Experience one of Nepal’s most scenic and rewarding trekking journeys with our professionally organized 16-Day Manaslu Circuit Trek Package. The beautiful Manaslu region offers an unforgettable adventure through peaceful mountain villages, deep river valleys, high mountain passes, ancient monasteries, and spectacular Himalayan views. This journey circles the world’s eighth-highest mountain, Mount Manaslu (8,163m), while taking you through one of Nepal’s best-preserved trekking regions.
Unlike the busier Everest Base Camp Trek and the famous Annapurna Circuit Trek, the Manaslu Circuit Trek offers a quieter and more peaceful experience. It is an excellent choice for trekkers looking for fewer crowds, beautiful landscapes, rich mountain culture, and an authentic Himalayan adventure. The trail passes through the protected Manaslu Conservation Area, where you can enjoy green forests, waterfalls, rivers, glaciers, alpine meadows, and traditional villages.
Our carefully designed Manaslu Circuit Trek begins in Kathmandu before a scenic drive to Machha Khola. The trail then continues through Jagat, Deng, Namrung, Lho, Samagaon, and Samdo before crossing the famous Larkya La Pass (5,106m). Along the journey, you will enjoy breathtaking views of Mount Manaslu, Himalchuli, Ngadi Chuli, Cheo Himal, Ganesh Himal, and many other snow-covered peaks.

This rest day is very important for a safe and successful Manaslu Circuit Trek.
