Manaslu Circuit Trek is an off-the-beaten trekking journey that circles the eighth-highest mountain in the world, Mt. Manaslu (8,163 meters). The restricted trail borders Tibet and is home to Buddhist monasteries and diverse ethnic communities.

You’ll be heading to the restricted Manaslu region, which is rich in both flora and fauna. It has 33 species of mammals, 110 species of birds, 3 species of reptiles, and nearly 2000 species of flowering plants.

The trek offers a panoramic view of the Himalayas – Mount Manaslu (8163m), Himlung Himal (7126m), Ngadi Himal (7871m), Ganesh Himal (7406m), and Annapurna II (7937m). Even though the trek is less popular than Everest or Annapurna, it has caught the eye of adventurous trekkers who seek peace and solitude.

Your journey to Manaslu Circuit begins from a drive to Maccha Khola, Gorkha. Only after reaching the starting point, your actual hike begins on the second day towards Jagat.

You’ll follow a wonderful and scenic trail in the restricted region of Manaslu. You’ll visit traditional villages of Deng, Namrung, Lho, Samagaun, Samdo, Dharmashala, Bhimtang, and Dharapani.

While circling Mt. Manaslu, you’ll meet Gurung, Brahmin, Chhetri, Tibetan, and Nubri people. This means you can socialize and learn about the culture of different ethnic groups of Nepal. Most importantly, you’ll get a glimpse of what actual village life is.

The highlight of the Manaslu Circuit Trek is the Larkya La Pass on the eleventh day. It’s considered one of the longest passes in the Himalayas and is at an elevation of 5,106 m.

As you can see, the elevation is above the 5000 m mark, so the risk of altitude sickness is pretty high here. So, we highly recommend packing the necessary medications and sticking with your guide at all times.

Many of you might be willing to get to the Manaslu Base Camp (4,800 m) on the seventh day. In fact, it’s even possible to extend your trekking duration by including Tsum Valley in your itinerary plans. It’s all up to you, really!

Another essential thing to consider during this journey is the permits. Since you’ll be in the restricted region, you have to have multiple entry permits in order to complete the trek. Getting them all by your own can be a headache, and choosing a trustworthy travel agency is a must.

The 13 Days Manaslu Circuit Trek in Nepal offered by Mount Glory Treks begins from Machha Khola. Well, most of you might be wondering why we are not mentioning Kathmandu. That’s because we do not want you to rush at all!

Let’s be honest. You’d already be tired from your long flight and the best thing to do for the first 2-3 days is to take proper rest so that you can save energy for the trekking days ahead.

Trust us when we say this–Manaslu Circuit is one of the best trekking routes in the country. Hence, Mount Glory Treks wants you to enjoy every part of this journey.

Also, keep in mind that you need to get permits, which, if not properly proceeded, can cause delays. Although our company is all responsible for this arrangement, we have to keep you updated at times.

Lastly, Kathmandu is itself so beautiful and since you’ve come this far, we aren’t letting you go without visiting the capital city of Nepal. So, take a tour of Kathmandu before your actual Manaslu circuit trek begins.

If you’re also one of those who is planning to complete the Manaslu Circuit Trek in 13 days, these details by Mount Glory are exactly what you need!

Why Trek in Off-Beaten Restricted Trail of Manaslu Circuit?

Why Choose Mount Glory Treks for Manaslu Circuit Trek?

For many other treks in Nepal, you’d likely go solo or even hire local people as your guides. However, this Manaslu Circuit trek is completely different.

First and foremost, it’s in the restricted zone of Manaslu Conservation Area, and getting its permit is a hard thing. Honestly, you might even be rejected if the respected authority sees you as a potential threat.

And since Mount Glory offers licensed guides for your safety, help arrange proper porter services, provides you transparent pricing, and has already got satisfied guests, we highly suggest you travel with us.

13 Days Manaslu Circuit Trekking Major Attractions

Many trekkers visit the Manaslu region to learn the Tibetan lifestyle and culture. Our guests have always been positive after their return. So, we guarantee you that your trek is going to be worth it if you’re here to experience just that.

Let’s talk about the views and natural scenery first. After entering the Manaslu Preservation Range, you’ll cross multiple suspension bridges, wooden bridges, bamboo woodlands, and Tibetan & Gurung villages.

This entire region falls near the Budhigandaki Waterway. Also, the views of mountains from the Great Himalayan Trail, which includes Mount Manaslu (8163 m), Himlung Himal (7126 m), Ngadi Himal (7871 m), Ganesh Himal (7406 m), and Annapurna II (7937m) is breathtaking.

You might have heard of Nepal having multiple ethnic groups and a diverse cultural background. While you’ll get to see and learn that from Kathmandu itself, the Manaslu Circuit Trek shall give you a deeper dive into this subject. The main ethnic groups here include Gurung, Brahmin, Chhetri, Tibetan, and Nubri.

Base Camp of the Eighth Highest Mountain Mount Manaslu(8163m)

If you love visiting the base camps of the highest mountains in the world, add Manaslu Base Camp to your bucket list. Of course, you’re taking a round of Mt.

Manaslu, so reaching the base camp is the bare minimum you can do, if you can’t summit it.

We’ll be trekking to Manaslu Base Camp on the seventh day of this journey. You’ll be starting from Samagaun and it’s just a few kilometers uphill climb to reach the 4,800 melevation.

Since Manaslu Base Camp is not that far, you can even pay visits to other iconic locations in the region. We’ll discuss them shortly.

Adventurous and captivating Larkya La Pass at 5106 m

After walking for almost ten days in the Manaslu region, you’ll be hiking to the highest point of the trek, Larkya La Pass at 5,106 m on the eleventh day.

Do note that hiking on this part of the trail is the most difficult and challenging. So, adventure lovers will love this section. And the hike becomes even more difficult during the snow.

From the top, you’d be able to soak in the views of Manaslu, Manaslu North, Samdo Peak, Naike Peak, Larke Peak, and Cheo Himal.

Traditional Villages in Manaslu Region

Coming to the villages, you’ll be passing through Machha Khola, Jagat, Deng, Namrung, Lho, Samagaun, Samdo, Dharmashala, Bhimtang, Dharapani, and finally Besisahar. 

These were the main ones. Other tiny villages also exist there, which we have discussed in detail in the itinerary section (don’t miss that part for full story reveal).

Moreover, the Manaslu Circuit Trek takes you to the Tibetan Border once you reach Samdo Village. It takes about a few extra hours of hiking and you get to see as well as interact with the Bhotia community.

Extra Hiking Takes You to More Serene Locations

While Manaslu Base Camp and the enchanting Larkya Las pass are the key highlights of this journey, there are still other locations that Mount Glory highly recommends to visit. But note that you have to hike extra during your acclimatization days, or for some of you, an extra might be needed.

The serene Birendra Lake at about 4,500 m is one of them. It takes about 4-5 hours of extra hiking from Samdo Village to reach there. Don’t forget to capture tons of pictures and videos once you’re here.

Another amazing landmark to go for is the Samdori Hills. Please note that this is not recommended for beginners and amateurs though. It’s hard to reach and can take an entire day to reach and come back. Yet, the view of the mountains is breathtaking from here.

Finally, there’s also Pungyen Gumba in the Manaslu Circuit trekking trails. This happens to be a 400-year-old monastery and is about 9-10 km from the Samagaun Village and takes about 5-6 hours.

Itinerary

Local Bus to Machha Khola

Once you’re all set and done, the first day of the trip begins as we head towards Machha Khola. This is going to be a 9-hour long drive from Kathmandu.

While there are public buses that take you to the destination, Mount Glory has arranged private jeeps to ensure the drive is as comfortable as possible. This way, we get to stop by at different places and you can peek into different sections of the Kathmandu-Gorkha route.

Note that Gorkha is the same district where Nepalese Gurkhas are from. And we’re pretty sure you’ve heard of them at least once in your life. During your Manaslu circuit trek, you’ll get to witness these brave soldiers’ villages.

Don’t be surprised when you meet locals and they share incredible stories, which is another bonus point during this trip.

Getting back to the jeep drive, you’ll be passing through different hills, rivers, traditional houses, local farmlands, snow-capped peaks, and overall stunning scenes. Our professional guide will give you the entire information you’ll be seeking.

Machha Khola Bazar

But be prepared as the drive can be a little tiresome to many as the roads are pretty bumpy here in Nepal. You’ll be passing through forests and the nature with fresh air shall touch your skin the moment you get past dusty Kathmandu.

We shall be stopping by local tea houses for lunch and snacks. You’ll get to experience local food, mainly Dal Bhat as it gives you 24-hour power (you’ve probably heard that metaphor, or at least going to hear it throughout this Nepal trip)!

Trishuli and Budhi Gandhaki are the main highlights of this day, which have great religious importance too. Once you reach Machha Khola, you’ll already be in one of the remote regions in Nepal.

  • Max. Altitude:870m/140km-Distance
  • Time:8/9 hours drive
  • Accommodation:Tea House
  • Meals:Lunch and Dinner

Way to Jagat Village from Machha Khola

The actual trek begins this day. You’ll be heading from Maccha Khola to Jagat in what would be 6-7 hours of walking through the forest, crossing multiple bridges.

Your day shall start early with a local Nepali breakfast and your favorite drink–tea or coffee! Make sure you pack all your stuff and communicate well with the guide and porters on what to do next.

Usually, the trek begins at 7 AM. So, we expect our guests to wake up as early as 6 AM so that they can freshen up and have their breakfast as fast as they can. Remember that you won’t be accompanied by personal washrooms from here, so it will be on a sharing basis with the entire tea house crew.

As soon as your hike begins, you’ll be mesmerized by Nepal’s local village lifestyle and you’ll even be followed by lovely dogs, who are even worshipped during the Tihar festival. If you love these furry friends, they might even be your trek buddies for the next 13 days.

You’ll be passing through the Budhi Gandaki River and its sound is just the thing you need. It’s going to be as beautiful as you have seen in the Nepal videos and more importantly, you’ll be experiencing this yourself now!

Not to forget there are waterfalls along the way and some of our guests just love to take a quick shower here. The feeling? It’s out of this world!

The hike on this day isn’t that strenuous with a mostly straight path. So, you’ll be enjoying most part of the day and we’ll also be stopping by to taste Dal Bhat yet again. That’s going to be the meal for the rest of your trip and we’re pretty sure when you return back, you’ll miss these.

You’ll even stop by the Budhi Gandaki riverside where you can enjoy your snacks. One important thing we want to humbly request is not to litter when you’re doing the Manaslu circuit trek.

You’re going to pass through the beautiful villages of Khorlabesi, Tatopani, Dovan, and Thulo Dunga. The final stretch shall take you to Jagat, where you’ll be spending the night.

In this Manaslu circuit trek, you’ll be passing through the Gorkha-Lamjung border and then reach Manang.

 

  • Max. Altitude:1290m/22km-Distance
  • Time:6-7 hours walk
  • Accommodation:Tea House
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Way to Deng

Just like the earlier day, your trek this day begins as early as possible so that you can reach the destination in time. The idea is not to make the walk until late in the evening as it’s going to be difficult to hike during the night time.

Note this: you’ll be climbing a rocky ridge, and you’ll feel the adventure has just begun. Unlike the other day, the ascend starts from the very first day. So, make sure you have a hearty breakfast.

While you’re hiking, the stunning view of Sringi Himal (7,187m) is going to be your inspiration. Think of it this way: if you’re already seeing the mountains so close to here, imagine what it would be like to reach the top!

Keeping yourself motivated is very important throughout this Manaslu Circuit Trek. So, make sure you communicate with the other trek members, sharing your stories and listening to theirs. That’s the best part of our lives, right?

You’ll be passing through Sidibas Bazar, then cross a suspension bridge to reach Nagjet. The stop can be anywhere between these regions for lunch. One tip is that don’t overeat during this period as we have noticed that many guests find it difficult to walk, and also the real ascend begins from this very point.

Once you reach Philim, you’ll start seeing the rich fields of maize, potato, and millet. And slowly through the bamboo forest, the guides will lead you to Nipri. The destination is much closer now, as a few more steady steps shall take you to Deng, a beautiful Buddhist village.

For your dinner, you can try their momo—it’s delicious! A skip from the regular Dal Bhat and it’s much lighter too.

  • Max. Altitude:1860m/20km-Distance
  • Time:5/6 Hours Walk
  • Accommodation:Tea House
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Trekkers walking towards Namrung Village

Many try to aim for Lho on this day but to ensure proper acclimatization, Mount Glory Treks recommends you to reach Namrung on the fourth day.

Note that the Manaslu Circuit trek is a high-altitude trek and in case you suffer from altitude sickness hiking too fast, you just have to make a return to the lower altitude region. Why do that when you can take the trek slowly and safely while enjoying it fully, right?

The village of Deng is itself big, so you’ll be passing through this village while acknowledging the beauty of the different types of farms present here. After ascending 100 meters, you’ll reach Rana (1,910m).

Also, the higher your ascend, the cleaner the water source of Budhi Gandaki. The valley looks mesmerizing as you go uphill–you’ll be soaking yourself in nature this day with the river just by your side.

The highlight part of this day is the rhododendron forest. If you’re doing the Manaslu circuit trek during the spring/summer season, you’ll even get to witness the national flower of Nepal. It will be all blooming covering most part of the forest, which is another sight not to miss.

Just like that while appreciating how beautiful these Nepali forests and villages are, you’ll have ascended approximately 700 meters to reach the destination—Namrung Village.

  • Max. Altitude:2660m/19 km-Distance
  • Time:5-6 Hours Walk
  • Accommodation:Tea House
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Lho Village

As we mentioned earlier, if you’re a regular trekker, it wouldn’t be that difficult for you to reach Lho. In fact, we even have an 8-day short Manaslu Trek itinerary which says the same.

Anyways, this guide is for beginners and comparatively the best one too, as you won’t just hurry to reach the top but rather take it slow. This way, you get to indulge yourself even more in the Nepali culture and learn the lifestyle of the villagers.

So, on the fifth day, you’ll be ascending about 500 meters to reach Lho. The highlight of this day is going to be the beautiful mountains. Mt. Manaslu’s sight gets even closer from this day onwards.

Don’t forget to look back on the trail you’ve covered. Those beautiful hills and villages as your background picture shall be a great. You’re going to miss these moments when you’re back home.

You’ll even get to see barley fields and how hard Nepalese villages work to make their living. Sometimes, it becomes emotional and it reminds us all of how lucky we all are. Thoughts like these come passing by as you move towards Lihi and finally to Lho.

During your accommodation in Lho, you’ll now realize that you’ve already crossed the 3000 m park. For some of us, this is probably the highest altitude you’ve been to. So, it’s a good idea to check your oxygen level and make sure your health is all good.

If you think you’re already having some breathing issues, inform the guide as soon as you can. Start drinking plenty of hot fluids from now on and in case it’s needed, taking that altitude sickness pill wouldn’t be a bad idea either.

  • Max. Altitude:2950m/10km-Distance
  • Time:4 Hours Walk
  • Accommodation:Tea House
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Way to Samagaun

Shall we be honest with you? Your trek has actually finally begun as until now, we have only crossed the paths that every beginner can easily do.

And if you’ve been reading from the top, you might have noticed that the Manaslu Circuit trek is of strenuous difficulty. Only from this sixth day, you feel it as we’ll now start the real ascend that trekkers are here for.

From Lho, the temperature also starts to go down significantly. So, make sure you’re dressed up with all those winter clothes you’ve brought with you.

Also, since we are ascending at higher-altitude, the tree lines start to fade and the oxygen level starts to go down. You’ll still be seeing some juniper bushes and willow trees for the next few days though.

You might think that you’ll feel anxious at that time but no! The snow-capped mountains is going to fill your heart and your love for Nepal and the Manaslu Circuit Trek will grow even more.

The trek is pretty similar to the other days, but more mules and yaks will be seen from now on. So, take your smartphones and cameras out as it’s time to snap some stunning scenes.

Keep walking and don’t give up and you’ll easily reach Ribung stupa. We’re only going to ascend approximately 400 m this day to ensure your body acclimatizes properly.

  • Max. Altitude:3530m/9km-Distance
  • Time:4 Hours Walk
  • Accommodation:Tea House
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Birendra Lake at Samagaun

3500 m is considered to be the height that most start getting altitude sickness. So, this day, we make sure to get proper rest and keep the body warm.

That doesn’t mean you need to stay inside the tea house at all times. Samagaun is a wonderful and stunning village with ancient monasteries all around.

You’ll even get proper time to socialize with other trekkers, both locals and tourists. Many consider Samagaun as the best photogenic village, so make sure you don’t forget to take pictures and videos like we suggested earlier.

Go for a meet and greet with the villagers. We’re pretty sure they’ll love it. Don’t forget to engage yourself with Nepali games and especially engage with children so that their confidence in talking to foreign nationals grows.

From Samagaun, you can pay a visit to Pungyen Monastery and even Manaslu Base Camp (4,800 m). Since we are going to complete the circuit, if you want to pay a visit to these iconic locations, don’t hesitate to take another extra day.

Another spot that you don’t want to miss is Birendra Lake. Even though the lake is small, the view is breathtaking.

This day can be tiring if you go to those locations. So, after returning back to Samagun, don’t forget to take proper care of your health so that your trek in the coming days doesn’t become stressful.

  • Max. Altitude:4400m/10km-Distance
  • Time:5-6 Hours Walk
  • Accommodation:Tea House
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Samdo Village

After properly exploring Samagaun, it’s time to ascend and head towards Samdo. The trekking route can be slightly confusing at this point, so stick with your guide at all times.

By now, your energy should have been boosted and hence, the strenuous climb shouldn’t feel that difficult. Otherwise, continuous walking would have made you even more exhausted.

We’ll be passing by the same Budhi Gandaki River (even cleaner this time), crossing multiple bridges. The more the ascend, the better the views but also the higher the chances of altitude sickness.

Keeping that in mind, we only walk for about 4 hours this day with a total ascend of about 300 meters. That should be easy even for beginners.

We’re not mentioning much about breakfast, lunch, and dinner as they’re almost similar. But the hotels do have other food items that you might want to try.

What Mount Glory recommends is not to go for those because Dal Bhat and other nutritious items that your guide suggests are always the best for the trekkers. You don’t want to fall sick after climbing that high, so maintaining your diet just for these few days shouldn’t be a heavy task for anyone.

Let us remind you that once you reach Samdo, you’re very close to Tibet, China (just 4 km). If you’re thinking of getting to the other side, it won’t be possible as you don’t have the right permits and passes.

However, there’s a high chance that you’ll get to meet with Tibetan/Chinese traders. Be sure to wave them his and byes.

 

  • Max. Altitude:3865m/10km-Distance
  • Time:4 Hours Walk
  • Accommodation:Tea House
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Way to Tibet Boarder

While many trekkers don’t stop here and head to Dharmashala right away, that’s surely not recommended for beginners.

3,800 meters is still very high for most of you and by now, you’ll already be hearing about altitude sickness from other trekkers. It’s going to be a little panic situation at times.

But you don’t need to fear because you’ve already spent an entire day for acclimatization in Samagaun. You’re taking it slow which is the pro method to do the trekking.

So, one more day for acclimatization ensures your proper safety. Thanks to Mount Glory’s approach, your glory in capturing the Mt. Manaslu base camp and the Larkya La Pass is just one day more.

Since you’ve come this far, you wouldn’t want to risk not reaching there. Thus, better explore Samdo just like you explored Samagaun for the day. This time, focus more on rest and make sure to keep track of your oxygen levels at different parts of the day.

Enthusiasts can even go for a short hike to Samdori Hill, where the view of the Manaslu region is even more breathtaking. From there, you’ll be able to clearly see the Simrang Himal, Ngadi, Larkya Peak, Hiunchuli, and other peaks.

However, the trail is a little risky, which even involves crossing multiple streams. It’s better to get to the Tibetan border and explore that region that doesn’t involve any risk. Yet, it’s all up to you!

  • Max. Altitude:5000m/12km-Distance
  • Time:6 Hours Walk
  • Accommodation:Tea House
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Way to Samdo Village

From Samdo, you just have to ascend for 3-hours to reach Dharmashala. The hike is a bit difficult compared to the other days. Nonetheless, that 600-meter altitude gain will feel worth it once you reach the top.

The beautiful Larkya glacier will be visible throughout the trail from Samdo to Dharmashala. While there wasn’t much accommodation available in the past, Dharamshala now offers pretty good tea houses, so you won’t have an issue staying in the night.

However, sleeping at 4460m isn’t a joke either. So, it’s essential that you follow the proper diet prescribed by the guide. Don’t forget to drink hot fluids and keep your water bottle/thermos by your side at all times.

A pro tip to you: garlic and cloves do great in fighting altitude sickness. Make sure you have carried that. We have listed down all the essentials you need in the below headings, so don’t forget to read those out too.

  • Max. Altitude:4460m/4km-Distance
  • Time:3 Hours Walk
  • Accommodation:Tea House
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Larke la Pass 5106m

This is the most awaited day of the entire trip as you’ll be getting to the highest point of the Manaslu Circuit Trek, i.e. Larkya La Pass at 5,106 m.

You’ll start your day early with a stunning view of the mountain range. Since the uphill climb is technically strenuous, make sure you’re taking enough breaks and adopting the proper breathing techniques.

From Dharmashala, it takes about 5 hours to reach Larkya La Pass, which is going to be the major milestone of this trek.

Once you reach Larkya La Pass, you’ll be greeted by Manaslu North, Himlung Himal, Cheo Himal Kang Guru, and Annapurna II. Take as many pictures as you want because you might never visit this place ever again and after all, it’s an achievement you want to show to your friends and family.

However, your hiking for the day isn’t yet over. You need to descend the same day and reach Bhimtang, which is about a 3-hour walk from the top.

Remember downhills can be tricky for a lot of trekkers, especially to the ones who have knee pains. So, be very careful during your descends. Downhills are comparatively faster, so there’s no need to rush.

The Descendants is all about embracing your moments in the Larkya La Pass. Share your experiences on how you felt with your travel buddies. While the talks are ongoing, the time passes by and you’ll reach Bhimtang (3,720 m) where you’ll be staying for the night.

  • Max. Altitude:5106m/18km-Distance
  • Time:8/9 Hours Walk
  • Accommodation:Tea House
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Way to Dharapani

The earlier day you walked the longest during your trip and let us tell you that you’ll be very tired. Some of us might want to spend one more day here just to rest but sleeping at high altitudes can still be risky.

It’s just better that you descend quicker as your permit time limit might be nearing expiration. Also, you might be seeking some luxury stays after spending almost 12 days in the remote area of Nepal (some of you might not have even taken a shower!).

Keeping all these things in mind, we started our descent and reached Dharapani the same day. It’s going to be a 7-8 hour walk, but since you’re not climbing uphill, the hike can be pretty easy than the other days.

From 3,720 m, you’ll be following the stone-paved route to reach Thonje village (1,850 m). Here, we’re going to stop for lunch and continue the downhill hike.

If you remember you had taken the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit, that’s going to be useful here. You’ll have to pass through security, so make sure to keep your documents by your side.

After a few more hours passing through Seti Khola and the villages of Homuk and Gho, you’ll reach Dharapani (1963 m). This way, you’ll complete the Manaslu circuit trek, and the night, you’ll be staying in Dharapani.

  • Max. Altitude:1970m/20km-Distance
  • Time:7/8 Hours Walk
  • Accommodation:Tea House
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Dharapani to Besisahar

While your trek has ended, the trip hasn’t. You’re still in need to make a return to Kathmandu.

However, you’re already very close to Pokhara. So, if you haven’t seen the tourism capital of Nepal, you can rather go there.

The thing is—you don’t get a direct vehicle to Kathmandu/Pokhara. So, the guides will help you catch a shared jeep to Beshishar (760 m) which takes about 4-5 hours. Then, Mount Glory will be taking you back to Kathmandu via the private jeep.

In case, you wish to extend your trip, don’t forget to check out our Pokhara tour package.

From Besishar, it takes about 7-8 hours to reach Kathmandu, which is about 175 km drive. So, get ready for the bumpy roads yet again!

Once you reach Kathmandu, we will have a farewell dinner together. Our team shall be expecting the amazing stories that you managed to gather throughout this Manaslu Circuit trek.

Farewell Dinner after trek

  • Max. Altitude:1300m/215km-Distance
  • Time:10-12 Hours Drive
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and farewell Dinner

Useful Information

Manaslu Circuit Trek Difficulty Explained

Way to Manaslu Base Camp

There are multiple reasons that make Manaslu Circuit Trek technically difficult. Although the difficulty isn’t as strenuous as one might think, its high-altitude region makes it a bit challenging for beginners.

The entire route of the Gorkha-Lamjung-Manang region has rough terrain. And most importantly, the highlight of this trek, the Larkya La Pass at 5,106 m is one of the longest ones here in Nepal.

However, learning about Manaslu Circuit Trek’s difficulties shouldn’t stop you from achieving your trekking goals. The region is extremely beautiful and you’ll even get to see the lifestyle and culture of the remote villages, which is an experience for a lifetime.

Besides, the risk of altitude sickness, choosing the inappropriate season for trekking, unpredictable weather and temperature, long drives on bumpy roads, and other factors can increase the challenge.

Making sure that you keep your mental as well as physical endurance strong is the best way to tackle the trekking’s difficulty. And with Mount Glory’s guidance, we definitely know you can!

Best Time to Trek the Manaslu Circuit

Larke Pass

For most treks in Nepal’s ideal time for trekking is the autumn and spring seasons. The same goes for the Manaslu Circuit Trek too.

During this time, the weather is neither hot nor cold (i.e. balanced). However, you should note that the higher-altitude regions have low temperatures throughout the year.

The spring season also offers you a view of Nepal’s national flower, the Rhododendron. When you’re on the hike from Deng to Namrung (on Day 4), this region becomes heavenly.

Although there shouldn’t be much chance of rain during this season, weather can still remain unpredictable. That’s the main reason many trekkers prefer the autumn season.

While you won’t be blessed with the Rhododendrons, the sky is pretty clear and the view of the mountain ranges is breathtaking.

Now, that doesn’t mean you can’t go for the Manaslu circuit trek during winter. The pre-winter and post-winter times are also pretty good. There’s a good chance to experience snowfall, which is another highlight of this trek.

However, Mount Glory doesn’t recommend trekking during the summer and monsoon seasons. During this time, the risk of landslides increases and the road condition here in Nepal is also pretty bad.

A good idea is to contact Mount Glory before planning this trip as we shall be providing you with detailed information. You’ll get to learn about the present weather scenario and whether or not it’s the best time to fly to Nepal.

Preparing for the Trek: Packing List For Manaslu Circuit Trek

Accommodation and Food During the Trek

Accommodation in Manaslu

Unlike other very rural regions of Nepal, Manaslu Circuit Trek offers proper accommodation throughout the trail. This means that you won’t have to hassle with finding sleeping bags and rather get proper shared rooms.

However, during peak season, the upper regions might be out of the room (which is still a rare scenario). And even if that happens, Mount Glory shall pre-inform you and even help you rent those items.

In case this is your first trek here in Nepal, kindly do not expect to search for luxury. We’re going to travel to remote regions where barely any network can be found. As long as you’re getting healthy food to eat and proper accommodation, we have to consider that as a part of our luxury for the next 13 days.

That doesn’t mean you won’t get proper food at all. Throughout the Manaslu circuit trekking, the teahouses shall offer you all the necessary items you need. And Mount Glory shall ensure you get breakfast, lunch, and dinner every single day of the trek.

As you all might know, the main food item is Dal Bhat, and sometimes, momos can be offered. Coffee and tea are basic essentials which can be found in every teahouse for sure.

However, if you want any luxury food items that you know, you’ll have to purchase them from Kathmandu itself. Do carry your snacks, but make sure those snacks won’t affect your overall health as you’ll be in high-altitude regions where hospitals won’t be found.

Challenges in the Manaslu Circuit Trek

Snow during winter

When reading this article, you might have been pumped up to start your Manaslu Circuit Trek right away. But hold on! There are plenty of challenges to talk about. Let’s list them down:

  • Applying for permits is possible online, but that’s just too time-consuming and difficult.
  • For solar trekkers, Manaslu Circuit Trek isn’t the one. You need to find at least one hiking partner.
  • Hiring trustworthy porters is pretty difficult to find.
  • Even for a group comprising more than 8 trekkers, you need to hire an extra guide.
  • There’s limited availability of Wi-Fi and internet access in the Manaslu region.
  • There’s no 24/7 charging facility too. So, keeping your devices powered is a challenge.
  • Getting to colder regions means you’ll have to either skip a shower or pay extra for hot water.
  • There’s no proper filtration system even in the teahouses. So, you have to bring your own purifying tablets.
  • Getting to the remote region means very few people know English, so communication can be difficult.
  • You won’t find any ATM machines or online cash payment systems in the Manaslu Region. So, Nepali cash is a must!
  • Mobile network coverage is very limited. So, you won’t be able to communicate with your friends/family back home easily.
  • The culture in the Manaslu region is different. So, it’s important (especially for the ladies) to respect that and wear proper clothes.
  • Not just that! You need to take your shoes off when entering the monasteries.

Most of these challenges can be easily overcome if you choose Mount Glory Treks as your travel agency. Why? That’s because we’re going to assist you in every aspect of your trekking, whether it be from the hiking side or cultural norms.

Essential Tips For Manaslu Circuit Trek

Porters are key of Trekking

To ensure your safety and the difficulty also comes down during your Manaslu Circuit Trek, here are the various measures to follow:

  • Hire porters and mules so you don’t have to carry all the heavy stuff yourself.
  • Always carry your documents and permits in your handbag.
  • Drink plenty of hot fluids during and after the trekking.
  • Don’t indulge yourself in alcohol, smoking, or any other stuff that poses a risk during high-altitude treks.
  • Store your cash in different parts of the bag, your pockets, etc. Don’t just rely on purses, as in case you lose that, the entire money gets lost.
  • Only purchase trekking gear of high quality and durability.
  • Make a habit of using the ‘Namaste’ gesture as it helps you communicate well with the locals.
  • Contact your guide immediately in case you feel difficulty breathing or show any other signs of altitude sickness.
  • Make direct contact with Mount Glory in case you feel something’s not right.

Post-Trek Activities

Kathmandu Sightseeing Tour Before or After Manaslu Circuit Trek

Completion of Manaslu Circuit Trek doesn’t mean there’s nothing left to do. You’re in Nepal, the land of the Himalayas and we promise you that every corner of this country has something to offer to our lovely guests.

As we mentioned earlier, you can head to Pokhara once you reach Beshishar and try out various other activities.

Or go naturally, i.e. return to Kathmandu and visit other destinations in or near the district.

Here’s an amazing tip we’d like to share. Check your calendars before booking your Manaslu Circuit Trek. Try to visit here during the main festivals.

For example, if you’re choosing the autumn season for trekking, there are Dashain and Tihar celebrations going on all around the country. Similarly, during the spring season, Holi is celebrated.

Once the trek is over, you can extend your stay in Nepal to celebrate any of these festivals with the locals. Also, you could go on local food hunts. There’s so much to do in Nepal, and Mount Glory promises to be your friend throughout your Nepal trip.

Booking and Payment Process

To confirm your booking for the Manaslu Circuit Trek package, hit the Reserve Now button on the right side of your screen. Then, fill up the provided form. Note that you need to make an advance installment of 20% of the package before the trip.

Don’t hassle with paying the remaining fee soon. You can come to Nepal, visit our office, meet us, be happy, and then proceed with the final payment.

Once we receive the final payment, we will provide you with the necessary information, like the agenda, adapted list, and the arrangement tips.

Tipping Culture

One thing that we love about American and European culture is providing tips for the services that they love. While we are not saying Mount Glory also expects tips from you, there are some other professionals that do.

As Nepal isn’t the richest country in the world, the hard-working people do not have the best pay, which we’re pretty sure you’ve heard of.

Whether it be the guides, porters, or the lodges' staff, their pay in Nepal is quite low and it’s even hard to make a living out of it. While Mount Glory ensures the right payment from our side, there has been a history of our guests who provide tips to these professionals all out of love and respect.

There’s no bar on how much you have to contribute–it all depends on you. What we’ve seen our guests doing is they share at least 10% of their Manaslu Circuit Trek budget to the guides and porters. 

It’s just lovely to see our tourists appreciating our hard-working Nepalese community. Thank you in advance!
