Itinerary
Step off the beaten path and into the wild beauty of Nepal’s remote northwest with the Manaslu Trek—a 16-day adventure designed for young adults who seek both challenge and authenticity. This tour package guides you through the less-visited Manaslu region, offering encounters with local communities, ancient cultures, and pristine Himalayan scenery.
After a day’s preparation in Kathmandu, you’ll journey to Arughat or Sotilhola to begin your trek along the Budi Gandaki river valley. The route ascends gradually, passing through rural villages and captivating landscapes, with each day bringing you closer to the imposing peak of Mount Manaslu (8,163m)—the eighth highest in the world. The high point of the trek is the crossing of Larkya La Pass (5,320m), an exhilarating accomplishment for any mountain enthusiast.
A key highlight is the acclimatization stop in Samagaun, the final and largest settlement beneath Manaslu, where you’ll have time to acclimate and immerse yourself in the village’s unique atmosphere. The descent follows the Marshyangdi Valley, eventually connecting with the Annapurna Circuit and returning you to Kathmandu.
The unique selling point of the Manaslu trek is its exclusive access to a restricted, less-traveled region, providing a rare blend of untouched mountain vistas and deep cultural connections. With all meals, accommodation, and guiding included, this is a seamless adventure for those eager to discover Nepal’s hidden gems.

brilliant service
We like to recommend Nepal Footprint Trek for Nepal trekking and tours. This team is amazing and provides you brilliant service all time. We have been with them for Manaslu trek in 2019 which was just great trek. We had booked this trip with the friends’ recommendation. No complain at all. They provide us very warm sleeping bags and comfortable walking poles. Our guide was very informative and much closed with local people on the trek. Provided delicious meal and give us extra sight tours on the side trail. Only the road l likes to suggest taking a private jeep rather than local bus.
