Itinerary Overview

The Manaslu Circuit is a wild, less-crowded alternative to the Annapurna and Everest routes, circling the eighth-highest mountain on Earth (Mt. Manaslu – 8,163 m). The trail threads through Gurung and Nubri villages, ancient monasteries, deep gorges of the Budhi Gandaki, and high alpine valleys before crossing the dramatic Larkya La (5,160–5,160+ m) into the Manang region.
