Manaslu Circuit Trek

Manaslu circuit trek is the classical trek in Nepal that goes loop of massif Makalu crossing Larklya pass and some believes it as a best alternative trekking to Annapurna circuit. The magnificent towering Himalaya view and the spectacular glaciers make the trail more glorious. Despite its increasing popularity, the trail maximally meanders through remote and off the beaten track. Thus, this trail is ideal for those dreaming of exotic and challenging trek in remote landscape of alpine Nepal.  Moreover, the trekking route passes through stunning geography, fascinating idyllic cultural settlements along with the magnificent Himalayan view more similar to Annapurna circuit trek in Nepal.

This 18 days itinerary package of Manaslu circuit trek instigates from Arughat crossing several Gurung villages and lush forest before reaching Budhi Ghandaki George and Marsyangdi valley. We make our way through Lho village to reach Manaslu Base Camp and descend via Samdo to conclude the trek at Besisahar, also the starting point of Annapurna circuit trek.  Accommodation services are available all along the trail however you can choose to camp or stay in teahouse. The services in Teahouse are basic with very few amenities. If you want more experience, you can amend the route and combine Manaslu circuit trek with Tsum valley trek.
