Manaslu Circuit Trekking is one the most beautiful trekking in northwestern Nepal. Team Himalaya’s Manaslu Circuit Trekking will take you to the rarely trekked region that combines mesmerizing mountain views, rich sub-tropical vegetation, mountain deserts, ancient villages, and crossing the enthralling Larke Pass at a height of 5,213m to reach the foothills of Mt. Manaslu, the 8th tallest peak in the world at an elevation of 8,163m. The Larke Pass, which is the highest elevation point of the trek, is known to offer the most dramatic pass-crossing experience in the Himalayas. Manaslu Circuit Trekking was opened to trekkers only in 1992, the Manaslu region stands in stark contrast to popular trekking destinations like the Everest and Annapurna region. To this day, the region sees very few visitors, thus offering daring trekkers less beaten, remote, and virgin trails that wait to be explored. A good amount of the trek involves hiking on a mountain trail and thus is under the capacity of any individual with sound health. However, the trekkers need to thoroughly understand the challenges of trekking at elevations above 3000m require is albeit challenging. However, the Manaslu circuit trekking route is an ideal choice for individuals who want to explore the wilderness and remoteness of the Himalayas, far from the crowded trekking routes.
The 17-day-long Manaslu circuit trek begins with a 7-hour drive from Kathmandu to Arughat, Gorkha. We will gradually trek northwards through hilly villages like Soti Khola, Machha Khol, and Jagat to reach the famous sub-alpine villages of Ghap and Lho. The path follows the ancient salt trading route to Tibet along the banks of the Budi Gandaki River. After trekking for a few more days through Samagaon, Dharamshala, and Samdo, we will cross the Larke Pass. On our return journey, we will trek down through the Annapurna Circuit Trekking Route to reach Besi Shahar in Lamjung district, from where we will drive back to Kathmandu.
During the Manaslu circuit trekking, we will be rewarded with stunning views of Mt. Manaslu. Satellite peaks in the Nepal-Tibet border above the elevation of 6,500m and 7,000m will be visible from a very near distance. The views of these mountains are even more commendable from the top of the Larkya-la Pass. Another highlight of the trek is traveling through the Manaslu Conservation Area which was established with the motive of conserving the region in its entire wilderness. We might also have sightings of rare Himalayan animal species like Himalayan Thar, musk deer, snow leopard, and red panda. While trekking, we will be able to explore and experience the lifestyle and culture of the local Gurung people. Since the region shares close proximity with Tibet, the people here still follow the very rare Tibetan Buddhism. It will be an interesting revelation to witness how these settlements have sustained and flourished in such trying conditions.

Acclimatization allows the body to gradually adapt to high altitudes, reducing the risk of altitude-related illnesses and improving overall trekking performance. It enhances oxygen uptake, helps prevent altitude sickness, and ensures a safer and more enjoyable trekking experience.
After an exhilarating journey towards Larkya-la and higher elevations, it is essential to take a well-deserved rest day for acclimatization. This day allows your body to adjust to the altitude, ensuring a safe and enjoyable trek ahead. Utilize this free day to immerse yourself in the vibrant culture and traditions of this charming village, which is deeply influenced by Tibetan customs. Explore the local attractions, interact with the friendly villagers, and gain a deeper understanding of their unique way of life.
After a delightful stay in Samagaon, where you were treated to breathtaking views of the snow-capped peaks and Mt. Manaslu, you'll begin your morning walk along an exposed valley. As you ascend higher, the tree line gradually disappears, leaving behind a landscape adorned with a few rhododendrons and juniper bushes. The trail will take you over the majestic Manaslu Glacier, offering a mesmerizing view of Birendra Lake, also known as Samagaon Lake. This route will lead you to the village of Samdo, which is located much closer to the Tibetan border. Along the way, you may encounter traders from Tibet and witness yaks carrying Chinese and Tibetan goods. The journey continues as you follow a stream and eventually cross it, bringing you to Samdo village, where you'll spend the night.

As you start your morning walk, you'll follow the glacier-fed icy river and then cross a stream that originates from Gya La. At this point, you'll notice a trail on the right side that leads to the Tibet border. However, your route will divert onto the path to Larkya Bazaar, also known as Dharamsala, which means guest house in Nepali.
In the past, before the late 1960s, there used to be a thriving trade between Tibet and Nepal right at this location. That is why it is still referred to as Larkya Bazaar today. After passing through Larkya Bazaar, you'll continue on a gentle walk for a few hours until you reach Dharamsala, your overnight stop located at the bottom of Larkya La pass. This will be a perfect opportunity to rest and enjoy a short walk while taking in the magnificent surrounding scenery.
Dharmasala gives trekkers a memorable and exciting experience because it is surrounded by pristine alpine scenery, stunning glaciers, and towering peaks. It is an important turning point in the Manaslu Circuit Trek because it gets hikers ready for the thrilling and spectacular journey through the magnificent Larkya La Pass.
Today is a big day! Get an early start and follow the path that leads to a steep uphill climb after leaving Dharmashala. Along the way, you'll come across four frozen ponds before making your way up to the top ridge of Larkya La Pass, which stands at an impressive altitude of 5,200 meters (17,060 feet).
Once you reach the top, prepare to be amazed by the breathtaking views that surround you. Take in the awe-inspiring sights of Mt. Manaslu, Larkya Peak, Himlung Himal, and to Ganesh Himal on the eastern horizon. Keep in mind that the high altitude and snowy conditions on the pass may present some obstacles as you traverse the glacier moraines. However, the memorable moments and incredible scenery make it all worthwhile.
Trekkers can see stunning panoramic views of snow-covered mountains, including Mt. Manaslu, the eighth-highest summit in the world, as they cross the pass. The pass is renowned for its rocky, glaciated terrain, which makes the ascent and descent difficult yet breathtakingly beautiful. As Larkya La Pass offers a memorable and adventurous experience on the Manaslu Circuit, trekkers must be well-acclimatized and ready for high-altitude conditions.
After soaking in the beauty of the past, the path will lead you on a long downhill journey. Eventually, you'll reach your overnight stop at Bhimthang, a picturesque green valley adorned with grassy meadows. The valley is lined with majestic coniferous pine and rhododendron trees, adding to its natural charm and tranquility. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings and rest up for the next leg of your adventure.
After completing the challenging trek of the previous day, today's journey offers a much more relaxed and enjoyable experience. You'll embark on a gentle and downhill path that winds through enchanting and untouched forests filled with rhododendron, oak, and pine trees.

We just came back from a beautiful Manaslu Circuit Trek, in Nepal. Had a wonderful time and memorable experiences on this trek. Every day was stunning new scenery, amazing people, and fascinating villages. It was as we expected. Thank you so much, Raj and Ramesh! We're forever grateful for such an incredible adventure.
Manaslu Circuit Trekking and crossing over Larke-La Pass at 5,106 m was so great, as well as very tiring. The downhill was quite long to Bhimthang, but we made it thanks to the support of the best guide from Team Himalaya. Overall the trek was more than an adventure but enjoyable and made my time in Nepal worth a visit.
I would definitely recommend to my friends and family to experience Manaslu Circuit Trekking by joining the best local company. That is Team Himalaya, the guide and staff were so helpful and always busy taking care of us.
The food, accommodation, and transportation were all excellent, and thanks to Team Himalaya for the wonderful Manaslu Circuit Trekking.
Oh, what an adventure facing superb views of beautiful scenery landscapes and towering snow-capped peaks. It was a splendid trekking throughout the trip, although quite tiring for some days. But the surrounding views made the trek worth the hard effort the exciting views. The starting point was quite warm, with a great change of climate and vegetation on everyday walks.
But the best was on reaching the high Manaslu Valley, with majestic views of Mt. Manaslu North Face. From Lho Gaon an interesting walk to Sama-Gaon, on a rest day hike to Birendra Lake and Manaslu Base Camp. It was a memorable and tough walk but we did it with the good support of our guide.
The hardest and most strenuous was the climb on top of Larke-La pass and the long undulating downhill to Bhimthang. Overall the Manaslu Circuit trek was wonderful, thanks to Team Himalaya and the guide.
Enjoy the popular trekking and tour packages in Nepal Himalayas. 2024.

After trekking for a few more days through Samagaon, Dharamshala, and Samdo, we will cross the Larke Pass. On our return journey, we will trek down through the Annapurna Circuit Trekking Route to reach Besi Shahar in Lamjung district, from where we will drive back to Kathmandu.
During the Manaslu circuit trekking, we will be rewarded with stunning views of Mt. Manaslu. Satellite peaks in the Nepal-Tibet border above the elevation of 6,500m and 7,000m will be visible from a very near distance. The views of these mountains are even more commendable from the top of the Larkya-la Pass. Another highlight of the trek is traveling through the Manaslu Conservation Area which was established with the motive of conserving the region in its entire wilderness. We might also have sightings of rare Himalayan animal species like Himalayan Thar, musk deer, snow leopard, and red panda. While trekking, we will be able to explore and experience the lifestyle and culture of the local Gurung people. Since the region shares close proximity with Tibet, the people here still follow the very rare Tibetan Buddhism. It will be an interesting revelation to witness how these settlements have sustained and flourished in such trying conditions.

Acclimatization allows the body to gradually adapt to high altitudes, reducing the risk of altitude-related illnesses and improving overall trekking performance. It enhances oxygen uptake, helps prevent altitude sickness, and ensures a safer and more enjoyable trekking experience.
After an exhilarating journey towards Larkya-la and higher elevations, it is essential to take a well-deserved rest day for acclimatization. This day allows your body to adjust to the altitude, ensuring a safe and enjoyable trek ahead. Utilize this free day to immerse yourself in the vibrant culture and traditions of this charming village, which is deeply influenced by Tibetan customs. Explore the local attractions, interact with the friendly villagers, and gain a deeper understanding of their unique way of life.
After a delightful stay in Samagaon, where you were treated to breathtaking views of the snow-capped peaks and Mt. Manaslu, you'll begin your morning walk along an exposed valley. As you ascend higher, the tree line gradually disappears, leaving behind a landscape adorned with a few rhododendrons and juniper bushes. The trail will take you over the majestic Manaslu Glacier, offering a mesmerizing view of Birendra Lake, also known as Samagaon Lake. This route will lead you to the village of Samdo, which is located much closer to the Tibetan border. Along the way, you may encounter traders from Tibet and witness yaks carrying Chinese and Tibetan goods. The journey continues as you follow a stream and eventually cross it, bringing you to Samdo village, where you'll spend the night.

As you start your morning walk, you'll follow the glacier-fed icy river and then cross a stream that originates from Gya La. At this point, you'll notice a trail on the right side that leads to the Tibet border. However, your route will divert onto the path to Larkya Bazaar, also known as Dharamsala, which means guest house in Nepali.
In the past, before the late 1960s, there used to be a thriving trade between Tibet and Nepal right at this location. That is why it is still referred to as Larkya Bazaar today. After passing through Larkya Bazaar, you'll continue on a gentle walk for a few hours until you reach Dharamsala, your overnight stop located at the bottom of Larkya La pass. This will be a perfect opportunity to rest and enjoy a short walk while taking in the magnificent surrounding scenery.

Today is a big day! Get an early start and follow the path that leads to a steep uphill climb after leaving Dharmashala. Along the way, you'll come across four frozen ponds before making your way up to the top ridge of Larkya La Pass, which stands at an impressive altitude of 5,200 meters (17,060 feet).
Once you reach the top, prepare to be amazed by the breathtaking views that surround you. Take in the awe-inspiring sights of Mt. Manaslu, Larkya Peak, Himlung Himal, and to Ganesh Himal on the eastern horizon. Keep in mind that the high altitude and snowy conditions on the pass may present some obstacles as you traverse the glacier moraines. However, the memorable moments and incredible scenery make it all worthwhile.
Trekkers can see stunning panoramic views of snow-covered mountains, including Mt. Manaslu, the eighth-highest summit in the world, as they cross the pass. The pass is renowned for its rocky, glaciated terrain, which makes the ascent and descent difficult yet breathtakingly beautiful. As Larkya La Pass offers a memorable and adventurous experience on the Manaslu Circuit, trekkers must be well-acclimatized and ready for high-altitude conditions.
After soaking in the beauty of the past, the path will lead you on a long downhill journey. Eventually, you'll reach your overnight stop at Bhimthang, a picturesque green valley adorned with grassy meadows.

Manaslu Circuit Trekking and crossing over Larke-La Pass at 5,106 m was so great, as well as very tiring. The downhill was quite long to Bhimthang, but we made it thanks to the support of the best guide from Team Himalaya. Overall the trek was more than an adventure but enjoyable and made my time in Nepal worth a visit.
I would definitely recommend to my friends and family to experience Manaslu Circuit Trekking by joining the best local company. That is Team Himalaya, the guide and staff were so helpful and always busy taking care of us.
The food, accommodation, and transportation were all excellent, and thanks to Team Himalaya for the wonderful Manaslu Circuit Trekking.

Oh, what an adventure facing superb views of beautiful scenery landscapes and towering snow-capped peaks. It was a splendid trekking throughout the trip, although quite tiring for some days. But the surrounding views made the trek worth the hard effort the exciting views. The starting point was quite warm, with a great change of climate and vegetation on everyday walks.
But the best was on reaching the high Manaslu Valley, with majestic views of Mt. Manaslu North Face. From Lho Gaon an interesting walk to Sama-Gaon, on a rest day hike to Birendra Lake and Manaslu Base Camp. It was a memorable and tough walk but we did it with the good support of our guide.
The hardest and most strenuous was the climb on top of Larke-La pass and the long undulating downhill to Bhimthang. Overall the Manaslu Circuit trek was wonderful, thanks to Team Himalaya and the guide.
