Overview
Hidden between the Annapurna and Langtang ranges, the Manaslu Circuit is a trekking paradise that combines raw Himalayan beauty with authentic Nepalese culture. Once restricted to only a handful of explorers, this route now offers teahouse comfort and local hospitality without the crowds of Annapurna or Everest.
Follow the winding Budhi Gandaki River through deep gorges and rhododendron forests into the spectacular Nubri Valley, home to Tibetan-influenced Bhotia people. Pass ancient Mani walls, fluttering prayer flags, and high mountain villages before crossing the majestic Larkya La Pass — where views of Himlung Himal, Annapurna II, and the Manaslu massif will leave you speechless.
This is more than a trek — it’s a spiritual journey through “the mountain of the soul.”
