Overview

Manaslu Circuit Trek Overview

The Manaslu Circuit Trek is a breathtaking journey through the remote and untouched landscapes of Nepal. This 17-day adventure takes you deep into the Himalayas, where you’ll explore traditional villages, and lush forests, crossing the high-altitude Larkya La Pass (5,170m/16,962ft). As you trek alongside Mount Manaslu (8,163m/26,781ft), you’ll experience stunning mountain views and the rich culture of the local communities.

Walking along peaceful trails, surrounded by fluttering prayer flags and the warm hospitality of locals, this trek feels like stepping back in time. If you're wondering how this trek compares to others, read our guide on Manaslu Trek vs Annapurna Trek.

Your adventure begins in Kathmandu, where we spend time preparing and exploring the city's rich culture. A scenic drive then takes us to Machha Khola (930m/3,051ft), the starting point of the trek. From here, we journey through rivers, forests, and ancient prayer walls. If you’re concerned about the difficulty level, check our guide on How Difficult is Manaslu Circuit Trek.

The village of Samagaun (3,530m/11,578ft) is one of the trek's highlights. Nestled among the mountains, it’s an ideal place to acclimate before crossing the pass. Optional hikes to Manaslu Base Camp or Pungyen Gompa provide incredible views and a chance to prepare for the ascent.

The Thrill of Crossing Larkya La Pass

Reaching the Larkya La Pass is a rewarding experience, with stunning views of Mount Himlung (7,126m) and Kang Guru (6,981m). After crossing, the trail descends to Bhimtang, where you get your first glimpse of the Annapurna massif. The trek ends in Chyamje, followed by a return to Kathmandu.

Alternative Routes: Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek & Ganesh Himal Pangsang La Pass Trek

For a different experience, the Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek offers a unique route. This trek takes you through the hidden Tsum Valley, known for its ancient monasteries, Tibetan culture, and stunning scenery. It’s a great option for those looking to explore more remote areas.

Another alternative is the Ganesh Himal and Pangsang La Pass Trek. This route offers spectacular views of the Ganesh Himal range, diverse landscapes, and cultural experiences with Tamang and Gurung communities. It’s perfect for those seeking a less-traveled but equally breathtaking adventure.

Permits & Paperwork Made Easy

Special permits are required to trek in this region. We take care of all paperwork, including the Manaslu Restricted Area Permit, the Manaslu Conservation Area Permit, and the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit. A TIMS card may also be needed for some sections.

Guided Trekking for a Safe Journey

Solo trekking is not allowed for safety reasons. Our experienced guides know the trails well and ensure a smooth journey. For important safety tips, check Health and Safety Tips for Manaslu Trek.

Teahouse Stays & Comfortable Lodging

Accommodation along the trek consists of teahouses and small family-run inns. Rooms are basic but comfortable, usually with twin beds and shared bathrooms. Some places offer hot showers and private facilities. Meals include dal bhat (lentils and rice), noodles, pancakes, and even pizza in some areas.

Electricity & Connectivity on the Trail

Most teahouses have electricity, allowing you to charge devices for a small fee. However, Wi-Fi is unreliable, especially at higher altitudes, making this a great opportunity to disconnect and enjoy nature.

Best Time to Trek Manaslu Circuit

The best time to trek is spring (March-May), when rhododendrons bloom, and autumn (September-November), with clear skies and stunning views. For more details, visit Trekking Season in Nepal: Remember Manaslu Trek.

Winter trekking from December to February is challenging due to extreme cold, while monsoon season (June to August) brings heavy rain and difficult trail conditions.

Why Choose the Manaslu Circuit Trek?

The Manaslu Circuit Trek offers travelers a chance to escape the crowds along more popular routes, instead stepping into an untouched world where minutes stretch into hours. Visiting remote Himalayan villages near Tibet, trekkers greet locals with smiles, offering glimpses into lives preserved from changing times. Every stride unveils discoveries - prayer flags rippling high in the sky or rivers carving through valleys, the work of glaciers.

Manaslu Circuit Trek VS Annapurna Circuit Trek:

While both treks showcase the beauty of the Nepalese Himalayas, the Manaslu Circuit trek offers a more remote and less commercialized experience than the Annapurna Circuit trek. The Manaslu Circuit features fewer trekkers, pristine landscapes, and a deeper immersion into local culture.

How Difficult is the Manaslu Circuit Trek:

Reaching high mountain passes demands physical readiness, though scenic rewards make the effort worthwhile. Acclimatizing lets hikers adjust to thinning air while guides offer support up Larkya La Pass' 5170 meters. Challenging days are balanced with rest as the sweeping terrain transforms from verdant valley to snowcapped peaks.

The Manaslu Circuit Trek Altitudes:

Machha Khola begins the trek at 930 meters, ascending through changing scenery to the stunning Larkya La Pass at 5170 meters. Serene Sama Gaon nestles trekkers at 3530 meters, surrounded by towering mountains. Reaching the summit grants a sense of triumph over the panoramic views.

How Much Does the Manaslu Circuit Trek Cost?

Adventure A One Trek's all-inclusive 17-day package costs $1335 per person. It covers permits, meals, accommodation, guides, and transport, ensuring a seamless and memorable experience. International flights and personal costs are additional. for further more, you can contact us on whats app to the personal number.

Best trekking experience ever!

I recently completed the Manaslu Circuit Trek and I have to say it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking and the trek itself was challenging but extremely rewarding. From the stunning views of snow-capped peaks to the friendly people and vibrant culture along the way, this trek has it all. The guides and porters were knowledgeable and extremely helpful, and made sure we were safe and comfortable throughout the trek. I would highly recommend this trek to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure.

Best manaslu circuit trek experience!!

Adventure A One Treks provided a wonderful experience on Manaslu Circuit Trek in autumn 2022. Their professionalism and expertise in the field was remarkable. Every single detail of the trek was well planned and catered. It was an amazing experience to see the stunningly beautiful mountain peaks in Manaslu range and get to witness the local life in remote village areas. The guides were knowledgeable and always had answers to all our queries. They went to extraordinary lengths to make us feel comfortable. Moreover, I must appreciate the delicious regional food served during our trek. The hospitality and support of the Adventure A One Treks team made the journey truly memorable. I'm highly recommending their services to those looking for an unforgettable adventure. 5 Stars!!!

Beautiful Manaslu Trek

We (my girlfriend and I) are very grateful for this experience with Dhruba Bhatta and his Brother Ajeeb running a family business it was our first time trekking in Nepal on the Manaslu Circuit Trek and we didn’t have to worry about anything. We compared a couple of agencies and offers in Thamel and online and lastly, we felt Dhruba was very straightforward and honest about the package and provided excellent service - what’s included/what’s not - what is the trek like (first two days partly on the road - no big deal really) and what kind of service/accommodation to expect in the mountains. He also educated us on what to eat on the trek to cope well with the altitude - and some dos and fonts in the villages - this was very helpful. During the trek, he also reached out and proactively asked how we were doing. The equipment we rented from Adventure A One Trek (down jacket, sleeping bag, poles) was in a perfect state and kept us warm on the trek. If he has availability Dhruba will make sure to provide you with good gear. He provides the best service and we feel he is an expert guide. Our Guide Shailendra is so kind and flexible and adjusts for our Nepal visit. We wish him for best and if I will return to Nepal, I want him to be a guide for me again and again. Our guide and porter were very attentive to us as well and our bags were always ready for us when we got to the accommodations-furthermore he would fix the trails on the spout if he deemed a passage too dangerous for Larke-la pass. Thank you for Nepal trekking experience A One Trek team and Guide Shailendra.
