Manaslu Circuit Trek is one the best trekking destination to explore beautiful Manaslu region in Nepal. The Manaslu Region is spectacularly beautiful, it is situated in West-Central Nepal and lies along the border of Nepal and Tibet. Trekking in Nepal in the Manaslu region is controlled due to the sensitivity of its position on the Tibetan (Chinese) border. For Manaslu Circuit Trek a special restricted permit needs to be obtained by Himalayan Heart.
Manaslu Circuit Trek route is 177-km in length and you will require good level of stamina and fitness to trek through this route. En-route you will enjoy some fantastic mountain scenery, diverse range of ecosystems and ethnic cultures as you get closer to Tibet. You will pass through different geographycal topography and vegetation as youu climb up from an altitudes ranging from 375 m to 5,300 m.
Manaslu Circuit Trek is one that circles the great Manaslu-Himalchuli-Baudha Massif. The region was only opened to trekkers in 1991 and a special permit is required ($U.S.50 per week plus an extra $7 per days pent trekking). It is far less trekked than any of the popular regions, perhaps because of its remoteness. The Tibetans of the upper Budi Gandaki, a region known as Nupri are direct descendants of Tibetan immigrants. Their speech, dress and customs are Tibetan and there is still a lot of trade done across the border between Nupri and Tibet. The mountain views in Nupri are sensational and the Larke pass (5,213m) is one of the most dramatic Himalayan passes to cross in Nepal.
Many hard core trekkers rate the Manaslu Cicuit as one of the best in Nepal and whilst the going is tough at times, the rewards make up for all the personal effort.
The cost for the Manaslu Circuit Trek can vary depending on several factors such as the season, duration of the trek, and the trekking agency you choose. However, on average, the cost for the Manaslu Circuit Trek can range from USD 1000-1500 per person. This cost usually includes the following:

A cultural exploration day is due in Kathmandu today. We get to visit the amazing historic and cultural sites during a full day exploring Kathmandu. The tour today mixes culture, history and spirituality together to give you an exceptional city touring experience.
After breakfast we leave the busy frenetic Kathmandu behind and set off west along the Kathmandu-Pokhara Highway towards the village of Soti Khola. It’s a lovely drive passing through rural communities, small towns, green terraces, and lush hillsides on the way. We turn off the main highway toward the hilltop village of Dhading. The road eventually becomes a rutted, dirt path and around here we start to get views of the southern slopes of Annapurna, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, and Langtang Himal.
We reach Soti Khola, located in the Bhudi Gandaki Valley, in time for dinner.
Transport: Private 4×4 jeep
Driving time: 8-10 hours (88 miles / 141.3 km)
In Soti Khola we begin our journey it’s a great start trekking through various landscapes including forests, rice paddies, a cliff-face ridge, a rushing river, and several beautiful waterfalls. Soon in we cross a bridge, before a trek up through a forest, then climb onto a ridge above the wild rapids of Budhi Gandaki River. We then follow a rocky trail to Khursane passing two cascading waterfalls as we steadily make our way on the trail that clings to the cliff. We need to descend past a few rice paddies and continue up to the lovely picturesque Gurung village of Labubesi.
From the village we follow along a rocky outcrop,its around here the valley opens up next to the river which flows more peacefully now. We head down to the river bank and follow it for a while before climbing over a side ridge. Then back down again to the river and cross another suspension bridge to reach our overnight destination Machha Khola. Great introduction today.
Trekking time: 6-7 hours
Trekking distance: 8 miles (14 km)
After breakfast in Machha Khola, we follow the gorge and continue up the river. The trail is narrow at first with a few gentle ups and downs before eventually crossing the Tharo Khola to reach Khorlabesi. After more ascents and descents, we arrive at a small hot spring in Tatopani—where we take a break!
From here we need to climb over another ridge before crossing the Budhi Gandaki on a suspension bridge. Soon after we have a stone staircase to negotiate and then head over another ridge to Dobhan and yet another suspension bridge over the Yaru Khola, staircases all the way today we have another one to climb and then drop to the river and yet again more stone stairs to Tharo Bharyang. Keep an eye out for neat Gurung villages in the jungle high above, as well as Langur monkeys, which roam the region.
Crossing the west bank of the Budhi Gandaki, we climb over a ridge, trek along the river and then climb towards the village of Jagat. At last no more staircases or suspension bridges but a great and very varied day none the less.
Trekking time: 6-7 hours
Trekking distance: 13.7 miles (22 km)
On the sixth day of the Manaslu Circuit trek, embark on a journey from the starting point in Jagat at an elevation of 1,410 meters, with the ultimate destination being Dang, situated at an impressive altitude of 4,620 meters. The day unfolds with a departure from Jagat, tracing the trail that meanders alongside the Budhi Gandaki River. Traverse through charming villages, immersing yourself in the cultural tapestry of the region. The trek involves a gradual ascent through diverse landscapes, encompassing verdant forests and expansive open terrain. As the day progresses and Dang draws near, take a moment to marvel at the awe-inspiring mountain vistas, notably the majestic Manaslu peak. Upon reaching the high-altitude destination of Dang, revel in the stunning panoramic views and soak in the serene atmosphere at 4,620 meters. The evening offers an opportunity to explore the surroundings and make preparations for the adventures that lie ahead in the trek. It is crucial to note that trekking conditions, distances, and altitudes may vary, necessitating preparedness, proper hydration, and mindfulness of one's physical well-being. Always stay informed by checking the latest updates and consulting with local guides for accurate and up-to-date details on the trail.
Starting Point: Jagat (1410 m)
Ending Point: Dang (1860m)
After breakfast in Deng today is a day for getting more involved with mountain culture First cross the Budhi Gandaki river and climb up to the bridge, where we soon meet the trail to Bi. We head west up the valley passing through lush forests, alpine vegetation, and quaint villages that house the ethnic groups of the Manaslu region and then very slowly the major peaks start to appear in the distance, magic!
We take a break at the village of Prok with a great view of snow capped Siringi Himal. We move on to cross the Budi Gandaki several times today passing several gompas along the way. We follow the river upstream through a dense forest that leads to a narrow gorge. The forest eventually becomes less dense. This is wilderness, a magnificent way to experience the Manaslu Conservation Area. We have one last steep climb to the village of Namrung.
Trekking time: 6-7 hours
Trekking distance: 12.1 miles (19.5 km)
There is a good viewpoint in Namrung, of Siring, Ganesh Himal, and also Mount Himal Chuli to the south. Back on the trail we first climb steadily passing through forests to reach Lihi, a beautiful village with many stupas and barley terraces. The trail then drops and crosses the side valley of Simnang Himal with Ganesh Himal always close by.
We pass through the village of Sho and on to Lho here there are great views of Manaslu with time to explore the famous Ribung Gompa. Continuing on there is a true high mountain feel at Shyala village surrounded by Himal Chuli and Peak 29 (Ngadi Chuli) to the left, Manaslu and large glaciers straight ahead of us. Other snow capped peaks can be seen to the right, and at the far end stands Ganesh Himal. Our journey today ends in Samagaon where we spend the night. Another great day among many so far!.
Trekking time: 6-7 hours
Trekking distance: 10.9 miles (17.7 km)
We take today off helping our bodies adjust to the altitude. There’s an optional day hike which should really be done,it provides some rich Sherpa culture. Thousands of mani (prayer)stones with texts, as well as Sherpa women clad in traditional clothes and ornaments. We can hike up to a little hill near the Sama village where there is an old gompa—Pungyen Gompa—a monastery with great views of the glacier.
After breakfast in Samagaon, we descend to the Budhi Gandaki River and then follow it to a bridge over a side stream. Yet more mani walls, these people are intensely religious. As the valley begins to widen, the mountain views are amazing we are now very close to the Tibetan border.
The trail levels on a shelf above the river, we pass juniper and birch forests in Kermo Kharka. and then drop down and cross the Budhi Gandaki on a wooden bridge, before climbing steeply onto a promontory between two forks of the river. We come to a stone archway and continue walking until we reach the village of Samdo. Nice short day.
Trekking time: 4 hours
Trekking distance: 10.1 miles (16.4 km)
After breakfast in Samdo another fascinating day awaits first we pass a colourful seasonal Tibetan market called Larke Bazaar before descending to the Budi Gandaki River. Crossing it over the wooden bridge and begin to follow upward, crossing two streams while the Larkya Glacier keeps us company on our way. We skirt around the valley of the Salka Khola then climb up again to Dharamsala, also known as Larke Phedi. Along the route we pass many traditional monasteries.
Today’s shorter hike leaves time for acclimatization and relaxing in the afternoon.
Trekking time: 4-5 hours
Trekking distance: 7.2 miles (11.7 km)
A long and sometimes testing day that can take many people out of their comfort zone. so a hearty breakfast in Dharamsala is needed. it’s definitely more challenging today but with many rewards as we go.We encounter a number of rustic villages, we pass clear glacier lakes, trek through beautiful valleys with a wide range of flora and fauna, not to mention some stunning snow capped peaks.
After a short climb to the north side of the Larkya Glacier there are some awesome views of Cho Danda and Larkya Peak. Tough going as we walk across the moraine of the glacier, making a gradual ascent at first which becomes a lot steeper in the last section of the pass. From the pass it is just amazing there are outstanding views of Himlung Himal, Cheo Himal, and the massive Annapurna II. With the hard bit over our reward is a walk down into the misty low pastures in the early evening with Mount Manaslu looming in the distance.
Trekking time: 7-9 hours
Trekking distance: 15.3 miles (24.7 km)
The trail descends along the fig tree and rhododendron fortes, through the rocky riverbed and sliding hillsides to several small green villages. Eventually, after a long but very scenic day, we reach the large village of Tilje, inhabitants of a mix of Manang is (of Tibetan descent) and Chettris (Hindus), so have a unique architecture and culture and eat mixed foods - Dal Bhat, buckwheat Dhido, Tsampa, and Tibetan salt-tea. It's an easy trekking day following the Dudh Khola through bamboo forests about 1½ to 2 hours walk down, we see ahead marks of ACAP (Annapurna Conservation Area Project) board at Dharapani. Now we are in Annapurna Circuit Trekking main trail, an atmospheric Tibetan village with prayer flags fluttering at the Gomba in Thongje. We will stay overnight at the tea house.
Accommodation: Teahouse
In Dharapani, the Manaslu Circuit Trek program concludes as you travel through the beautiful countryside to Kathmandu. A direct route from Dharapani to Besishar may require a four-hour journey. From Besishar onward, the road is paved. After a hearty breakfast, we will thank our porter and guides before boarding a private Jeep to go to Kathmandu. We will follow the trail and travel to Kathmandu via the Prithvi highway

The main seasons for trekking are the spring (Mar to May) and autumn (Sep to Nov) when you’ll have clear skies and superb mountain views. The winter (Dec to Feb) is also a great time to visit— these months offer a unique experience and fewer crowds but lower altitude treks are better at this time of year as its cold at night.
During the monsoon season (Jun to Aug), most of Nepal experiences heavy rain for a few hours each day. It’s humid, wet, and the trails in the lower regions (Ghorepani, Ghandruk, Langtang, etc) can be quite muddy. If you don’t mind the rain you’ll have the trails to yourself, the skies often clear up in the morning, and certain treks offer stone-paved trails that drain the rain and make for easy trekking. Also, certain regions, like Mustang and the upper reaches of Everest, lie in the rainshadow of the Himalaya and receive little rain but views however are still likely to be restricted.
Private tours are tailor-made itineraries built by us around your travel dates and personal interests, whereas group trips are pre-packaged and depart on specific dates. Group trips are also open for others to join, whereas private trips are just for you. You will find a list of fixed departure dates on our website.
For most nationalities, you can your visa on arrival in Kathmandu. It takes around 45 minutes and is the most convenient way to get your visa you will need passport size photos.. You can also apply for a visa in advance from a local Nepali consulate in your country if you’d like to have everything arranged in advance. Cost15 Days – 25 USD / 30 Days – 40 USD / 90 Days – 100 USD
For mountain flights, you’re allowed 5 kg. carry-on to the plane and 10 kg. for checked-in luggage. For non-mountain sector flights, the check-in allowance increases to 20-25 kg.
If you’re mainly looking to experience Nepal’s cultural and natural highlights, you can have a great experience in 5-9 days, where you can visit two regions (likely Kathmandu and Pokhara perhaps go on Safari at Chitwan). If you intend to go trekking consider at least 10 days (more is better) to have enough time to reach higher altitudes and safely acclimatize if need be.To undertake one of the longer, classic treks in Nepal or to combine multiple regions and activities into one visit, think about 14-20 days and more if possible.
Himalaya Heart organises complete tours, meaning everything is taken care of from the moment you arrive in Nepal to the moment you leave, including all of your accommodation in a three star Hotel. If you require better accommodation please let us know and we can arrange this and adjust the tour cost accordingly. Each of our tour pages shows clearly what is and what is not included in the tour price.
Personal expenses (tips, soft drinks, bar bills, laundry, telephone calls, donations, and extra snacks, etc) are not included in your tour price. When checking a particular trek page on our website we have clearly stated what is and what is not included. If you’re going trekking, the only things you’ll need to pay for out of pocket are wifi and battery charging (when available), extra meals outside of what’s included, alcohol, and soft drinks and perhaps hot showers.
Yes, it is possible to go for the Manaslu Circuit trek without a guide, but it is important to be well-prepared and have some experience in trekking. The Manaslu Circuit trek is a challenging trek that requires physical fitness, good health, and prior experience in high altitude trekking. It involves crossing high-altitude passes, trekking through remote villages, and dealing with unpredictable weather conditions.
If you plan to go for the Manaslu Circuit trek without a guide, you should obtain the necessary permits, plan your route, pack appropriate gear, carry enough cash, stay in tea houses or campsites, hire a porter if necessary, stay hydrated and well-fed, and respect the local culture. It is also important to have a basic understanding of first aid and navigation skills, as well as the ability to deal with any emergency situations that may arise during the trek.
However, it is recommended that you go with a guide or a trekking agency, especially if it is your first time trekking in Nepal or if you are not familiar with the local culture and language. A guide can provide valuable assistance in navigating the trail, ensuring your safety, and providing insights into the local culture and customs. They can also help you in case of any emergencies or unforeseen situations that may arise during the trek.
If this trip is not suitable for you. We can make Tailor Made Trip for you.

I had a very nice trek in the Manaslu area with my friends thanks to our guide Raj Everything was well organized; transport from and to airport, stay in Kathmandu, food and sleepingplaces during the trek, etc. The trek was beautiful and not too hard for a normal hiker like me. Raj was very kind, easy going, flexible and helpful. I would definitely recommand him and his organisation! Worth every penny!

Amazing Holiday 2023
21st November, 2023
This was my fifth stay in the beloved Himalayas and the first with a guide. I must admit that I had some reservations about this. As it turned out, it was completely unfounded. Already on the first day of trekking around Manaslu, Hari turned out to be a man perfectly suited to his job. The following days made me realize what a great guide he is. And it's not about proper professional preparation, but about the passion with which he performs his duties. A passion that he infects others. Only in a positive way 😊 Over twenty years of professional experience plus individual character traits create such a fantastic mix that being with Hari is pure pleasure. Sense of humor. Great contact. Customer approach. Full control over everything important. Care. I really felt safe with Hari. Even something as important in the high mountains as acclimatization was organized almost encyclopedically. I am very impressed with Hari's knowledge and experience. And privately. Privately, I can say that I love meeting good people in my life. And still with passion. And Hari is one of these people. Man. Guide. My friend 😊 I really hope that this will not be our last meeting. On the other hand, I envy anyone who decides to use Hari's services. You are looking for a professional. You've already found it. I sincerely recommend it 😊

Manaslu Circuit/Larkya La Pass
Oct 2023 • Couples
We chose to do the Manaslu Circuit/Larkya La Pass trek which we customised to take 12 days with one rest day and a travel day at the start and end of the trek.
On arrival into Kathmandu we were greeted by Krishna who was friendly, welcoming and most importantly able to assist us in getting to our hotel.
While on the trek we had a guide called Hari. He has been in the business for over 20 years and therefore has a wealth of experience in both hiking, altitude, Nepali knowledge and tea house experience. He ensured throughout the trek that we had up to date advice on what to eat, what pace to walk to prevent altitude sickness as well as companionship and laughter.
The food from the tea houses was nothing short of excellent! Varied and tasty, served quickly and always with such politeness!
Our porter was called Kapil. He was incredibly hard working, efficient and tried very hard to get involved in speaking English. He would always greet us with a smile and was ever ready to take on the challenge of the next day. Hari our guide was always ensuring that Kapil was happy and comfortable, which for us was really sweet and showed a real team effort within the company itself.
I would recommend this trekking company and especially Hari as a guide due to the positive experience we had. I will definitely be spreading this through work of mouth to friends and family back home!

Manaslu Circuit Trek
Oct 2023 • Couples
We completed the Manaslu circuit trek with our amazing guide Hari and porter Kapil. I believe it was down to his knowledge of the mountains and the care and attention he gave us that we where able to complete the trek.
Nothing was ever too much to ask and he provided information and guidance whenever we needed. I would highly recommend Hari as a guide and Himalaya Heart.
Kapil our porter was very friendly and helpful, he took the time to get to know us and helped however he could, I would also highly recommend him.
