Manaslu Circuit Trek (18 Days)

Drive along the banks of the sacred Budhi Gandaki River.

Begin the trek by walking through Gurung Villages along the foothills of the Himalaya.

Along the trail, watch for Langur monkeys and waterfalls cascading into the Budhi Gandaki River.

On this day, we arrive at the intersection that leads to either the Nubri or the Tsum Valley. For this trek, we head upwards towards the Nubri Valley. We arrive in Bihi, a village terraced into the mountainside with tremendous views. ​

Today’s trail follows the river upstream through a dense forest, passing through thick pinewood, bamboo, and rhododendron forests. At the end of the forested trails lies the village of Namrung. At some point after arrival, visit the nearby but hardly seen sacred lake tucked away in the forest.

Enter the breathtaking high Himalayan alpine landscape.

Stay at Sama, the largest village in the Valley and also recognized as the trade capital of the Valley.

Pass by mani walls, visit the sacred Birendra Taal lake, and stay at Samdo, among the highest altitude all season settlements in Nepal.

Begin the ascent to the Larke La. Stay at a simplistic lodge, traditionally used for herders.

A challenging day, but among the most scenic and spectacular. Today, it feel as if you are deep within the high mountains.

Trek to Tilche and take a jeep to Besishar with continuity down valley along the Marsyangdi River.

Drive back to Kathmandu along an exciting, bumpy road.
