Manaslu Circuit Trek - 14 Days

14-Day Manaslu Circuit Trek is one of Nepal's best-kept secrets, offering an unforgettable experience circling Mt. Manaslu (8,163m), the world's 8th-highest mountain. This trek is special because it offers the perfect blend of stunning Himalayan views, authentic Tibetan culture, and the excitement of passing through the challenging Larkya La Pass (5,160m). Unlike the more crowded Everest and Annapurna trails, the Manaslu region is peaceful and isolated, and via it you can view the natural scenery of Nepal and genuine charm in a pristine and intimate way.

Manaslu Circuit Trek Overview

Trek through untouched Himalayan landscape, across a breathtaking high-altitude pass, and through ancient Tibetan villages where time moves at its own pace. That is what the Manaslu Circuit Trek 14 Days promises, among many others, and therefore one of Nepal's most rewarding and least traversed trails.

While trekking on this remote and pristine region of Nepal, you will experience the feeling of remoteness hard to attain on other treks that are highly travelled. The trek is a blend of adventure and cultural discovery wherein every day greets with a new landscape and experience. You will trek over irrigated plains, rhododendron jungle forests, and beside glinting streams. Along the journey, you'll hike past monasteries and traditional villages and friendly hosts who'll be glad to fling open their doors and embrace you and take you into their fold and their society. It's not about just reaching the peak—it's about the incredible trip that brings you there.

Located in the out-of-bounds Manaslu region, this trek goes around Mt. Manaslu (8,163m)—the world's eighth-highest mountain. It takes you through tropical rainforest and glacial rivers to remote highland villages and then through the breathtaking Larkya La Pass (5,160m)—one of Nepal's finest and most challenging mountain passes.
