Trip Introduction

Overview of Manaslu Circuit Trek

Feelings of joy result from realizing an interest in immersing in the Manaslu Circuit Trek. The guidance to the Manaslu existence helps to satisfy your deep desire to be in the historical Himalayas.

In local terms, Manaslu means “mindfulness.” Popping up and becoming interested in your mind realizes joyful wholeness, a high state of quality recreation. The notion of Himalayan wisdom (awareness) is flexibly applied to transform interest in you to be in Manaslu’s existence toward joyful wholeness.

Interest in Manaslu’s existence is valued as a transcended interest. To be at home, enjoy the homely environment, travel, and choose luxurious means of facilities (transport, meals, accommodation) is a normal interest that almost all human beings in almost all periods have. Interest in remote Himalayan existence, such as at Manaslu, is understood as a transcended interest.

Such interests may have that mindful intensity that can realize and transform you into joyful wholeness. This interest or will to be in existence, which helps “nothing to be in mind,” often has such intensity. Born in Himalayan existence and guiding in the core, central Himalayan existence since 1990, it has been observed that a rekindled interest in being in the Himalayas frequently awakens and transforms you toward wholeness.

Manaslu Trekking may be an ideal destination if you want to immerse yourself in the Himalayas. Hopefully, the perfect goal is for you to realize harmony, compassion, love, togetherness, and joyfulness, which is wholeness.

We have designed Manaslu trekking so that we may adapt to your preferences and enrich your holiday experience. We welcome you to join the Manaslu Circuit Trek holiday to be in joyful wholeness.

Manaslu Circuit Core Trek

In the world of a concrete jungle, the tranquility of green and open space is highly craved. Just being out in nature may do wonders for our mental health and help us see things from a holistic perspective. Being outside in the fresh air and surrounded by natural beauty sharpens our senses and helps us tune in to our inner experiences.

Walk in the Manaslu existence and appreciate the surroundings, using all of our senses to immerse ourselves in the present. We organized a fixed departure for the Manaslu Circuit Trek in autumn and spring, when the weather is best for trekking.

Manaslu Circuit Yoga Trek

We are usually overburdened with toxins due to our workload or a particularly stressful period. Practicing yoga in Manaslu mindfully can make us feel more alive, fulfilled, and connected to ourselves.

The trip continues with yoga while immersing in the beautiful natural surroundings of Manaslu. Being in Manaslu and relaxing your body in nature takes us back to a state of consciousness. The trip will take place in September, when the weather and environment are perfect for yoga.

Manaslu Circuit Celebration Trek

Celebrations give us a chance to forget about our worries and look at the good things in life. It also gives people a chance to get along better and brings people closer together in a bond of love.

In the Manaslu Circuit Trek Celebration, we take this time to celebrate the holiday together. The trip will start at Buddha Jayanti in June and at Tihar in November.

Slowly, you will gain altitude, so you must give your body time to adjust to this environment. Walk slowly and do not panic if there is a mild headache or uneasy breathing. This typically happens at high altitudes.

Essential Information - Manaslu Circuit Trek

Manaslu Circuit Trek Route Map

Are you wondering about the map of the Manaslu trek? If you click on the infographic image below, you will see the route map for Manalsu Circuit. We have included every overnight stay and elevation reference on our map. Click on the infographic image below to find out about the route.

The Manaslu Circuit Trek distance is 14 days, starting with the scenic drive from Kathmandu to Soti Khola. The total length of the Manaslu Circuit trek is about 110 miles, i.e., 177 kilometers. However, the distance between the start point and the distance between the days of the itinerary differs. Our trek starts ahead to Soti Khola, Jagat, Namrung, Sama Gaun, Dharmasala, and finally to Larkey La Pass. We descend to Bimthang, Dharapani, Besisahar, and then Kathmandu. On the map, you will also see the extension route. Upon your interest, we can also extend the route to Tsum Valley for more exciting views.

Is Manaslu Circuit Trek Difficult?

The Manaslu journey is difficult physically and mentally due to its cliffs, large rocks, and steep routes. Long walking distances are necessary because of the rocky and isolated features of the area. The “Larkya La Pass” presents the toughest adventure on the Manaslu Circuit treks.

As you climb, there will be fewer trees to shelter you from the snow, sun, and wind. Regardless of your experience or the number of times you have made this walk, you still risk getting altitude sickness if you do not take the necessary precautions.

However, the Manaslu Circuit is one of the best alternatives for trekkers looking for excitement. Your physical fitness greatly influences the difficulty of the Manaslu Circuit Trek.

It would be best if you allowed yourself enough time to prepare before beginning the hike because it is a lengthy journey. To conquer the rough terrain of Manaslu, you must have physical stamina. Therefore, if you are a beginner, start with simple yet effective exercises.

Before traveling to Nepal, prepare for a day hike of any length. Just make sure it is on a mixed-use trail. Exercises that increase endurance power without stress also include jogging and cycling. Maintain a tight diet and an intensive exercise program to stay healthy and prevent altitude sickness.

Manaslu Circuit Trek Permit

For the Manaslu Circuit trek, you need to obtain three special permits: the Manaslu Restricted Permit, Manaslu Conservation Area, and the Annapurna Conservation Area (ACAP).

Entry permits are only valid for one entry, are nonrefundable, and cannot be transferred. Along with Manasalu, you also need to purchase an Annapurna Conservation Area Permit. It is because you pass through the Annapurna Conservation Area while trekking Manaslu.

For more info; please visit: https://www.immigration.gov.np/page/trekking-route-and-permit-fee

Note: In most cases, while preparing official paperwork, you will be required to submit passport-size photos and a copy of your passport. So, be sure to bring at least 8–10 passport-size photos. We will complete all legal requirements and acquire all required permits for your trip.

Accommodation on Manaslu Circuit Trek

The neighborhood residents themselves run the modest lodgings along the Manaslu. The tea houses were previously small wooden cottages with a room divided by wooden blocks.

However, some pretty good tea houses are built with more advanced technologies. The accommodations are simple: twin rooms with either separate baths or shared facilities. The beds usually have a mattress pad, blanket, and pillow, and they are cozy.

A central dining area with a heating system is always present and keeps the hotel warm. One can spend time with loved ones, unwind, chat with fellow trekkers, exchange emotions, and have coffee or tea in the evening.

Please be informed that we will provide you with accommodations only during the trek. While staying in Kathmandu, you should pay for your hotel yourself. There are numerous options for hotels available, and we want you to stay wherever you feel comfortable. We are always available if you need any suggestions on hotels.

Food on Manaslu Circuit Trek

The food menu on Manaslu Circuit Trek has a solid traditional Tibetan cultural impact. Thukpa is extremely popular, along with other conventional Nepalese cuisines like dumplings and chow mein. Warm vegetable and non-vegetable soup sets are also quite popular.

Gundruk Dhindo is the most significant among the various traditional Manaslu trek foods in the Himalayas, including dal bhat. The green vegetable Gundruk is fermented and frequently served as a soup. On the other hand, dhindo is a porridge made from barley, corn, millet, or buckwheat. This meal is recognized to be more energizing and long-lasting.

Protein, mineral, and carbohydrate-rich foods and beverages give you energy while walking on high-altitude treks like the Manaslu Circuit Treks. To make the travel experience more enjoyable, we focus on eating healthy foods and avoiding junk.

Please be aware that we will serve you three meals during the trek. The cost doesn’t include meals in Kathmandu. Because of the variety of food options available here, we let you explore breakfast, lunch, and dinner by yourself. We can also manage your food service in Kathmandu upon your special request. For that, please let us know while customizing your trip.

Best season to trek Manaslu Circuit

The ideal seasons for trekking on the Manaslu circuit are spring and fall. For the autumn window, ideally between mid-October and mid-December. The best time of spring is from the middle of March through the first week of June.

The ideal time to trek the Manaslu Circuit is during the above-mentioned seasons. This is the greatest time of year for whole Nepal trips and trekking in Nepal. The most awesome things you encounter during this time are clear, pleasant weather, a lovely atmosphere, and much happiness. Views of the snow-covered peaks above the lush valleys and ranges will be stunning.

Altitude Sickness & Acclimatization of Manaslu Circuit Trek

The trails above 4000m are challenging, regardless of how many times you have hiked this or the same level trail. While trekking, acclimatization is crucial, as is regular hydration. It involves using a variety of strategies to adapt to the changing environment.

There is less oxygen and air pressure in the atmosphere of the high-altitude region above 3000 m. It would help to avoid alcoholic beverages and caffeine while trekking, as they are the primary causes of dehydration. Drink water frequently to hydrate your body.

Altitude sickness is a severe condition; if anyone ignores it, the case can worsen and cause death. Most of the best treks in Nepal are at the highest altitudes. So, before you trek to the Manaslu region, you must know about the altitude sickness in Manaslu Circuit Trek: what it is and how to avoid it.

We request that you start exercising your body before you go high-altitude trekking. Join a gym, go hiking on rough terrain, and keep your diet in check. Following this helps you a lot during the trek.

Wi-Fi is available in Lho, Samagaun, and a few nearby settlements. However, bad weather, such as heavy snowfall and rain, occasionally interferes with services.


Most asked questions

FAQs about Manaslu Circuit Trek

It has been known for decades that living in the Himalayas, like Manaslu or others, enables one to realize a joyful wholeness within oneself. Your realization of fullness within you has long been connected to your presence in the mountains, woods, or any other natural existence.

Himalayan or mountain ranges and hermits in the forest are topics of Zen to Jesus. The Himalayas have the power to bridge unneeded gaps and promote joyful enjoyment. Never undervalue your specific interests; they may be so appealing that they inspire you to achieve your goals and develop into a whole person.

In light of this, we honestly feel that the Manaslu Circuit Trek is more than simply a trip; nevertheless, how you experience it will depend on your degree of curiosity and awareness.

At 5,135 meters above sea level, Larkya La Pass is the journey’s highest point. You can see Annapurna II, Annapurna IV, Kang Guru, Himlung Himal, and Cheo Himal in all their majestic beauty.

You must get entrance authorization if you wish to enter the Manaslu region for any reason. Getting a specific trek permit is necessary to enter a protected area that the government has designated for trekking. You will need Manaslu Restricted Permit Fee, Manaslu Conservation Area Entry Fee, and Annapurna Conservation Area Entry Fee (ACAP).

The permit is for your safety while traveling into the conservation area. This permit fee is also used for the betterment of the national park.

For our fixed departure trip, you cannot change our itinerary. For that, we have a customizable package, so you can extend/reduce or make any changes to the packages we have built. You are free to explore your choices and redesign them upon our guidance.

Additionally, our itinerary is one of the best for all, so there may not be a reduced choice if you are a beginner in high altitudes. Reducing the itinerary may lead to a lack of time to adjust to changes in the environment, humidity, or pH, which may lead to high altitude sickness and other problems. Your body needs time to produce more red blood cells to counteract the lower oxygen saturation in blood at high altitudes.

But if you are willing to spend more time in the Himalayas, we have the best other options to extend the days and customize your itinerary per your demand. Feel free to get in touch with us, and our team shall provide you with your dream package under your priorities and our guidance.

If you are on a package tour, you must travel to Manaslu Circuit Trek with the guide. When traveling with a local agency like us, we will care for your safety. If you trek with a guide, they will provide a better option in choosing food and accommodation and also remove the language barrier. They will always be there to help you with permits, domestic flight arrangements, and local porters and assist you throughout the entire trek.

Additionally, if you experience high altitude sickness, your trekking guide will immediately monitor your symptoms. They will help you at every stage because they are familiar with the surroundings and the wildlife. If you are an independent trekker, it is not necessary to bring a guide along for this trek, but a guide will be helpful for a hassle-free vacation.

Your battery is more likely to drain quickly in a cold environment. So it would be best if you recharge your battery from time to time. You can charge your battery in the lower part of the trail where you spend your night, but as you reach higher, there is a low chance to recharge your battery. You must pay an additional fee if a charging service is available because the lodge uses solar energy to run the electricity.

However, you can bring a spare battery for your camera and other devices, so you won’t need to worry about charging it frequently. There might be a power cut or low voltage, so it will be best to carry the portable power bank.

As traveling through high-altitude regions, assessing your health and fitness is crucial. Every trekker’s experience is made safer and more comfortable, thanks to it.

Due to our conviction that children benefit from nature in various ways, we are pleased to welcome you and your family to the Manaslu Trek. With a professional guide, the trek can be done smoothly. However, we won’t suggest bringing kids who are too young (less than 5 years old) to go hiking at high altitudes.

For at least a month, prepare your kids for this trek by having them practice easy exercises and breathing techniques. Please let us know if you require a kid carry service during the inquiry process.

Before starting your journey to Manaslu Circuit Trek, we want to inform you that we have already paid for several things on behalf of you; permit, taxes, and others. Please also be aware that we must compensate our porters and guides even if you cancel or choose not to finish the trip because of their commitment to serving you.

Specific fees apply if you desire to cancel your reserved trips. Behind that, we welcome you to shift your trip days to Manaslu Circuit Trekking or the package itself. We may charge a specific amount of money if you wish to reschedule/cancel the booking date. Both parties will benefit if you inform us as soon as possible. Please go through our terms and conditions to clarify the refund process.

In case of hikers finish their journey sooner than expected or decide to terminate it early for any reason, kindly be aware that we do not grant refunds for any portion of the trek that is not used. This also totally depends on the circumstances, but we request that you not expect a refund for the above-mentioned reasons.

If the visitor does not reach our target within the period mentioned, the Manaslu Circuit Trek fixed departure package will be shifted to a customized package. The targeted and fulfilled travelers are updated in the date and price sections. We will surely let you know about every change.

Due to the party size, we offer you a very affordable price on a fixed departure. The Manaslu Trekking program will be revised if the group criteria are not met, which will change the price, including terms and conditions.

Note: We do not add or deduct the activities on the program of fixed departure. Please get in touch with us for the unique customized package if you create your itinerary rather than taking part in a fixed departure. Our team will happily assist you in your journey to Manaslu with their experienced advice and recommendations.

We highly suggest you engage in physical activities three months before the trip to prepare yourself physically and mentally. Additionally, we offer the Soldhunga Hike as part of our quick acclimation training trip. You can utilize this hike as a very tiny preview of what to expect on your main journey in the existence of the central Himalayas.

We request that you ask our ground team in Kathmandu for assistance in arranging day tours around the city. If you still have time extra few days or a week after the trek, we can also set up one of the following quick relaxation trips. Feel free to pick the one you think will best suit your interests.

  • Pokhara
  • Lumbini
  • Ghandruk
  • Chitwan Safari

These additional vacation days were planned with the idea that you would want to relax after a challenging and long trek rather than go on hiking again. Please let us know if there are any other destinations you would prefer over these.

Good value for money spent in trip

The airport pick up service was excellent, and on time. They are waiting for us with name card on hand. Hotel in Kathmandu was also very nice, Marshynagdi and Buddha was OK

Our trip guide was great, informative and friendly. The camping spot and tents are very good but some camping spots are poor. Pawan and Nema cleaned up the trail but porters threw trash everywhere, bad example.

I would like to recommend the outdoor service of Eco-friendly as they organized the trip well. Very good value for money spent.

Suggestions: Try and get more internet visibility. Find away for “google” to have your name show up on first or second page of search. Request only one deposit (20%) so that client does not spend so much money on wire transfers. Suggest a modification to the client route if appropriate.

Eco-friendly planned our trip very well!

The airport pick-up service was very good and welcoming. The hotel in Kathmandu at Hotel Marshyangdi is better. Other hotels we were in were not as good.

I booked local bus for the transport to trip starting point and it was very poor. I do not recommend local transport to others as it was crowded and uncomfortable.

Our trekking guide was very informative and helpful. He was always ready to help others and friendly.

You made our trip complete and memorable

Airport pickup was on time. No waiting and very good. The trip guide was also very good and had lots of information about the area. Sometimes he changes the plan in the trail and executes.

The food menu, meals and services during camping were excellent. Our cook prepared good food for us on the trail.
