About Manaslu Circuit Trek
The Manaslu Circuit Trek is one of Nepal’s most remote and off-the-beaten-path trekking experiences, offering dramatic scenery, rich cultural heritage, and a thrilling high-altitude adventure. Circling Mount Manaslu (8,163m) — the world’s eighth-highest mountain — the route passes through traditional Tibetan-influenced villages, deep gorges, alpine forests, and the high mountain pass of Larkya La (5,160m).
This trek is a perfect choice for those seeking solitude, cultural depth, and raw Himalayan beauty without the crowds of more commercial routes like Annapurna or Everest.
