Manaslu Circuit Trek covers the excursion of Manaslu Conservation Area Project (MCAP)
Seeking an off-the-beaten-path Himalayan adventure? The Manaslu Circuit Trek invites young adults and seasoned trekkers to explore Nepal’s remote Gorkha district, where the route skirts the Tibetan Plateau and delivers a blend of culture, nature, and challenge. Traverse subtropical forests, terraced fields, and high alpine meadows, passing through isolated villages that offer glimpses into traditional Himalayan life.
The trek’s crowning achievement is crossing the exhilarating Larkya La Pass (5,135m), where panoramic views of Annapurna II, Gyagi Kang, and Himlung await. Built-in acclimatization days at Samagaun and Samdo help ensure safety and allow for deeper exploration of Buddhist monasteries and lama settlements steeped in Tibetan influence.
Descending through serene forests and meadows, you eventually rejoin the classic Annapurna circuit before returning to Kathmandu. The unique selling point? This trip offers both high-altitude drama and rare cultural immersion, with fewer crowds and a deeply rewarding trekking experience.
The Manaslu circuit trek is just wonderful. Beautiful views, great guide and porter and comfortable stays in welcoming lodges and tea houses.
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!
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.
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
Everything perfect, there was no problem during the whole tripWe were all on the summit
Manaslu Circuit was a terrific experience - great (and varied) scenery, right amount of challenge and enjoyable first time at altitude crossing Larkya Pass. Tea Houses were basic (as expected), comfortable enough and added to the overall experience - however the food became pretty tedious. Not sure why the "Tourism Board" insists on all tea houses having the exact same menu!
I choosed to hike the Manaslu Circuit during early in the season in order to get away from the crowds found on other treks in the area. Hiking up through bursting warm spring valleys to massive snow mountains is an absolute breathtaking experience. Manaslu is an absolute top trek in Nepal and should be on every hikers bucketlist!
Everything was arranged without problems and clearly explained to us, we got fantastic mountaineering guides Dawa Sherpa. Dawa is an excellent guide, one of the best I've had on all my trekking trips, so we were very happy with everything and thanks for that. Our Manaslu Circuit Trek was Outstanding. I will definitely recommend you to your friends and I will return to Nepal with your team in the next 2 years.
I had a wonderful experience trekking Manaslu Circuit with Ngtreks. The trek itself was fantastic- Everything went really well throughout the trek. It was a very positive trip - a fun and challenging trek in a beautiful place, and the staff were friendly and experienced. I'm sure I will be back in Nepal for another trek some day and I'd absolutely go with Nepal Guide again.
I visited Nepal more than 20 times over 15 years.Every time I visited Nepal, I feel like this my second home. Mr. Prakash and me know each other more than 10 years during the trekking in Everest Base Camp. Everything time I visit Nepal, Mr. Prakash helps me a lot.

That moment, from the views of stunning images of Annapurna, Kang guru, Himlung, and other mountains. That was magnificent. Everything went fine according to our plan.We don't need to worry about anything during our trekking. Everything provides by Nepal Guide treks is good.

We arrange our trek in Nepal with Nepal Guide Treks in Kathmandu.The trek was smooth as planned with the stunning surrounded scenery of Manaslu region, as we climb up more beautiful views can see from it.Our guide Sonam was very informative and knowledgeable and also porter was very strong and help to us many time in the way. He was concerned about us. The weather was amazing. We walk through many different villages and watching a glimpse of Nepali rural life.Trek through various trail, huge mountains, raging river and bamboo forest and all.We met very few peoples on the way, I think, it is not popular trekking route as par ABC or EBC but place is quite good and crowd free. Truly a perfect trek for us.
Auergewhnliches Trekking-Erlebnis in Manaslu Circuit Wir wandern den Manaslu Circuit fr 19 Tage und verbrachten 12 Tage in der Manasalu Region, was groartig fr mich und meinen Freund war. Dies ist das erste Mal fr mich, einen langen Tag Trekking zu machen, aber unser Guide Sonam Sherpa und Portier Rabin Tamang sind tolle Jungs, die uns anfeuern und ber verschiedene Dinge ber die Umgebung / Dorfkulturtradition erzhlen. Wir trafen einheimische Leute, um zu sprechen und den traditionellen himalayanischen Weg der Kultur und des Lebens zu sehen. Wir bewegen uns vorwrts die Manaslu Region, dort ist der spektakulre Blick auf den Berg. Manaslu und Ganesh Himal und andere schneebedeckte Berge. Alles lief reibungslos und gut, ohne dass jemand krank war. Alles hat gut funktioniert, dank sehr guter Organisation seitens des gesamten Teams von Nepal Guide Treks. Ich wrde sie wirklich jedem empfehlen, der an Trekking in Nepal denkt.
Hiking and trekking in Manaslu Circuit with Nepal guide Treks worked out so well. we do not have enough words to express our satisfaction and gratitude for the top level of service during the whole trek duration. Our guide Anjan provided plenty of valuable knowledge about this areas. Our Guide and porters were such a happy crew and always talking about cracking jokes. We can capture some of the photos during Manaslu trek. The best of Manaslu circuit trek is less crowded than Annapurna Circuit trek. I have done trekking around Annapurna circuit trek with other company, The surrounding environment is so beautiful and himalaya nature and close of view of Mt. Manaslu. Our guides and porters added so much helpful this trip. Thank you, Anjan, Gelu & the rest of the team.
I visited a couple times in Nepal. I especially love trekking and hiking.I already go to Annapurna Base Camp but this time, Me and my friend think about Manaslu Circuit which had awesome view of himalaya, nature and its climate was great told by my friend.so, my friend recommend Nepal guide Treks which more capable organize this trip. We love to see close view of Mt. Manaslu was awesome and the crossing of Larkey La pass was a great experience for me. Our Guide Sonam Sherpa and porters help us make a great & memorable trip. What I really loved about this trek , there were fewer people on this circuit compared to the Annapurna Circuit Trek. At last, Thanks for Nepal Guide Treks having a great time in Nepal.
