Manaslu Circuit and Larkya Peak

Had the trip of a lifetime doing the Manaslu Circuit and an attempted climb of Larkya Peak with Sonam as my guide. We ultimately cancelled the climb due to the very high avalanche risk (there even ended up being one the day we were supposed to push up to high camp), but the circuit plus camping up at Larkya Pass to wake up to the sunrise views up there was magnificent in and of itself. Sonam was extremely knowledgeable about the area, where to stay in each town, and even had a good relationship with the locals to hook us up with some unique food options at times. Prakash was very easy to coordinate the trip with, and when the late season monsoon trapped us for a few days in Dharapani due to unsafe road conditions, he was extremely quick to coordinate a helicopter evac. We ultimately ended up being able to walk out, but having someone like that able to support you when conditions deteriorated was very reassuring. I will definitely do another trek/climb with this company the next time I come to Nepal. Thank you again for such a great experience!

Himalaya 360 Grad

Im Vergleich zu Annapurna Circuit oder 3-Passes-Trek noch eine Spur spektakulärer durch das 360 Grad-Erlebnis. Auch wenn der geplante Larkya Peak wegen eines Anflugs von Höhenkrankheit nicht erreicht wurde, war es eine tolle Tour.

Larkya Peak Expedition and Manaslu Circuit

Great adventure of a lifetime! Manaslu area is really one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to (even better that EBC I would say). In the end I was only climber to try to climb Larkya Peak (6249m), but I had to return at 5700m because of much snow, cold feet, little bit late and yes, tired too. I recommand to plan two highcamp-nights, so guides have enough time to prepare fixed ropes. And to start early (2am maybe). Summit day quite demanding, especially to get back to Bimthang on the same day. Namaste, Markus

Manaslu Circuit Trek trip - alternative tour available

Manaslu Circuit Trek

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? One of the highest staff-to-traveller ratios on the trek with one staff member to every four travellers More than 30 years’ experience organising treks in Nepal Carefully planned ascent rates and itineraries with built-in acclimatisation and contingency days Experienced English-speaking local leaders who are qualified in first aid and trained to recognise and deal with altitude sickness All staff (leaders, guides and porters) are fully insured and paid a fair wage Staff carry oxygen, a first-aid kit, and self-assessment acute mountain sickness cards, used to monitor every traveller at altitude Speak to our office staff who have done the trek themselves

Manaslu Circuit Trek trip - alternative tour available

Manaslu Circuit Trek

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 trip - alternative tour available

Everest Base Camp Trek - Private Comfort Camps

The classic route to Everest Base Camp and Kala Pattar, trekked in expedition style with Private Comfort Camps and time to acclimatise.. The Everest Base Camp Trek is a fully supported guided trek through Nepal's Khumbu region to Everest Base Camp (5,364m / 17,598ft), including the ascent of Kala Pattar (5,545m / 18,192ft) - the finest viewpoint in the region for Mount Everest (8,848m / 29,032ft), Lhotse (8,516m / 27,940ft) and Nuptse (7,861m / 25,791ft). No technical climbing experience is required, but you should be fit, active and comfortable with sustained days of walking on steep mountain terrain. What sets this trek apart from standard teahouse itineraries is where you sleep. Most nights on the trail are spent in World Expeditions' private comfort camps, set apart from the main trail, with standing-height tents, raised beds with thick mattresses and pillows, a heated dining room and composting sit-down toilets. The remaining nights are in handpicked lodges in key villages (two are basic due to limited options), with a comfortable hotel at either end in Kathmandu. The itinerary is paced deliberately for safe altitude gain rather than speed, with dedicated acclimatisation time built in rather than treated as optional. Guides are trained in remote wilderness first aid and carry a group medical kit and a portable altitude chamber. The route's gradual sleeping-altitude profile is what gives trekkers the best chance of reaching Base Camp feeling well, and it is the single biggest difference between a rushed itinerary and a successful one. The trail follows the classic route through the Sherpa heartland along the Dudh Kosi valley, with time in Namche Bazaar (3,440m / 11,286ft), the trading hub of the Khumbu, and at Thyangboche Monastery (3,860m / 12,664ft), the spiritual centre of the region. Beyond the treeline it climbs past Dingboche (4,360m / 14,304ft) on its alpine plateau beneath Ama Dablam (6,812m / 22,349ft), then follows the Khumbu Glacier to Gorak Shep (5,164m / 16,942ft), the last settlement before Base Camp. Everything you need on the trail is included: all meals prepared fresh by a dedicated trekking kitchen team, treated drinking water supplied hot and cold each day to remove the need for single-use plastic, return flights to the mountain airstrip at Lukla, all national park fees and trekking permits, and a gear pack containing a four-season down sleeping bag, fleece liner, down or fibre-fill jacket and a duffel carried by our porters. Groups are small and led by an expert local leader with a professional Nepalese crew. World Expeditions has been operating treks in Nepal since 1975. Our porters receive fair wages, insurance, protective clothing, food and shelter, and carry loads within set weight limits.

The adventure begins with a scenic flight into Lukla, followed by gradual acclimatisation as we make our way through Sherpa villages, including Namche Bazaar, Khumjung, and Khunde. The trek passes through monasteries such as Tengboche and Pangboche, offering moments of tranquility and insight into Sherpa Buddhist culture. Reaching Everest Base Camp at 5,364m (17,598ft) is a highlight, and during the peak expedition season from March to May, you may witness climbers preparing for their summit bids. This Everest Circuit Trek stays in Private Comfort Camps and carefully selected lodges. These private camps provide raised beds, clean linen, a heated dining room and a more immersive experience with our Sherpa team, who share their culture and stories along the way. With a well-paced itinerary featuring built-in acclimatisation days, this Everest Circuit Trek is suited for fit and adventurous trekkers looking for a challenge beyond the standard Everest Base Camp trek. Our all-inclusive approach ensures that meals, unlimited drinking water, domestic flights, permits, and porter assistance are included, along with a Trek Pack featuring a high-quality down jacket and sleeping bag, with no hidden costs.
