Crossing Larke La pass, 5213 m on snow is a test of stamina. The scenery is outstanding with major peaks on all sides: Himal Chuli, Manaslu, Cheo Himal and Himlung Himal. These mountain peaks tower above us as we descend from alpine into tropical areas, bursting with ferns, bamboo, waterfalls and blue-green lakes bordered by white beaches. At last we reach the heavily forested valley of the Marsyangdi River until we meet up with the popular Annapurna Circuit trail. From here on we will meet other trekkers enjoying the fantastic views of the Annapurna range. This three-week trek around the Manaslu Circuit will leave you with a sense of awe and respect for the cultural and ecological wonders of Nepal.

The Amazing Manaslu Circuit Trekking with Annapurnafoothills
zassuzanna,May 31, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00This is my third trip to Nepal with Annapurna Foothills. This time I chose the Manaslu Circuit Trekking package. I went with my friend Winda. For Winda, this was her first experience trekking in Nepal. So it was natural that she was a little anxious, even though she was more excited. We were very lucky and grateful because Ngima gave us a female guide, Apsara. Apsara worked very well, she was very disciplined but understood both of our limitations. So we both really enjoyed this trip. Manaslu Circuit is indeed as beautiful as described by people who have been through this track. The path is clean, the environment is still very natural, except at the beginning because it is under construction. The tea house is also pleasant. The price offered is also reasonable. And Cithra who carried our daily luggage was also very polite and did a good job. In the end, he became our photographer 😂. Thank you Annapurna Foothills, Ngima for giving us a pleasant experience.
Annapurna foothills - an amazing experience.

5.00My partner and I did the Manaslu trek in October 2025. We had Jungmu as our amazing guide and were greeted by both Jangmu and Annapurna base camps owner Nima at our hotel to go over the plan and details before the trip. Both l Jangmu and Nima are incredibly kind and informative and Jangmu was an unbelievably good guide. I couldn’t recommend the company for the team enough. Thanks a million and see you again soon. The trek itself was stunning. We had difficult weather about halfway through the trek but Jangmu managed this amazingly and we still managed to cross Larke pass safely.
Amazing !!!

5.00I can't speak highly enough of Ngima and Jangbu for making such a memorable trip so seamless. From the warm welcome at the airport from Ngima to Jangu going above and beyond when I got sick , it really was an incredible trip. You made two old high school friends incredibly happy and can't wait to come back for another trip

5.00What can I say....this trek is a magnificent experience. A guide and a sherpa who took great care of us. Beautiful encounters, sumptuous and grandiose landscapes that make us feel very small. everything to have an excellent stay. We will return to Nepal with great pleasure and without hesitation with Annapurna Foothills
Manaslu Lake and Rara Lake

5.00Revisited the Manaslu Circuit after 5 years: this time with my son, his first time in Nepal. It was quite an experience for him as there had been landslides following several days of rain the week before. This meant diversions and uncertainty about being able to go over the pass because it was closed for several days due to heavy snow. Our guide, Dawa, was wonderful and kept us informed with the changing circumstances and we successfully crossed the Larke La pass which was covered in snow and ice. It was tricky but we made it due to the experience, expertise and care of our guide. This was my second trek with Annapurna Foothills. After a short break in the lakeside town of Pokhara, I set off with my wife on a trek in the remote western area of Nepal to the revered Rara Lake, again with Annapurna Foothills. This in some respects was a pioneering trek of 8 days - again our guide’s experience proved invaluable in this most unusual, exciting and successful trek. Can’t recommend highly enough the thoroughness in the planning and care this company and staff afforded us. Throughout both treks the management kept in contact with our guide. My wife and I have trekked many times in Nepal over 20 years and our last expeditions with Annapurna Foothills have been the best. We are already planning another trek with them which speaks for itself.
