Tips for Guides and Porters
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 10–11 day adventure combines the best of Nepal’s natural beauty, cultural richness, and wildlife experiences. The journey begins in Kathmandu, Nepal’s vibrant capital, where ancient temples, bustling markets, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites introduce you to the country’s rich history and culture.
From Kathmandu, travel to Pokhara, the gateway to the Annapurna region. The serene Phewa Lake, panoramic Himalayan views, and relaxed lakeside atmosphere offer the perfect prelude to your trek.
The trek starts from Kande, ascending through terraced farmlands, charming villages, and dense rhododendron forests. Highlights include Ghorepani, a picturesque village perched on a ridge, and the iconic Poon Hill (3,210 m), where an early morning hike rewards you with breathtaking sunrise views over the Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Machapuchare, and Nilgiri ranges. Along the trail, you experience the warm hospitality of local Magar and Gurung communities, traditional villages, and scenic forested landscapes.
After descending to Hille, you return to Pokhara before heading to Chitwan National Park, located in Nepal’s subtropical Terai lowlands. Here, adventure meets wildlife as you explore the park via canoeing, guided jungle walks, and jeep safaris. You may spot one-horned rhinoceroses, deer, monkeys, crocodiles, and if lucky, even a Bengal tiger. Visiting the Tharu villages provides insight into the unique culture and traditions of the indigenous community.
The trip concludes with a return to Kathmandu, either by scenic drive or a short flight, leaving you with memories of Nepal’s majestic mountains, tranquil lakes, lush forests, and diverse wildlife. This journey is ideal for travelers seeking a balance of trekking adventure, cultural immersion, and wildlife exploration

Unlike other popular treks, this route combines three incredible regions, Langtang, Gosaikunda, and Helambu, each with its own charm.
