How to Plan a Manaslu Circuit Trek

The Manaslu Circuit Trek is one of Nepal’s hidden gems, offering an unforgettable adventure. Situated in the northern Himalayas, this trek takes you around Mount Manaslu, the world’s eighth highest peak, through scenic landscapes, remote villages, and cultural experiences that are less crowded than other popular treks in Nepal, such as Everest or Annapurna. Planning the trek can be challenging due to the varied terrain, altitude, and logistics, but with the right guidance, it will be a worthwhile journey.

Compared to the overcrowded routes, this route feels much more authentic. Mentioning the difficulties is a plus, because the route is really not for spontaneous tourists, acclimatization, permits, and proper preparation are needed.

For those who want to see the Himalayas without the crowds of tourists, this is just the bomb! The trail goes around the top and every day here is like a postcard. Glaciers, suspension bridges, villages where it seems like time has stopped. The crossing of the Larke Pass is the culmination, the views from it are mind-blowing. I booked everything through Manaslu trek . They have experienced guides, a well-thought-out route, normal accommodation and everything went without a hitch.
