Manaslu Circuit Trek – Wilderness, Culture and Epic Peaks Await!

Tour Overview

Trekking the Manaslu Circuit takes you deep into one of Nepal’s most dramatic wilderness regions, circling the towering Spirit Mountain at 8163 metres. Once restricted and opened to trekkers only in 1992, this route blends raw Himalayan grandeur with rich cultural encounters as you move between Gurung villages, Tibetan influenced settlements, and ancient trade trails carved along the Budhi Gandaki River. The scenery shifts constantly with lush forests, cascading waterfalls, and wide glacial valleys framed by more than ten peaks rising above 6500 metres.

The journey reaches its high point at Larkya La Pass at 5106 metres, one of the longest and most impressive passes in the region. As you climb through several climate zones, you are surrounded by untouched landscapes and the chance to spot rare wildlife such as red pandas and snow leopards. With its quiet trails, diverse cultures, and the vast beauty of both the Manaslu and Annapurna conservation areas, this trek delivers a rare mix of remoteness, challenge, and pure Himalayan magic.
