Manaslu Circuit Trek
Overview

The Manaslu Circuit Trek is supposed to be the most thrilling section of the trek, as it offers unbelievably picturesque views of nature that we enjoy throughout the trail. The trek is in the midst of the majestic views of Mt. Hiunchuli, Mt. Manaslu, and so many other ridges of snow covered. We descend and ascend, where we observe the utmost surroundings of nature, as if showering nature’s gift on us. The Manalsu Circuit Trek covers the majestic Manaslu Mountain, which is the 8th highest mountain in the world and lies at 8163 m above sea level, but we climb up to approximately 5,500 m in our trek.

The main attraction of the Manaslu Circuit Trek includes the rise and fall trails, which go toward the longest Larkya La Pass in Nepal. The philosophy of Lord Buddha is strictly followed, and we find it interesting while interacting with people. The stunning views of Mt. Manaslu, Mt. Rukut, Mt. Buddha, Mt. Hiunchuli, Mt. Cheo, Mt. Annapurna II, Mt. Kangguru, Peak 29, and many more. The trek is quite difficult for a solo trip because the higher altitude needs more precaution, so more than one and even a group trek is the perfect one.
