With Nepal being a country filled with mountains, it should not be a surprise that Manaslu Circuit Trek is a journey across the mountains. This is one of the ideal trekking experiences with a completely different view of Mount Manaslu, the eighth highest mountain in the world. For this, we have our 17 days Manaslu Trekking package.
The 17 days trek to Manaslu Larke La Pass will offer you a magnificent view of Mount Manaslu(8156m). You will experience the life and different natural belongings of the Manaslu Region.
This trekking can be the alternative destination for travelers who have been to Everest Base Camp Trek And Annapurna Circuit Trek.
In this trek, you will reach an optimum height of 5106 meters above sea level at Larke La Pass. During this journey to the peak, you will encounter the pristine flow of Budhi Gandaki River, along with enchanting interaction with the lifestyle, culture, tradition, and different environmental diversities of the Manaslu Region.
If you want an alternative to the Larke La Pass, you can alternate through the colorful Tsum Valley Trek with Manaslu Circuit. This small valley is filled with warm cups of tea and people and the rich customs and traditions of the Gurung community. You will experience the glorious Gurung tradition that reflects their Tibetan heritage in this alternate route.
The Manaslu Conservation Area project was formally started in 1998 to protect the flora and fauna of this magnificent travel destination after the government of Nepal officially started this trek route as the best trekking destination in 1992.
Besisahar of Lamjung is a final foot trail destination of this Manaslu trek. The way from Soti Khola of Gorkha to Besisahar of Lamjung offers you a magnificent view of Annapurna II, Nemjung, Himlung, and Cheo. Annapurna II in the West and Ganesh Himal in the east are some of the major attractions for you during this entire trek.
To start your Journey on this Circuit Trek on Manaslu conservation, you need a group permit. Since this trek lies within the restricted zone of Nepal, solo treks are not allowed, and two people are required for this trek.
Due to the region being so rural, you will not find any hotels or inns on this trekking route. The best you can get for Accommodation is at the local tea houses. These accommodation stations are simple, with two single beds per room, a shared washroom, and a common dining area. Although these Trekking Tea Houses in Nepal lack the luxury of a hotel, they are perfect for a warm and cozy evening by the fire.
Welcome And Namaste! On the first day of our trekking, the representatives of Mount Glory will receive all the enthusiastic trekkers at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA). Our representative will be showing the signboard of our organization at the TIA terminal so that you can recognize our representative easier.

This Village is famous for Gurungsettlement and its unique slate stone-built home. From here, we enjoy a remarkable view of Manaslu conservation during clear weather.
Although this trek is about the journey and not the destination, it's a good idea to take a break and just enjoy the place for a while. On our 10th day, this is what we will do. Here we get used to the climate before further ascension. There are some landmarks that you can visit, such as Pungyen Gompa and Birendra Tal as well.
After a light local breakfast, we resume our journey on the 11th day. The destination for this day will be Samdo Village. Similar to the previous day of trekking, this will be a slow ascend. Walking through Budi Gandaki River Valley, our eyes will constantly feast on the snow-capped mountains and open hills.

Larke La Pass is also known as Dharmashala, and we will be staying overnight at this Dharamshala.

We take an eight-hour walk and ascend the Magnificient Larkya La and Cho Danda as we continue our hike through Larkya Glacier and enjoy the stunning and constant view of the snow-capped mountains that glow in the sunlight around us.
These views include ranges like Cheo Himal, Annapurna 2, Himlung Himal, and other snow-capped hills from Larkya La pass. After a tough trek, our day ends with an overnight stay at the Bhimthang Village.

On the last day of our Manaslu Base Camp Trek, we descend 19 kilometers through the Dudh Khola to Thonje. Crossing the Marysangdi river, we finally reach Dharani. While descending, the change of scenario will be obvious to you as you see snowcapped mountains slowly melting their way to green hills covered with forests.
