Manaslu Circuit Trek

5.0(34 reviews)

This spectacular and isolated circular trek skirts around formidable Manaslu, the eighth-highest mountain in the world. We follow the mighty Buri Gandaki River as it narrows into a spectacular gorge, passing through tiny villages perched on valley sides. Eventually, the gorge opens out into alpine meadows inhabited by a cluster of Tibetan communities below the north face of Manaslu. After a steady ascent through increasingly remote mountain country, we take on the long crossing of the Larkya Pass, with views of the snow-capped peaks of Himalchuli, Manaslu, Cheo Himal and Himlung Himal, before descending through forest to join the main Annapurna Circuit route. Selected departures are led by Valerie Parkinson, Wanderlust World Guide Award winner (Best Tour Leader, 2021), celebrating 40 years of guiding Himalayan expeditions. See Dates & Prices. Why trek with us?

Annapurna Circuit Trek

5.0(34 reviews)

The Annapurna Circuit – considered the iconic trek in Nepal – is legendary in the hiking community for its unrivalled variety of landscapes. However, few trekking trips complete the route, often skipping the final leg, which means missing out on deserted trails and unforgettable nights in quiet teahouses. We just couldn’t do that. Join us to tackle the full lap, crossing high trails and the formidable Thorong La while enjoying superb views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountains and the ever-changing scenery. Based in teahouses throughout, we spend time in villages inhabited by many of Nepal’s different peoples, both Buddhist and Hindu. Selected departures are led by Valerie Parkinson, Wanderlust World Guide Award winner (Best Tour Leader, 2021), celebrating 40 years of guiding Himalayan expeditions. See Dates & Prices.

Manaslu Circuit Trek

5.0(51 reviews)

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.

Everest Base Camp Trek - Private Comfort Camps

5.0(57 reviews)

The classic route to Everest Base Camp and Kala Pattar, trekked in expedition style with private comfort camps and time to acclimatise.. Few trekking routes are as iconic as the trail to Everest Base Camp. Following in the footsteps of legendary mountaineers, this classic Himalayan journey takes us deep into Nepal's Khumbu region, through traditional Sherpa villages, across suspension bridges and beneath some of the highest mountains on earth. Along the way, the landscapes change from lush river valleys and rhododendron forests to rugged alpine terrain, with increasingly spectacular views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and the distinctive peak of Ama Dablam. The journey is as much about the places and people encountered along the trail as it is about reaching Base Camp. We pass through the bustling mountain town of Namche Bazaar, visit the beautifully situated Thyangboche Monastery and experience the warmth of Sherpa hospitality in villages that have supported Himalayan expeditions for generations. As we climb higher, the landscape becomes more dramatic, culminating in the walk alongside the Khumbu Glacier to Everest Base Camp (5,364m). An ascent of Kala Pattar (5,545m) rewards us with one of the finest panoramic views of Mount Everest and the surrounding Himalayan giants. What makes this trek particularly special is the comfort and support provided along the way. Rather than relying on the busy teahouses used by most trekking groups, we spend much of the journey in World Expeditions' exclusive private camps, set in carefully chosen locations away from the main trail. With spacious standing-height tents, comfortable beds, heated dining rooms and freshly prepared meals, these camps offer a welcoming place to relax at the end of each day's walk while retaining the atmosphere of a genuine Himalayan trekking adventure. Our itinerary allows time to acclimatise gradually, with experienced local guides and a dedicated Nepalese crew looking after the details so we can focus on the journey. Drawing on more than 50 years of trekking experience in Nepal, World Expeditions combines thoughtful planning, responsible porter practices and genuine local knowledge to deliver a well-supported experience on one of the world's great mountain trails.

Manaslu Around Trek

5.0(14 reviews)

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.
