Manaslu Circuit Trek

Manaslu region is remote with pristine nature and the mesmerizing beauty. One of the least explored trek due to its remoteness, it was only opened in the 90s for exploration. Slowly, its popularity is growing among those who prefer peaceful trekking in nature, with authentic cultural experiences. Manaslu Circuit Trek is challenging as it takes you to the maximum elevation of 5,106 m (Larkya La Pass) but is completely worth it. Solo trekking is not allowed in this off-beat trail and a Manaslu restricted area permit is required along with ACAP and Manaslu Conservation Area to trek.

Manaslu Circuit Trek via Larkya Pass takes you through lowlands, low-altitude villages, high-altitude settlements, and alpine pastures. It takes you through banks of rivers and roaring fountains, in Manaslu region with untouched nature and varying cultures and ethnicities. Our trek gives you a deep experience of the high mountain region, stunning sceneries, and varying flora and fauna. Named after Mt. Manaslu (8,188m), the world’s 8th highest peak, the trek also has its spirited adventure sections. You will treasure the experiences, especially at the time of crossing Larkya/Larke La Pass.

The trek usually starts at Machha Khola via Arughat and gradually ascends to Larkya La Pass (5,106m) traversing several settlements. Then, descends again to an end at Syange village near Besishahar. Since Besishahar is the starting point of the Annapurna Circuit, you can also combine Manaslu Circuit Trek with Annapurna Circuit Trek, and enjoy the best of Manaslu Annapurna regions. Grand views of Manaslu, Annapurna II, Hiunchuli, and numerous other peaks of the Nepal Himalaya help you get memories to last over your life. Also, experience the typical Nepalese rural life during this rustic journey.

Manaslu Circuit Trek can be combined with Tsum Valley Trek. Besides this, in the Manaslu region, trekkers have numerous options such as the Manaslu Two Passes Trek, Manaslu Rupina La Pass Trek, and Tsum Valley Trek.
