Overview

The Manaslu Area is located in Gandaki provience of Gorkha district of Nepal. This trek named from the eight highest mountain of the world Mt. Manaslu(8152meters). Trek allows you to circuit the Manasalu himal via Larkey-la pass.Untrampled trails through rural part of Nepal with breathtaking views of Mt. Manaslu and its Himalayan peaks counterparts always on the background. Be prepared to witness the ancient culture and almost medieval lifestyle of the people as you trek up northwards. 

Modernization and commercialization have not touched the purity of the environment of this Area, so your trek to Manaslu will be a time-travel experience. Teahouses are available for the entire trek .The other option is to camping .Manaslu shares much of its culture and history with its neighboring territory, Tibet. Buddhism is major religion, as one can observe Buddhist monasteries, architecture, and tradition all the way. This region, which was officially opened for visitors from abroad only in 1991, falls in the Restricted Areas

The Manaslu Trek (also known as Manaslu Circuit Trek) is a remote trek around the world's eighth highest peak, situated in Manaslu region. With newly developed small tea houses on the trek, Manaslu Trek has become a lot easier for trekkers to acquire accommodation and meals. Manaslu circuit Trek explores small villages of Buddhism with spectacular scenery of snowy peaks, thundering rivers, high passes, wildlife and different Himalayan flowers including the beautiful rhododendrons. Manaslu trek will lead you to the highest land attached to Tibet with some opportunities to experience Tibetan-influenced cultures and faiths.

While the Annapurna trek  is now disrupted by on-going construction of motor roads, Manaslu Circuit Trek is known as the perfect alternative for Annapurna Circuit. For those who do not want to walk on the dusty roads of Annapurna Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trekking is the perfect alternative with a similar route, similar views, and similar experiences. Manaslu Circuit Trek is getting more and more popular as a new trekking route among trekkers. Manaslu Trekking is a restricted trekking route, you need to use a government licensed trekking agency with private staffs. You can not do independent trekking in this area. Larke (Larkye) La Pass (5,106 meters) is the most difficult point of the trek but it's not worse, weather conditions allowing to cross and meet Annapurna circuit route.

For a trekker with more available time, we suggest to include virgin Tsum valley area experiencing far fewer trekkers. Manaslu Circuit Trek is the premier moderate - difficult grade trekking route left in Nepal in terms of mountains, authentic culture, and enjoyment. Manaslu Circuit Trekking gives you untouched beauty of nature, gives you own pace for the walk and lets you experience the life of people in the mountains.
