Manaslu Circuit Trek
Overview
336 hours
Mobile ticket
The Manaslu Circuit Trek is a challenging and rewarding trekking route located in the Manaslu Conservation Area of Nepal. It encircles Mount Manaslu, the eighth-highest mountain in the world, offering trekkers a chance to experience the rugged beauty of the Himalayas while also exploring the unique culture and traditions of the region.
The trek usually takes around 10 to 14 days to complete and covers a distance of approximately 177 kilometers (110 miles). The journey begins in the town of Soti Khola, following the course of the Budhi Gandaki River through lush forests, terraced fields, and remote villages.
As trekkers ascend, they encounter diverse landscapes, from subtropical valleys to alpine meadows and barren high-altitude terrain. The trail passes through several challenging mountain passes, with the Larkya La Pass (5,160 meters or 16,930 feet) being the highest and most spectacular point of the trek.

5.00Great experience doing this trek with Everest Trekking Routes. Rabin handled all the details of the plan by connecting via email and WhatsApp. The perfect Sandesh guide, super attentive and taking care of the details as well as reacting to unexpected events. There were three of us and they put us 2 porters, very nice and attentive. Everything perfect, it is worth contacting them and not doing it with an agency in Spain, you make sure you can adapt everything to your needs and make changes at any time, Highly recommended

5.00I just returned along with a couple of friends from the Manaslu trekking we hired with Everest Trekkig Routes. To thank Rabin, Sandesh, Madam and Tsuman for their effort and dedication during these days. We are used to mountain trips in different countries and the hiring of Everest Trekkig Routes agency was quite successful and has given us very good response to our requests before and during the trekking. Without wishing to extend: A full and personalized dedication; acceptance of our modifications of the initial program in terms of stages and acclimatization; the quality of the hotel in Kathmandu; the transfer jeeps; the work of the guide and porters. In short, a very good agency.
Perfect experience for Manaslu Trekking

5.00Everest Trekking Routes was a great choice to hire our trek. Rabin, the main contact of the agency, is always available and open to solve any doubts and adapt the trek according to the needs we had. Sandesh, who was our guide, is fantastic, and reacted great to all our requests and needs. It was a perfect trek, and without any unpleasant surprises. Any inconvenience was resolved on the fly. It is a very preferable option to hire from Spain, since it is all about who really organizes the trek
Great experience!

5.00We had a great experience with Everest Trekking Routes. From our first inquiry to the end of our trip, Rabin was extremely responsive, typically answering our messages within 30 minutes. We received a warm welcome at our arrival in Kathmandu and Rabin and Milan provided a clear briefing of how the trek would unfold. Our guide and porter (Shendesh and Madan) were very professional and supported me in making the right decision after I came down with a serious gut infection while on the trek. The team quickly and seamlessly organized the helicopter rescue and visited me a couple times a day while we were in the hospital. They remained connected with us until the end of our stay in Kathmandu and provided support and recommendations as needed.

5.00Because of Rabin and his team's outstanding service and support, I had an amazing trip. Rabin helped me thoroughly prepare and was very quick to respond to all of my questions right away. Everything was planned, including lodging and transportation, which made the trip easy and stress-free. I told Rabin that I wanted to go to Pokhara before going back to Kathmandu, and he made all the arrangements without any problems on my part. I felt really safe and well-cared for as a lone traveler. Rabin even took the time to show me around Kathmandu during a last-minute delay before the trek started, which I greatly valued. His unwavering concern and assistance made the journey much more pleasurable than I had anticipated. To anyone thinking about going on a trek in Nepal, I heartily recommend his services. In terms of the actual trek, my guide Aita was very strong, competent, and made sure I made it to every location without incident. We finished our trek in 10 days instead of the 12 that were originally planned, so if you want to finish your trek faster, I would highly recommend Aita! He moves pretty quickly by nature, so it's a good idea to let him know early on if you prefer a slower pace to enjoy the scenery. Aita works very hard and makes a concerted effort to get better, even though his English is still developing. Because of his strong connections with tea house owners allowed him to set up free hot showers, Wi-Fi, and clean water for us while we were there, which significantly improved our comfort level during the hike. All in all, I'm thrilled with the experience and appreciative of Rabin's preparation and Aita's trail advice.

5.00Sukra was an amazing guide. He genuinely cares for his clients and treat them like his own family. On top of that, he is extremely experienced and guided us through challenging weather conditions at Manaslu Base Camp as well as Larke Pass. I cannot recommend Sukra enough as a guide for your next trek!

5.00We had an unforgettable trek with Sandesh as our guide. Not only were we lucky with the weather, but we were even luckier to have such a kind, caring, and professional guide. He made sure we were always comfortable, safe, and well taken care of every step of the way. His knowledge of the trail and warm personality made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

5.00I’m from Malaysia and I’ve been using this trekking agency for 2 treks in Nepal. To Mardi Himal and Manaslu Circuit respectively. The agency provided us with an excellent and experienced guide who take good care of us during our hikes in Manaslu. Mr Sundesh, our helpful guide always ensure our safety and he made all the necessary hard works whenever we needed. Keep it up for the good jobs and definitely we will come again for the next hike with this agency.
