Manaslu Circuit Trek

The Manaslu Circuit Trek skirts around the eighth-highest mountain in the world, Manaslu (8,163m). Manaslu sits immediately next to the Annapurna Range. While the Manaslu Circuit Trek shares many of the great views and panoramas that you see on the Annapurna Circuit Trek, it is relatively less popular, so it is a lot less crowded than its famous neighbour. And now that roads have spoiled the Annapurna Circuit’s last sections, this is a great off-the-beaten-track alternative, offering a spectacular and isolated trekking experience.

During the Manaslu Circuit Trek, you will marvel at the magnificent views of Mt Manaslu, coupled with a chance to witness the rich local heritage and biological diversity of the region. The highest point of this trek is the Larkya La Pass, arguably one of the most dramatic passes crossing the Himalayas. Most of the trek involves walking on mountain trails and is within the capabilities of people with good fitness.

The trek starts at Soti Khola’s town passing through bamboo forests and Gurung villages in the narrow Buri Gandaki gorge. After Lho village, we enter the Nupri region inhabited by Tibetan communities where you will see colourful prayer flags, mani walls, and numerous monasteries. After Samdo village, we head towards Larkya La Pass. The view from Larkya La offers spectacular panoramas of Himal Chuli, Manaslu, Cheo Himal and Himlung Himal.
