OVERVIEW TOUR

Overview

Manaslu circuit trekking exhibits the glorious mountain views, fascinating culture and biological diversity. This trek suits best to those who are looking for the challenging but less trodden trekking in Nepal. This is also a part of the Great Himalayan trail. New tea houses are being built on all around Manaslu trek route now; we are accommodating on tea house mode which used to be a fully camping few years back. This Manaslu trekking is also becoming the best alternative of classic Annapurna circuit due to the road construction in the some sections of Annapurna region.

We start our Manaslu Circuit Trek from Arughat after the drive from Kathmandu. Trekking along the Budhi Gandaki river, the trail twists, scrambles and climbs its way along the confines of the valley. Much of the round Manaslu trekking is in the region known as Nupri, an area of strong Tibetan influence with the trade route between the regions. As we trek higher the Hindu culture is being replaces by Buddhist features of Mani walls, Khanyi gates and Chortens as does the topography changes.
