Manaslu Curcuit Trek

Today you can explore Kathmandu on your own. We will collect your passports and photos to prepare your immigration permits. 

Once your permits are collected, we will have a trip briefing get introduced to your guide!

We begin our day with an early drive to Soti Khola. We follow Budi Gandaki River.

It’s a beautiful but thrilling drive through beautiful Nepalese villages.

It's a long bumpy ride until we stop in Soti Khola for the night. Rest up well before we start our trekking adventure in the morning. 

Today we start our trekking adventure! The trail starts with a bridge crossing and then a climb to the top of the hill.

We pass thundering waterfalls, green hills, and through beautiful villages in the region before reaching Machha Khola.

It's a varied and beautiful day that is the perfect start to our adventure. 

We have a steep ascent to start before a decent towards a natural hot spring named Tatopani. 

Then we cross Budi Gandaki river and head up the stone stairs to Dovan. From Dovan we make our way to Duman, and then cross a landslide area. 

Several more ups and downs take us to Thado Bhanjyang and then we continue to Jagat where we stay the night.

We walk next to the cliffs which offer awesome views of Shringi Himal. Then we descend toward Setibas following Buddhist Mani Walls.

Continuing through terraced fields and bamboo forests of the Nupri Valley, we have a few ups and downs before reaching Deng. 

There will also be a few thrilling suspension bridge crossings today! We walk through a few villages as well before we reach Deng (Dyang) for our overnight stay. 

Soon after we leave Deng we have another crossing over Budi Gandaki River and then continue to Rana Village.

We will be following a beautiful waterfall and walking deep inside the beautiful rhododendron forests. Keep your eyes peeled for white Langur monkeys.

From here we ascend to Namrung where we spend the night. The views from this village are incredible! You'll see Himalayan peaks such as Ganesh Himal and Himal Chuli. 

Soon after leaving Namrung we will arrive at Lihi, a village with lots of chhortens, mani walls, and barley fields. We continue towards Samagaon following Sho, Lho and Shyala villages.

Today is a beautiful hike with several viewpoints offers stunning views of various Himalayan peaks such as Manaslu, Himalchuli and Peak 29.

We will also have the opportunity to visit Rimbung Gomba (Lho Monastery) before reaching our destination, Samagaon which is known as the most fascinating village in the region. 

Our trek to Samdo is short and follows the Budi Gandaki river throughout the entire day.

We will hopefully have the opportunity to see grazing herds of Himalayan Blue Sheep.

The trail is wide, it's easy, and only around 3 - 4 hours of walking. Enjoy this blissful walk and beautiful views before our overnight stay in Samdo. 

Before we start our climb the trail is flat and we cross the river again.

We pass along a glacier followed by beautiful Gorge.

Continuing through several Mani walls we reach Larke Phedi for our overnight stay. 

Today is a challenging day. We start early in the morning and start a gentle climb to the ridge. After this we have a very short descend to a small lake and then make a final ascent to Larke Pass.

The last section of the pass is steep. Soon after reaching the summit we stop for photo opportunities before the descent to Bhimtang.

According to weather conditions the trek might take longer than expected so keep this in mind. The trail is long and strenuous but worth the effort!

From today we leave the beautiful Himalayan peaks behind and start descending to Tilje.

We walk through forested areas to Karache (2,800m), known as one of the highest cultivated villages in Nepal.

We also pass through Gho village, and then continue for one more hour to Tilije village for our overnight stay.

Descending from Tilje we reach Marshyang valley and meet up with the popular Annapurna Circuit Trek.

Tal is a popular stop on the Annapurna circuit route and has several lodges available for meals and accommodation.

We have a quick lunch here and start our thrilling drive to Besisahar on a dirt road.

We have a quick breakfast before our departure for Kathmandu.

The drive we take is along beautiful countryside roads and river banks. Showing off Nepal and it's natural beauty. A great way to end off an epic trek.

Once we reach Kathmandu, we can rest, take a shower, and try some local cuisine!

We drive you to the airport approximately 3 hours before your flight time. It’s time to say goodbye until we meet again!
