Accommodations:

As per our published quotations, we have calculated the cost based on three star categorized hotels/resorts in major cities which can be easily changed as per the preference of the clients. Apart from the cities, entire route of Manaslu Circuit Trail contains comfortable tea houses for overnight stay where we choose best of the best available lodges. Accommodations in all places can be used as per Single, Double, Triple and Twin sharing basis as per requirements.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

We generally provide BB Plan in cities so one can choose varieties of foods in different restaurants in around the town. During our organized trekking of Manaslu Circuit, we will provide all meals (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner) where you can choose varieties of foods; Nepali Continental, Tibetan, Indian, Italian etc from the menu. While we are in trek, you will get dinner and breakfast in a same tea house where you stay overnight and take en-route lunch way to next destination.

Physical Conditions and Experience Required:

Manaslu Circuit Trail contains amazing routes which starts from very low altitude’s scenic paths and gains the altitude until we reach at one of the adventurous Larkay La Pass at 5135 meters. This trek is suitable for adventure motivated trekkers who have ability to walk generally 5/6 hrs per day by carrying light private backpack. The difficulty level of trail determines by level of snows in the trail - sometime the larkay la pass contains massive snow walls and sometime the same pass could be very easier with less snows. In some cases, walk in a high altitude may attract altitude sickness, as we know that prevention is better than cure – slow and steady walk would be the perfect solution. We suggest every trekker who are planning to come Nepal for trekking adventure to do daily around an hour physical workout (jogging, hiking, cycling, gym, etc) prior to a couple of weeks. Mountaineering technical skills are not required for this trek, but previous short trekking experience would be better.

Best Season for Manaslu Circuit Trek:

Trekking in Nepalese mountain is a seasonal activity. Basically, 3 months in autumn – September, October & November and 3 months in spring – March, April & May are the perfect time for trekking. During the time, weather would be clear, sunny and warm in himalayas thus we can have great views of mountains. Nevertheless, some adventure-seeking clients who do not want to walk with crowed environment also can choose December, January and February months for this trip. Monsoon season three months (June, July and August) will be ruined by rains.

We had a great experience with our guide Pradip and his brother Min. The entire trip was very well organized and we had the chance to enjoy the Manaslu Trek at its best. We had transportation with the jeep both at the start and the end of the trip. The views are amazing and totally something to recommend to anyone who loves mountains. We had a good acclimatization and had no problems in the end with the altitude. The Larke pass at the end was incredible and totally worth It. Do this trip if you can!

I recently had an opportunity to trek the Manaslu Circuit with the Nepal Guide Treks team. And it has become one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. The team was professional, friendly and knowledgeable about the entire journey. This made me secure for the worries I had as a first time trekker. The accommodations along the route were cozy and comfortable. And the meal was fresh and delicious. Our trekking guide, Dawa, did everything that could make our journey more enjoyable and remarkable. The Manaslu region was otherworldly. The landscapes that changed from lowland hills and valleys to rugged high altitude terrains were a feast for my eyes. The most adventurous part was crossing the Larkya La Pass. Standing at its breathtaking height was both exciting and rewarding experience. For everyone looking forward to the Manaslu Circuit Trek I recommend you book with Nepal Guide Trek. I am sure that you will not regret it.
Beautiful unforgettable experience

We were taken care of the entire trip, from the airport, through the mountains, and back to the airport to go home. Dorji, our guide and Karma, our porter took care of us and made us feel safe throughout our time in Nepal. The company took care of everything so we could easily enjoy our experience on the treck. Manaslu treck was beautiful every day with so many food options. June was a beautiful time to go with green mountains and lots of wildflowers. I highly recommend Nepal Guides Trecks and Expeditions!

The trip to Manaslu was an enjoyable journey, and felt like my dream came true. I always wanted to go for a trek to the Himalayan region and explore the Himalayan lifestyle. This dream of mine was fulfilled through Nepal Guide Treks with proper execution. It was an epic and daring adventure to the lap of the Himalayas, enrolled with innumerable captivating sights on the way. With all the valid safety tips and an experienced guide, my trip was successful and vibrant. I could never ask for more at the exact moment when I was blessed by the 8th tallest mountain, Mt. Manaslu. Along the journey, the trails were kind of challenging, but my attention wasn’t even diverted as the stunning mountainous landscapes kept me occupied the whole time. Gushing Waterfalls, Soaring Rivers, Breathtaking Glaciers, Rhododendron forests and natural habitat made my days in the Manaslu region mesmerizing. Besides just the majestic views of the mountains, my trek was magnified by the quality of services provided. The trip was memorable, and still, today, I relish those memories of trekking to Mt. Manaslu alongside an experienced guide. With excellent service and safety from Nepal Guide Treks, this journey was victorious. Its about time for me to stop relishing the memories created and instead go for creating another one, which is why I’m deciding for my next trek to Mt. Annapurna through Nepal Guide Treks.
Manaslu Circuit and Larkya Peak

Had the trip of a lifetime doing the Manaslu Circuit and an attempted climb of Larkya Peak with Sonam as my guide. We ultimately cancelled the climb due to the very high avalanche risk (there even ended up being one the day we were supposed to push up to high camp), but the circuit plus camping up at Larkya Pass to wake up to the sunrise views up there was magnificent in and of itself. Sonam was extremely knowledgeable about the area, where to stay in each town, and even had a good relationship with the locals to hook us up with some unique food options at times. Prakash was very easy to coordinate the trip with, and when the late season monsoon trapped us for a few days in Dharapani due to unsafe road conditions, he was extremely quick to coordinate a helicopter evac. We ultimately ended up being able to walk out, but having someone like that able to support you when conditions deteriorated was very reassuring. I will definitely do another trek/climb with this company the next time I come to Nepal. Thank you again for such a great experience!

Great adventure of a lifetime! Perfect organization during and before the tour. All questions were answered by management with quick response, all needed paperwork was provided. Sherpa Guides and Sherpa Porters came all from same area/villages, good background to have a good atmosphere among staff. Also very good care about us during trip. In the end I was only climber to try to climb Larkya Peak (6249m), but I had to return at 5700m because of much snow, cold feet, little bit late and yes, tired too. I recommand to plan two highcamp-nights, so guides have enough time to prepare fixed ropes. And to start early (2am maybe). Summit day quite demanding, especially to get back to Bimthang on the same day. Namaste, Markus

We recently returned from Nepal and Manaslu Circuit Trek with Nepal Guide Treks. The Trip was amazing. Being off season, we experienced quite low tourists around Manaslu trek and also having snowfall lightly. Our guide Dendi and porter Robin was best. We were taken care from the beginning to last day of trek. Guide Dendi made sure we were both safe and sound, from our tea house to our meals and each day, he briefing about our trekking route, culture, peoples as well as location with fantastic views of Manaslu mountain and other mountains that makes our day great. Manaslu circuit is less crowded and not common trekking route as Annapurna trek. If you love to travel in less crowded trekking route then this trek maybe the best for you. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend our organizer Nepal Guide Trek and Prakash (owner). Guide Dendi and Robin was perfect. Best thing is both always smiling. Thank you to all for amazing trip. Best Regards, Geoffrey

I recently completed Manaslu Circuit with my friend. Communicating with Prakash when planning the trip was easy and we were able to tailor the trek to exactly what we wanted. Prakash organized everything super well and all to our satisfaction. Our guide Krishna and Porter Pasang was super helpful with everything. We always discussed the route with him to have the perfect hiking experience and he acted really flexible to fulfil all our wishes. He told us lot of thing about Manaslu and its region, mountain and also local culture. He also help to find to better accommodate and best local food for us. Manaslu circuit was a great trek for us, combination of splendid view of various landscapes, himalayas along with off beaten path atmosphere. Highly recommend using Nepal Guide Treks and also our guide Krishna.
