Overview

Manaslu Circuit Trek

Start the thrilling trek, the Manaslu Circuit Trek, one of Nepal's off-the-beaten-track itineraries! This 17-day trip is a creation of Adventure A One Trek and it aims to take you to the gorgeous region near Tibet. Guests will hike lesser-known tracks, see varied animal species indigenous to the Himalayas, walk through typical cultural villages, and cross one of the renowned mountain passes; Larkya La Mountain pass at 5,170m/16,962ft where Mount Manaslu (8,163m/26,781ft) can be seen from afar.

Adventure A One Trek has put together the perfect holiday package for you! The Manaslu Circuit trek spans 17 days and includes a day of sightseeing in Kathmandu. This plan can be adjusted to fit your preferences for a longer or shorter trip. The first two days are spent in Kathmandu, where you'll settle into your hotel and enjoy a special dinner at a traditional Nepalese restaurant. It's a great opportunity to meet the team and experience Nepalese culture. You'll also explore Kathmandu's landmarks and receive a detailed briefing for the trek. The next day, you'll head to the starting point of the Manaslu Circuit Trek, Machha Khola village at 930m/3,051ft.

The drive to Machha Khola can take up to 7 hours and offers beautiful views of the Nepalese countryside. You'll pass through villages, pastures, rivers, and mountains. The first two days of trekking mostly go through forests and fields cultivated by the Gurung people, with some Tibetan influence. Along the way, you might see Mani walls covered in prayers and wildlife like monkeys, yaks, and Himalayan Thars. As you approach Ghap, the landscape changes with bamboo forests. The final leg of the journey takes you to Samagaun (3,530m/11,578ft), where you'll take it slow to acclimate to the altitude. Taking time to acclimate is crucial for a successful trek. You'll spend an extra day in Samagaun with two options for acclimatization hikes: Pungyen Gompa or Manaslu Base Camp. Both hikes offer great views and help prepare you for crossing the Larkya La Pass. After acclimatizing, you'll head towards the pass (5,170m/16,962ft), stopping at Dharamsala/Larkya Base Camp (4,460m/14,628ft) for any last-minute supplies or souvenirs. You'll start early to cross the pass, enjoying views of Mount Manaslu (8,163m/26,782ft), Mount Himlung (7,126m/23,379ft), and Kang Guru Peak (6,981m/22,904ft) along the way. Descending towards Bhimtang requires caution due to steep and slippery trails. As you descend, you'll see the Annapurna region and eventually join the Annapurna Circuit trek's trail. The journey ends in Chyamje, where you'll drive back to Kathmandu.

Why Manaslu Circuit Trek:

The Manaslu Circuit trek offers a unique adventure away from the crowds, providing stunning vistas of the Himalayas, encounters with diverse cultures, and a sense of exploration in a remote region near Tibet.

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:

The difficulty of the Manaslu Circuit trek varies depending on factors like altitude, terrain, and individual fitness levels. While it's a challenging trek, proper acclimatization, physical preparation, and a gradual ascent can help mitigate difficulties. Trekking experience in high altitudes is recommended.

The Manaslu Circuit Trek Altitudes:

The Manaslu Circuit trek spans a range of altitudes, starting from the lower elevations around 930m/3,051ft in Machha Khola village and reaching the challenging Larkya La Mountain pass at 5,170m/16,962ft. Acclimatization days are included to adjust to higher altitudes safely.

How much does the Manaslu Circuit Trek Cost?

The cost of the Manaslu Circuit trek can vary depending on factors like the duration of the trek, the trekking company chosen, included amenities, and additional services. At Adventure A One Trek, a 17-day Manaslu Circuit trek package costs $1,335 per person, excluding international flights and personal expenses.

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.
