Manaslu Round Trekking
18 Days
Description
The Manaslu Round Trekking, also popularly known as the Manaslu Circuit Trek in 2026, is one of Nepal’s most rewarding and less-crowded Himalayan adventures. Opened to trekkers in 1992, this restricted-area trek circles the majestic Mount Manaslu (8,163m), the world’s eighth-highest peak, offering a perfect blend of dramatic mountain scenery, rich cultural heritage, and incredible biodiversity.
Starting from the historic town of Gorkha, home to the ancient palace of King Prithvi Narayan Shah, the trail follows the dramatic Budhi Gandaki River valleya; stunning, steep-sided gorge formed by glacier river. You’ll walk through lush subtropical forests, terraced rice fields, roaring waterfalls, and picturesque Gurung and Tibetan-influenced villages. As you gain altitude, the landscape transforms into high alpine meadows before culminating in the thrilling crossing of Larkya La Pass at 5,135 meters.
This 18-day Manaslu Round Trekking package is designed for trekkers seeking an authentic, off-the-beaten-path experience. Unlike the busier Annapurna Circuit, the Manaslu region still retains its remote charm while providing comfortable teahouse and lodge accommodation along the route.
