding mountain passes in the Himalayas. Compared to other popular treks, the Manaslu Circuit remains less crowded, offering a more peaceful and authentic experience. It falls within a restricted area, requiring a special permit and a licensed guide—ensuring both safety and preservation of this pristine region.

Highlights:

Majestic views of Manaslu, Himalchuli, and Ganesh Himal Cross the high-altitude Larkya La Pass Experience Tibetan Buddhist culture in remote mountain villages Visit ancient monasteries like Pungen Gompa and Mu Gompa Trek through the Manaslu Conservation Area, home to red pandas, snow leopards, and more
