Trip Overview

The Manaslu Circuit Trek is a breathtaking adventure that takes you around Mount Manaslu (8,163m), the eighth-highest peak in the world. This trek offers a remote and less crowded alternative to the Annapurna Circuit, providing spectacular views of snow-capped peaks, pristine landscapes, and diverse cultural encounters with the local Gurung and Tibetan communities.

The trek passes through Larkya La Pass (5,160m), one of the longest and most dramatic mountain passes in the Himalayas. This challenging yet rewarding trek offers stunning scenery, ranging from lush forests and terraced farmlands to rugged alpine terrain.
