The Manaslu Circuit trek takes you back in time as far as trekking experience in Nepal's Himalayas goes - back to the days when some of the most popular trekking trails in the country hardly saw travelers and services were basic. Join us on this 14-day guided trek that starts from humid lowlands, across high suspension bridges and torrential rivers all the way to high mountains with sparse settlements and pristine landscape.
Drive to Soti Khola from Kathmandu on the first day of the trek. Hit the trail and head for Sama Gaun via Jagat, Namrung and Lho. Spend a day in Sama Gaun and continue uphill to Samdo and Dharmasala. Cross the Larke La Pass on Day 12. The trip comes to an end in Beshi Sahar, from where you can make your way to either Pokhara (three hours by bus) or back to Kathmandu.
While some days will take you through ethnic villages and yak pastures, others involve hiking through forests, traversing rocky hillside trails and along roaring rivers. In the backdrop are high mountains that inch closer every day.
Please note that special permits (included in the tour price) and a minimum of two travelers are required to carry out this trek.

“Thanks to the good advice from the team, we went for the Manaslu trek, very well organized. This trek is amazing and not so crowded compare to others.
The team and especially our guide, Mun were very attentive to our needs and super nice. They made our stay in Nepal super cool.
I also recommend the hotel related: Bodhi Boutique hotel. very good quality.”

“The 14 day Manaslu circuit trek was my first ever trek (I'm 15) and a great choice. It's virtually uncrowded and has beautiful scenery the whole way. You get a real taste of true Nepali/Tibetan life that you just don't get on some of the more popular treks. The food was good and tea was great the whole way up and the whole way down. Overall, great, challenging but rewarding and definitely enjoyable.”

“We were fortunate enough to complete the Manaslu Circuit with a follow on trip to Chitwan National Park with Magical Nepal. Our guide, Deepak, and porter, Rohan, were absolutely brilliant and made the hardest moments of each day a joy. The trip itself was organised incredibly well meaning all we had to do was concentrate on the walking itself and enjoying the views. I can't recommend the trek enough. We also have a brilliant few days in Chitwan after the trek where we explored the jungle seeing wild Rhinos, Crocodiles, Elephants and a host of other animals.”

How much money do I need to bring with me?
Your personal budget obviously depends on your spending habits and what is included in your trip cost. If accommodation is included, but meals are not, we would suggest that you bring around 30 USD per day per person for meals. Having a hot shower or charging your device sometimes costs extra. There are also sometimes small crafts/souvenirs to buy along the trekking route which you may want to bring extra money for. Also, consider whether you would be staying in Kathmandu or Pokhara before or after your trek.
