Manaslu Circuit trek introduction

The Manaslu Circuit trek is an adventurous journey around Mount Manaslu (8,163 m/26,781 ft), the eighth-tallest mountain in the world. The trek combines high-altitude walking through varying altitudes, terrain, and climate zones.

On the Manaslu Circuit trek, you will witness stunning mountain scenery and explore the rich Tibetan Buddhism cultural heritage of the locals. The trek takes you deep into the region, near the Tibet border.

You will go on exciting side hikes to Pun Gyen Gompa, Birendra Lake, Manaslu Base Camp, and Rui La Pass. The trail crosses beautiful waterfalls and many suspension bridges over the Budhi Gandaki River.

Unlike the famous treks in Nepal such as Everest Base Camp and Annapurna Base Camp, the Manaslu Circuit trek is tougher and offers a special sense of isolation.

Similarly, the Manaslu Circuit trek is also considered a less busy and less commercialized alternative to the popular Annapurna Circuit trek. In fact, most trekkers also combine the Manaslu Circuit trek with the Annapurna Circuit.

Manaslu Circuit trek history, distance, and interesting details

The Manaslu Circuit trek was a long-prohibited part of Nepal for foreigners. The trek route was first opened in 1991 for foreigners. Before that, it remained a popular salt trade route between Nepal and Tibet.

An expensive restricted area permit and necessary camping requirements kept trekkers away from this region for a very long time. Although you can do the Manaslu Circuit trek in teahouse style now, still fewer trekkers visit this region compared to Everest and Annapurna.

The Manaslu Circuit trek distance is approximately 165 kilometers. You will walk 6 hours a day on average and cover this distance in 11 days of trekking.

The restricted area begins from Jagat village onwards and continues till Larkya La Pass. Larkya La Pass is the most challenging section of this trek. It is a high mountain pass standing at 5,106 meters above sea level.

Where do you start the Manaslu Circuit trek?

Your Manaslu Circuit trek adventure begins in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. Our team will welcome you in this vibrant city.

Although our 13-day Manaslu Circuit trek itinerary does not include arrival and departure from Kathmandu, you have the option to include them, making the trip 15 days long. Additional charges apply accordingly.

Spend your arrival evening exploring the bustling streets of Thamel, where you can buy trekking gear, clothes, and all essentials. You can also rent gear like sleeping bags, down jackets, trekking poles, etc.

From Kathmandu, you will travel to Machha Khola on a local bus. It will be an adventurous and scenic ride. You will experience the famous bumpy mountain roads. The trek starts from Machha Khola.

New roads have been built till Jagat. So, you have the option to start the Manaslu Circuit trek from Jagat instead of Machha Khola.

From here, you will ascend to Jagat, trekking through small villages and terraced fields. Jagat is a beautiful village with 10-12 teahouses and excellent service.

Jagat onwards, you will enter the restricted area. We will register the permits at the police checkpost and keep them safe, as there are multiple checkpoints throughout the trail.

From Jagat, you will gradually ascend, spending nights in Deng and Namrung villages. On the way, explore cascading waterfalls, stupas, prayer flags, and lovely small settlements.

On the way to Namrung, you will enter the Nubri Valley. It is the upper part of the Manaslu region, home to the indigenous Nubri community. The trail then continues crossing landslide- and rockfall-prone areas to Shyala village and Sama Gaon.

Visit the ancient Pun Gyen Gompa while trekking from Shyala to Sama Gaon. It will be a detour. You will take your first acclimatization break in Sama Gaon and hike to Manaslu Base Camp via Birendra Lake.

Finally, you will ascend to Samdo village, a Tibetan refugee village. Spend the second acclimatization day here and hike to Rui La Pass (the ancient salt trade route). Further, you will spend a night at Larke Phedi (also known as Dharmasala) and cross the Larkya La Pass.

From the pass, descend to Bimtang and continue to Tilije, where the Manaslu Circuit trek ends. In Tilije, you will hop on a mountain jeep and drive to Besisahar. The following day, drive back to Kathmandu in a comfortable tourist bus.

Major attractions of the Manaslu Circuit trek

There are many things to explore and discover on the Manaslu Circuit trek. We have shared the major attractions of this trek below:

Mount Manaslu (8,163 m):

Mount Manaslu is the eighth-highest mountain in the world. It is referred to as the Mountain of the Spirit. Manaslu is a stunning giant mountain that will take your breath away with its massiveness.

You will enjoy a view of this mountain throughout the Manaslu Circuit trek and also reach its base camp, Manaslu Base Camp.

Larkya La Pass (5,106 m):

Larkya La Pass is the highest point on the Manaslu Circuit trek. You will cross this pass to end the trek, and crossing it is very demanding.

The trail descends through steep, unclear paths and crosses glacier moraines to reach the top of the pass. After a challenging hike to the top of the pass, you will enjoy the most excellent mountain views.

Manaslu Conservation Area

The Manaslu Circuit trek route is inside the Manaslu Conservation Area. It is a protected area that covers more than 1,600 square kilometers of the diverse Himalayan ecosystem.

During the trek, you will walk through dense rhododendron forests, pine and fir forests, bamboo groves, alpine meadows, and glacier moraines, exploring a wide range of biodiversity.

Traditional mountain villages

Many villages on the Manaslu Circuit trek are old-style with stone houses, stupas, chortens, terraces, etc. The architecture will be quite fascinating. You will see locals' unique way of living and their culture while exploring these villages.

Pun Gyen Gompa

It is a sacred Tibetan Buddhist monastery at 4,700 meters above sea level. Pun Gyen Gompa is one of the major monasteries for the Nubri community in the Manaslu region.

Birendra Lake

Birendra Lake is a freshwater lake situated at 3,691 meters above sea level. You will come across it while hiking to Manaslu Base Camp. It is one of the hidden, isolated alpine lakes in Nepal that only a few trekkers get to witness.

Rui La Pass (4,998 m)

Most trekkers who do the Manaslu Circuit trek miss hiking to Rui La Pass from Samdo village. It is an ancient salt trade route between Nepal and Tibet.

By hiking to the Rui La Pass, you will get closer to the Tibetan border. The hike will be challenging but quite rewarding.

Tibetan Buddhist culture

In the depths of the Manaslu region, the centuries-old Tibetan Buddhist culture thrives. Locals follow their ancient culture, traditions, and values.

There are stupas, mani walls, prayer wheels, monasteries, and prayer flags all over the trail. The region also has pilgrimage sites such as Serang Gumpa and Mo Gompa in the most isolated parts of the region.

Suspension bridges over Budhi Gandaki River and deep gorges

Throughout the Manaslu Circuit trek, you will cross many suspension bridges over the Budhi Gandaki River and deep gorges. Likewise, you will explore many stunning waterfalls and rivers, which add to the trail excitement.

Diverse landscapes and jaw-dropping mountain vistas

On the Manaslu Circuit trek, you will trek from 870 meters to 5,106 meters in just 10 days. Imagine the diversity in scenery you will witness while trekking on these varying elevations.

Similarly, you will see many other mountains apart from Manaslu on this trek. The trail is surrounded by Ganesh Himal, Himalchuli, Himlung Himal, Cheo Himal, Kang Guru, Annapurna II, Ngadi Chuli, Naike Peak, etc.

Peaceful and less crowded trails

Manaslu Circuit trek preparation and tips

The better you are prepared for the Manaslu Circuit trek 13 days, the better your experience will be. Before starting the trek, do the following things to trek with confidence and make the most out of this incredible journey:

➤ Book your trek at least 8 to 12 weeks before you want to start it: Although we accept last-minute Manaslu Circuit trek bookings, we recommend trekkers book the trek early. It allows you to do some preparation and not start the trek in a rush.

➤ Improve your physical fitness: If you are not an active person, start exercising. Focus on improving your stamina, endurance, and strength. Likewise, build a long walking habit with a 5 kg backpack.

➤ Mental preparation: The physical challenges make the journey mentally challenging, too. Prepare your mind for long hiking days, cold weather, limited services, and remote mountain conditions.

➤ Kathmandu flight tickets: International flights to and from Kathmandu are not included in our Manaslu Circuit trek cost. Trekkers have to bear it themselves. For the best flight ticket rate, book your seat early.

➤ Break into your trekking boots: It is not smart to wear brand new pairs of trekking boots while hiking. It gives you blisters. So, get your trekking boots early and get used to them.

➤ Pack for the trek: If you do not trek regularly, then you might have to arrange a lot of trekking clothes, gear, and other essentials. If you have time, you will not miss anything.

Essential Information

Manaslu Circuit trek difficulty and challenges

The Manaslu Circuit is one of the challenging trekking routes in Nepal. The trail goes through densely forested hills, remote valleys, alpine meadows, and glacier moraines.

Larkya La Pass is the most challenging section. It is a 5,106-meter mountain pass connecting the Manaslu region with the Annapurna region. There are also landslide and rockfall areas on the Manaslu Circuit trek route.

The Manaslu Circuit trek is not technically challenging but demands good physical and mental fitness. Overall, the trek combines long trekking days, high altitude, limited facilities, rugged terrain, and changing climate.

Below, we have outlined the challenges of the Manaslu Circuit trek and ways to overcome them:

Long daily walking hours:

Depending on your pace, you may walk 6 to 7 hours a day on average during the Manaslu Circuit trek. Some days can be as short as 4-5 hours, and on longer distances you can expect to walk 8 to 9 hours.

How to manage long hikes -

Before starting the trek, make sure you have built a long walking habit.
Improve your strength and stamina. It will help you walk long hours without giving up.
Maintain a steady pace and take regular short breaks.

Rugged, steep, and uneven narrow trails:

The Manaslu Circuit terrain is off the beaten path. The trail goes through rocky paths, steep hillsides, landslide-prone areas, river crossings, narrow mountain tracks, unclear paths through glacier moraines, and steep grassy slopes.

How to navigate safely -

Follow the lead of your guide.
Be extra attentive with your footing on steep, narrow sections.
Use trekking poles to maintain your balance.
Avoid taking pictures at the edge of the cliffs or risky locations.
Let the mules and yaks pass first when sharing the trail with them and wait on the cliffside (not the edge).

Unpredictable mountain weather and cold climate:

The weather in the upper Manaslu region can change rapidly. You will never know when a clear morning turns into rain, snowfall, wind, or dense fog.

Similarly, the higher you ascend, the lower the temperature drops. Even though the daytime will be warm and cozy, mornings and nights will be cold.

How to prepare for changing mountain weather and cold climate -

Trek during the best seasons for more stable weather.
Pack clothes and gear for all kinds of weather.
Carry a waterproof jacket, rain cover, gloves, and warm hat even if you are trekking in spring or autumn.
Remain flexible, as guides may adjust the itinerary based on weather conditions.
Wear clothes in multiple layers. You can add or remove the layer as required.
Pack insulated gloves, thermal socks, a fleece hat, and a neck gaiter.
Drink warm fluids regularly and stay dry to retain body heat.

Remote trekking region and limited facilities:

The Manaslu Circuit is a restricted area. It is not as bustling and commercial as the Everest and Annapurna region. There are fewer villages along the trail and limited infrastructure.

There are no luxury lodges on the Manaslu Circuit trek route. You have to adjust to simple teahouses and meals. The trail is offbeat and leads you to remote, isolated corners of the region.

How to deal with isolation and limited facilities -

Pack travelers' games, books, journals, etc. You can enjoy them when you are not hiking.
Talk with locals and get to know them closely.
Pack all essential items such as toilet paper, wet tissues, snacks, moisturizer, solar charger, etc.
Prepare mentally for a basic mountain lifestyle.

High altitude and risk of altitude sickness:

One of the greatest challenges of the Manaslu Circuit trek is high altitude. It not only makes trekking difficult but also increases the risk of altitude sickness.

Above 2,500 meters, oxygen levels begin to drop. If you ascend too quickly from this point, you may experience symptoms of altitude sickness, also known as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS).

The common symptoms include nausea, headache, dizziness, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, loss of appetite, breathlessness, and vomiting.

How to overcome it -

Make sure your itinerary has ample acclimatization days. For instance, our Manaslu Circuit trek itinerary has two acclimatization days, which is best.
Ascend slowly. Do not rush. Maintain a steady pace and enjoy the journey.
Stay well hydrated throughout the day. Drink 2-3 liters of water daily and include soups and ginger-honey teas.
Have carbohydrate-rich meals, especially lunch. It will energize you for a long walk.
Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol. Hiking with a hangover is not ideal.
If you feel any discomfort or are sick, inform your guide immediately.

Crossing Larkya La Pass (5,106 meters):

Crossing Larkya La Pass is the most demanding section of the entire trek. You will begin trekking around 3:00 AM - 4:00 AM to reach the top of the pass while enjoying the stable morning weather.

It will take you 8 to 10 hours to cross the pass. The terrain is steep and rocky. You will navigate unclear, narrow paths and walk through glacial moraines and steep grassy slopes.

Tips to safely cross Larkya La Pass

Carefully follow your guide's lead and instructions.
Walk slowly and keep yourself hydrated. Have protein bars for continuous fuel.
Be cautious while descending.

Mental endurance:

All the physical demands also add to the mental challenges. Whether it be long trekking days, changing weather, cold climate, high altitude, or limited facilities, all these factors demand mental willpower and determination.

How to mentally deal with the challenges -

The more you learn about the details of this trek, the better you will prepare yourself mentally for the challenges and the journey.
Stay positive and flexible to varying altitude and climate.
Trust your guide's advice and follow him throughout the trek.

Accommodation and services on the Manaslu Circuit trek route

The Manaslu Circuit trek route is not developed like the Everest and Annapurna regions. So, the trekking infrastructure and services are simple.

Trekkers stay in traditional mountain teahouses on this trek. The accommodation will be basic but cozy and comfortable. The higher you ascend, the service becomes more basic.

Locals operate the teahouses. So, you will experience mountain hospitality firsthand. In most teahouses, rooms are twin-shared. In a handful of villages, you will get single rooms, but in places like Larke Phedi, sharing rooms becomes mandatory due to limited teahouses.

Till Namrung, you will find better service and even Western-style toilets. After this village, shared rooms and squat toilets become normal. Dining halls are most bustling in teahouses. Here, you can interact with other trekkers, relax, enjoy hearty meals, and share stories.

➤ We highly recommend packing all essential hygiene products for the trek, including hand sanitizer, biodegradable soap, and toilet paper.

➤ Hot showers and charging are limited in teahouses and cost extra money, so carry wet wipes and solar chargers or power banks to have a balance.

➤ Laundry service is very limited and often not available at higher elevations. You can wash and dry small, light clothes by hand. But it is best not to rely on washing and drying clothes during the trek and pack ample pieces to last throughout the trek.

Food and drinking water on the Manaslu Circuit trek

We provide three meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) a day during the trek, and trekkers can buy additional foods and drinks on their own. The food options on the Manaslu Circuit trek route are decent.

Food safety and allergies

Eat freshly cooked meals.
Avoid meat after Namrung or make sure to ask about meat's freshness at higher elevation before having it.
Avoid untreated tap or stream water.
Drink water regularly, even if you don't feel thirsty.
If you have any food allergies, inform your guide in advance.

Manaslu Circuit trek best time

The best time to do the Manaslu Circuit trek is the spring and autumn seasons. Some adventure lovers also do this trek in winter. Summer/monsoon has the highest weather and trail challenges, making it the most unfavorable time for the Manaslu Circuit trek.

Manaslu Circuit trek in spring (March to May)

Spring is one of the most popular seasons for high-altitude treks in Nepal, including the Manaslu Circuit trek. It is the season of rhododendrons in Nepal.

The lower parts of the Manaslu Circuit trail bloom with rhododendrons and many other wildflowers. It makes the scenery extremely beautiful.

Similarly, spring also has stable weather and a moderate climate, which are great for long treks. Mountain vistas and scenery are spectacular in spring.

Higher sections such as Samdo, Larke Phedi, and Larkya La Pass remain cold, but overall the temperature is manageable.

Manaslu Circuit trek in summer/monsoon (June to August)

After spring's fine weather comes summer and monsoon season. The days are bright, and the climate warms up. At lower elevations, temperatures increase up to 30°C. However, the mountain region remains cold in the mornings and nights throughout the year.

Dense clouds in summer can obstruct the mountain views. With the start of the rainy season, the trails become muddy and slippery with leeches, particularly at the lower altitudes.

On the good side, vegetation is thriving in the Manaslu Conservation Area in this season. So, if you are interested in exploring the plants, flowers, and, in general, biodiversity of the Manaslu region, the summer/monsoon period will be the best time for you to trek.

Manaslu Circuit trek in autumn (September to November)

Autumn is the most preferred time of the year for the Manaslu Circuit trek. It is the festival season in Nepal, so the environment is quite vibrant and divine throughout the country.

The weather and climate are also favorable in autumn. The daylight hours are long, and mountain views are crystal clear. Trail conditions are excellent. In short, you will enjoy the Manaslu Circuit trek to the fullest in autumn.

Manaslu Circuit trek in winter (December to February)

Winter is considered an off-season for the Manaslu Circuit trek because of unstable weather and a very cold climate. However, these days many adventurous lovers do the Manaslu Circuit trek in winter.

If the Larkya La Pass is open, we highly recommend experiencing the Manaslu Circuit trek in winter. The region gets covered with snow. The mountain views and scenery are jaw-dropping.

Most days are bright and sunny. So, you will have comfortable walks. However, some days can get gloomy, and you may experience snowfall, too.

Manaslu Circuit trek travel insurance

To do a restricted area trek in Nepal, you must buy travel insurance that covers high-altitude trekking, emergency helicopter evacuation, and medical bills. It is a necessary document to acquire the restricted area permit.

Travel insurance is a safety net that trekkers must have in remote trekking locations in Nepal, such as the Manaslu Circuit. It gives you a reliable backup to lean on in times of crisis.

As there are limited health posts and walking is the only way in and out of the region, helicopter evacuation is the only way we can provide you with immediate assistance if you fall sick, get hurt, or any unforeseen circumstance arises while trekking.

Without travel insurance coverage, helicopter evacuation expenses can get extremely costly.

Communication on the Manaslu Circuit trail

The mobile network is not that reliable on the Manaslu Circuit trek route. You may get a network in some villages, but the network remains highly unstable. Likewise, some sections of the trail have no network at all, especially from Larke Phedi onwards.

So, we recommend that you inform your family about your trek schedule along with our contact details. They can contact us if they need an update on you. Similarly, we stay connected with you through the satellite phone that our guide carries.

ATM and personal expenses

There is no ATM on the Manaslu Circuit trek. So, withdraw money in Kathmandu for personal expenses and tips for the guide and porter.

Similarly, you will need some daily allowance for personal expenses during trekking such as charging, hot shower, WiFi, bar bills, and extra food.

Budget the daily allowance as per your spending habit. USD 10 to USD 15 per day will be more than enough for most trekkers.

Manaslu Circuit trek permits and regulations

For the Manaslu Circuit trek, you will need the following permits:

Restricted Area Permit for Manaslu (Manaslu RAP)
Manaslu Conservation Area Project (MCAP) permit
Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) permit
