The Manaslu Circuit trek goes around Manaslu, the eighth-highest mountain in the world (8,156 m/26,758 ft). The trek to remote Manaslu begins with a drive from Kathmandu to Arughat, followed by a journey to Soti Khola, which takes a full day before you reach the trekking area to start your trek. The trek opened in 1992 and has since gained popularity, largely due to its amazing natural beauty and pristine surroundings. The trek takes place near the Nepal-Tibet border; therefore, you can see a blend of Hindu and Buddhist cultures along the trail. You will hike through nice forests filled with rhododendron, pine, cedar, birch, and juniper trees, as well as beautiful meadows.

As you continue along the Manaslu route, you will notice a marked change in the land formation, as you will see distinct river gorges cut by the Budhi Gandaki River. The suspension bridges will sway slightly over the roaring river as you cross from one village to the next, both villages on their respective hill sides. With each turn you take, the sheer beauty of the snow-capped peaks before you, of Manaslu included, will leave you speechless with awe and admiration. Prayer flags will blow with the wind, carrying mantras and blessings to the next valley as you make your way through, and there are old monasteries that leave you seeing and understanding how important this part of the world is in relation to growth, spirituality, and connection. Additionally, it is mandatory to bring microspikes or crampons for the trek. For connectivity, we recommend using an NTC SIM, as it provides better coverage in remote areas.

Starting from Nayapul, the trek goes through multiple Gurung and Magar villages, adding a cultural angle to the trek. You will closely observe the local culture as you experience their hospitality. Besides, since this trek lies inside the Annapurna Conservation Area, you will get to witness a variety of birds and rhododendrons. It is a moderate trek, but it can also become challenging if you are not properly prepared. That said, it is one such trek that seamlessly blends culture, nature, and adventure, a feat that few treks can offer.
