What makes this trek truly unique is its sense of pioneering exploration—delivering a deep dive into diverse cultures and unspoiled landscapes, perfect for travelers who crave authenticity alongside dramatic scenery.

The Manaslu trek is one of Nepal's best treks. If you have 17 days available for trekking in Nepal, we highly recommend this trek. It is challenging, especially the day of crossing the Larke pass at 5,135 m but if you are in reasonable shape, determined, and able to walk 6 hours a day, you can do this trek.
Manaslu is the eighth highest peak in the world, bordering the Gorkha and Manang districts in Nepal. It is just 64km East of the previously popular Annapurna treks. Literally, Manaslu is derived from Sanskrit with manasa means “Mountain of the spirit". The Manaslu region encompasses everything from sub tropical foothills to the arid Trans-Himalaya high pastures bordering Tibet.
The Manaslu trek opened only in 1991. Its popularity increased significantly when teahouses become available around 2009. The Manaslu region has no roads or alike and the trekking trails are excellent. This combined with a high variation in altitude starting from around 700 m and getting up to 5,135 m is the reason why the Manaslu trek today is preferred over the Annapurna trek.
After a 6 hours bus ride from Kathmandu, the trek begins Arughat. En-route the trek, you will not only see spectacular mountain scenery but can also visit several monasteries.
If you have 19 days available, you will not regret choosing this trek. If you are in doubt as to physical fitness we highly recommend adding a porter. 1 porter can carry up to 30 kgs and can thus be shared between 2 people.
We are looking forward to taking you on a fantastic trekking adventure.

Venture into the untouched wilderness of Nepal on the Manaslu Around Trek, a 19-day adventure for those who crave culture and scenery far from the tourist crowds. Tucked near the Tibetan border, Mt. Manaslu rises to 8,163 meters, watching over villages where ancient Tibetan Buddhist traditions flourish as they did a century ago. Trek through terraced stone villages, lush forests, and dramatic river valleys, soaking up views of snow-capped peaks and meeting welcoming locals eager to share their way of life. The USP of this journey is its exclusivity: the Manaslu Conservation Area sees only a limited number of trekkers each year, preserving its pristine nature and cultural authenticity. For travelers who seek a rare blend of Himalayan grandeur and true cultural immersion, this trek offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience in an unspoiled setting.

Unlike the well-trodden Everest Base Camp route, the Manaslu Circuit Trekking tour offers a more secluded experience for young adults and experienced travelers alike. Officially opened to tourists only in 1991, this area remains pristine, rewarding trekkers with unspoiled landscapes and rich biodiversity.
The adventure starts from Kathmandu, with hiking beginning in Arughat. The toughest—and most rewarding—section is the ascent of Larke Pass (5,100m), with the trek’s varied elevation bringing constantly changing scenery. Along the way, you’ll enjoy stunning views of Manaslu (8,156m), the world’s eighth-highest peak, and encounter local cultures rooted in both Nepalese and Tibetan traditions.
While challenging, the trip is suitable for those in good shape prepared for daily hikes of up to six hours. The USP of this tour package is its rare access to a restricted area, offering a sense of discovery for trekkers craving something beyond the usual Himalayan routes.

Manaslu Circuit Trek weaves together adventure, culture, and breathtaking landscapes—a combo that’s making it a top choice for young adults looking for a less-traveled Himalayan route. Surpassing the popularity of the Annapurna Circuit in recent years, this tour package offers a rich journey along authentic trails that pass through ancient Tibetan-influenced villages, gleaming glaciers, and sacred monasteries.
The trek covers the diverse Manaslu Conservation Area, established in 1998 and home to a remarkable array of wildlife, including 33 species of mammals and over 100 species of birds. Over approximately 200 kilometers, trekkers ascend through six unique climatic zones, from tropical forests to arctic landscapes, with constantly shifting panoramas and weather patterns. Along the way, you’ll be treated to uninterrupted views of Mount Manaslu (8,163m)—"The Spirit Mountain"—and other Himalayan giants.
What distinguishes this adventure is its cultural richness, as you’ll walk trails shaped by centuries of Buddhist tradition, all while soaking up the dramatic contrasts in landscape. With fewer trekkers on the route, the Manaslu Circuit promises a more intimate, unspoiled trekking experience. This trip is designed for curious, energetic travelers eager to combine physical challenge with immersive cultural encounters—making it one of Nepal’s most rewarding treks.

My guide Raju was spectacular. He really knew how to get things done in the tea houses. The logistics are all taken care for you, no worries. I made some really good friends along the route that ended up staying in the same place multiple nights and had a lot of great conversation. The views of the hike were great and I think this is a great selection over EBC and Annapurna.
