The Manaslu Circuit Trek is relatively unknown trekking route and is often called the best all-round trek in Nepal. Despite of its increasing in popularity, it still sees little flock of travelers, which makes your visit here more exclusive and unexplored. Along the trail, you will be making a loop of the 8th highest peak in the world. This trek has all the features of wilderness trekking in Nepal that includes both Hindu and Buddhist culture, wildlife, rhododendron forest, wild flower, deep valley, raging rivers and spectacular mountain scenery.
The trek starts balmy at an altitude of 800m, rise to 5,160m at the highest point, Larkya La Pass and drops back down again. This significant change in altitude and climatic zone makes Manaslu circuit trek, one of most diverse trek in the world varying from sub-tropical to alpine forest skirting ice glacier and back again in reverse. The trekking to Manaslu circuit was restricted until 1991 which makes this place one of most preserved region in the world where people still follows ancient culture and tradition.
