## About

While the world queues for Everest and Annapurna, the Manaslu Circuit remains one of Nepal's most extraordinary and least crowded trekking experiences. Circling the world's eighth highest mountain — Manaslu at 8,163 meters — this 14-day journey takes you through remote gorges, ancient Buddhist monasteries, terraced highland villages and raw Himalayan wilderness that feels genuinely untouched.
This is not a casual walk. The Manaslu Circuit demands respect, preparation and the right team beside you. Our itinerary is built around that reality — with strategic acclimatization days, experienced local guides who know every turn of this trail personally, and a full altitude sickness response protocol that means you are never managing health decisions alone at high altitude.
The centerpiece of the journey is Larkya La Pass at 5,106 meters — a vast, windswept crossing between two worlds. The approach is long, the air is thin, and the moment you crest the pass and the Himalayan panorama explodes before you is one of the most powerful experiences this trail has to offer. Descending into the Buri Gandaki valley on the other side, the landscape shifts completely and the sense of achievement is absolute.
The Tsum Valley side trip sets this itinerary apart from every standard Manaslu Circuit on the market. Hidden behind a wall of Himalayan peaks, Tsum is a sacred Tibetan Buddhist enclave where ancient monasteries, mani walls and traditional stone villages have remained virtually unchanged for centuries. Very few trekkers ever reach it. Yours will.Because the Manaslu region is a restricted area, all permits are arranged entirely by us — Manaslu Restricted Area Permit, Manaslu Conservation Area Permit, and Annapurna Conservation Area Permit — so you arrive ready to trek with zero administrative stress.
Our groups never exceed 8 to 10 trekkers, teahouse accommodation is carefully selected for cleanliness and warmth, and the entire itinerary can be privately customized for solo travelers, couples or dedicated groups seeking something genuinely different from the standard Nepal trekking circuit.
