The Manaslu Circuit is a remote Himalayan journey that feels like stepping back in time. Winding through the wild Gorkha region along the Nepal–Tibet border, this less‑traveled trail leads you into quiet villages, ancient trading routes, and sweeping valleys framed by Mount Manaslu and its surrounding peaks. Over 15 days, you climb toward the high point of the trek at Larkya La Pass, reaching roughly 5,215 meters. From this vantage, the eighth‑highest mountain in the world, Manaslu, rises close at hand, surrounded by Kanguru, Himlung, Cheo, Lamjung, Annapurna II, Shringi Himal, Naike Peak, Ganesh Himal, Ngadi Chuli, and more—a skyline of ice and stone that feels like a scene from a dream. With limited foot traffic, the Manaslu Circuit offers an unspoiled, tranquil experience where every step challenges you physically while shifting something deeper within. You move through landscapes and communities shaped over thousands of years, walking in the footsteps of traders and mountain people, and return with a sense that the Himalaya has quietly, permanently changed you.
