Manaslu Circuit, Nepal

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Manaslu Circuit is a remote trekking route in the Gorkha District of Nepal, circumnavigating Mount Manaslu — the world's eighth-highest peak at 8,163 metres. The trail takes roughly 14–18 days to complete, crossing the dramatic Larkya La Pass at 5,106 metres and passing through ancient Tibetan-influenced villages, dense rhododendron forests, and high alpine terrain. Restricted to permit holders to preserve its natural and cultural integrity, it remains far less crowded than the Annapurna Circuit or Everest Base Camp routes. Trekkers are drawn here for its raw, off-the-beaten-path character, stunning Himalayan scenery, and the opportunity to experience traditional Gurung and Tibetan Buddhist culture largely untouched by mass tourism.
