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.
The Annapurna Circuit is more than a trek—it's a legendary journey acclaimed by trekkers worldwide for its blend of dramatic landscapes, cultural encounters, and the thrill of conquering the formidable Thorong La Pass at 5,416 meters. Expect challenges along the way, but every effort is rewarded with sweeping Himalayan vistas and the warmth of local hospitality.
The route winds through the districts of Manang and Mustang, unique as the only Nepali regions "across" the mountains and enveloped by the Annapurna Range. Following the Marsyangdi River, trekkers traverse crystal-clear waterways, cross iconic suspension bridges, and experience the ever-changing tapestry of the Himalayas—from lush valleys to stark, high-altitude terrain.
What truly sets this trek apart is its rich cultural immersion. Along the trail, you’ll interact with diverse communities, discover age-old traditions, and witness life in remote mountain villages—experiences that bring Nepal’s vibrant culture to life.
The Annapurna Circuit’s unique selling point is its exceptional variety: in one tour, you’ll encounter towering peaks, challenging passes, and dynamic local culture. For adventurers with a love for both natural wonders and authentic interactions, this trek is an unmissable classic.

ANNAPURNA AND TILICHO LAKE!
My wife and I completed the Annapurna Circuit plus Tilicho Lake guided by Ramesh and portered by Ramo and the experience was perfect. Ramesh is truly the best guide in the world. Not only is he an encyclopedia and loved sharing information with us while trekking, he was smart, strategic, and patient all throughout the trip. He actively used his experience to guide us on the trek, making changes that would better our chances of crossing the pass and visiting Tilicho lake in the best way possible, which I appreciated. Ramesh is also very friendly and warm, which truly helped, as our experience literally felt like a perfect intertwine between a guided tour and a trek, which we greatly appreciated. To be able to do this at altitude with a variety of personalities, all while being patient must be respected. And I cannot and will not forget our porter Ramo: thank you so much for moving so quickly and efficiently (with our items on your back), better enabling us to lock in certain rooms at various tea houses to help ensure my wife and I rested comfortably throughout the trek. Thank you! Thank you Madhav, Ramesh and Ramo and we'll see each other again in a year our 2!
