In a few words

Embark on a journey to discover Nepal's quintessential trek : the magnificent Manaslu Circuit! This trip transports you to a wild and sparsely populated region with spectacular Himalayan landscapes and pristine Tibetan culture. You'll trek among mythical peaks, forgotten villages, prayer wheels, and centuries-old monasteries. An unforgettable adventure awaits! Your trek begins in the tropical atmosphere of the Nepalese countryside, surrounded by rice paddies and forests. Then you'll descend into the glacial valleys of the massif to admire Manaslu, Himal Chuli, and West Peak from their heights. After passing through the village of Lihi , you'll be immersed in Buddhist culture , just a stone's throw from Tibet. The acclimatization hikes to Pung Gyen Monastery and Manaslu Base Camp will be a prelude to crossing the Larkya Pass , at an altitude of over 5,000 meters!

The highlights

  • A major 11-day trek for active hikers who love off-the-beaten-path routes.
  • The Pung Gyen monastery and its superb panorama
  • The traditional villages of Barpak and Laprak
