Manaslu Circuit Trek
18 Days
Challenging
Max 5,160 m 2-10 people Mar-May, Sep-Nov
Overview
The Manaslu Circuit is what the Annapurna Circuit was thirty years ago: raw, remote and utterly spectacular. This restricted-area trek circles 8,163 m Manaslu, following the Budhi Gandaki gorge through subtropical villages into a high Buddhist world of mani walls and monasteries.
The crescendo is the crossing of the Larkya La (5,160 m), one of the most dramatic passes in the Himalaya, with views of Himlung, Cheo and Annapurna II. A special permit and licensed guide are required — both are included, along with every logistics detail.
