16 Days Manaslu Circuit Trekking

This 16-day Manaslu Trek (also known as the Manaslu Circuit Trek) is a remote trek around Manaslu, eighth highest peak in the world. This is a relatively new trekking route and is gaining popularity among trekkers all over.

While the Annapurna Circuit Trek (Nepal Guide Info ) is now disrupted by on-going construction of motor roads, the Manaslu Circuit Trek is the perfect alternative to Annapurna Circuit. For those who do not want to walk on the dusty roads of the Annapurna Circuit, the Manaslu Circuit is the perfect alternative with a similar route, similar views and similar experiences.

With newly developed small tea houses along the route, Manaslu Trek has become a lot easier for trekkers to acquire accommodation and meals. the Manaslu Circuit Trek explores small Buddhist villages with spectacular scenery of snowy peaks, thundering rivers, high passes, wildlife and different Himalayan flowers including the beautiful rhododendrons.

The Manaslu trek will lead you to the highest land attached to Tibet with some opportunities to experience Tibetan-influenced cultures and faiths.

The Manaslu Circuit Trek is getting more and more popular among trekkers as a new trekking route . Manaslu Trekking is a restricted trekking route, you need to use a government licensed trekking agency with private staffs. You can not do independent trekking in this area. Larke (Larkye) La Pass (5,106 meters) is the most difficult point of the trek but it's not worse, weather conditions allowing to cross and meet Annapurna circuit route.
