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.

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.

Mount Kailash: Saga Dawa Festival

4.0(3 reviews)

Circle sacred Kailash alongside thousands of pilgrims during Saga Dawa, Tibetan devotion at full voice.. Mount Kailash has drawn pilgrims for centuries. Sacred to Buddhists, Hindus, Jains and Bonpo, and associated with the mythical Mount Meru, it remains one of Tibet’s most important pilgrimage destinations. This journey visits Kailash during the Saga Dawa Festival, when pilgrims gather to commemorate the birth, enlightenment and death of Buddha. Beginning in Chengdu, we travel to Lhasa before continuing overland through Gyantse and Shigatse towards Mount Kailash. The route crosses the broad plains and high passes of the Tibetan Plateau, with visits to monasteries, historic towns and sacred sites along the way. As we approach Kailash, the presence of pilgrims travelling for Saga Dawa becomes an important part of the experience. At Mount Kailash, we join Tibetan pilgrims on the sacred kora, a three-day walk around the base of the mountain. For pilgrims, completing the circuit is an act of devotion, with prayer, ritual and ceremony forming part of the journey around Kailash. After completing the kora, we continue to Kathmandu, bringing to a close an overland journey across Tibet shaped by its landscapes, pilgrimage traditions and the significance of Saga Dawa.
