The Manaslu Circuit Trek is one of Nepal’s most stunning and rewarding treks, taking you around the base of Mount Manaslu (8,163m), the world’s eighth-highest peak. Known for its wild beauty, cultural richness, and fewer crowds, this trek is a perfect choice for trekkers looking for an off-the-beaten-path adventure with all the grandeur of the Himalayas.

Located in the Gorkha region of central Nepal, the Manaslu trail winds through remote mountain villages, ancient Buddhist monasteries, and diverse landscapes ranging from lush lowlands to high alpine valleys. The trek takes you through traditional Tibetan-influenced communities, offering a glimpse into cultures and lifestyles untouched by modernity.

The journey begins in the subtropical forests near Machha Khola and gradually climbs into rugged terrain with breathtaking views of Manaslu, Himalchuli, and Ganesh Himal. A major highlight of the trek is the thrilling crossing of the Larkya La Pass (5,160m), one of the most dramatic and scenic high mountain passes in Nepal. From the top, you’ll enjoy incredible views of glaciers and snow-covered peaks stretching in all directions.

This trek lies within the Manaslu Conservation Area, rich in biodiversity and home to wildlife like Himalayan tahr, blue sheep, and even snow leopards. Since the region is a restricted area, a special permit is required, and trekkers must be accompanied by a licensed guide.

A perfect trek for those seeking wild beauty, cultural depth, and a true Himalayan adventure off the beaten path.

This trek weaves through the heart of the Langtang National Park, a pristine area of snow-capped peaks, glacial valleys, sacred lakes, and traditional villages untouched by time. It offers a remarkable blend of natural beauty, spiritual significance, and cultural diversity, all within a relatively accessible region just north of Kathmandu.

Unlike other popular treks, this route combines three incredible regions, Langtang, Gosaikunda, and Helambu, each with its own charm. Starting in Langtang Valley, you’ll trek to Kyanjin Gompa (3,870m) and enjoy panoramic views from Kyanjin Ri (4,773m). The journey continues to the sacred Gosaikunda Lakes (4,380m), a revered pilgrimage site, before crossing the high Laurebina Pass (4,610m). The trek ends in the serene Helambu region, known for its Buddhist monasteries and the warm hospitality of the Hyolmo and Tamang people.

You also support local communities still rebuilding after the 2015 earthquake, helping to sustain ecotourism in one of Nepal’s most authentic trekking regions.
