Manaslu and The Ananpurnas

A remote camping trek through the little-visited foothills of Manaslu to a spectacular high alpine lake with Annapurna massive

This is one of the most challenging and remarkable trek. Mt. Manaslu is 8th highest peak on the planet, locally known as 'the mountain of the spirit', is one of the most spectacular snow-peaks in Nepal, and the Manaslu Circuit, officially opened in for trekking from 1992, offers a combination of rich culture heritage, unsurpassed beauty and biological diversity. It is a cultural trek par excellence, without a doubt one of the best treks in Nepal. Oddly, it's also one of the Nepal Himalayas least known treks, and happily doesn't boast of apple-pie lodges, sprawling trekking villages. A trek around the 'high' Manaslu circuit is a step back in time, a glimpse of pristine Nepali and Tibetan villages, a walk through a remote Himalayan paradise. The diversity of the trek, from the Hindu middle hills to the Tibetan high-country dwellers and the awesome mountain scenery of the Manaslu Himal and surrounding peaks combine to make this circuit with Annapurna Circuit crossing the Thorung-La Pass one of the most interesting, as well as one of the most challenging, treks in Nepal. The 5150m. Larke-La pass is just one of the high points.

We have operating trekking since 13 years choosing many routes in the Manaslu region so don't miss a chance to go with guides who live in and love the Himalaya.  Finally, the Manaslu will disappear behind you as you descend to Bhulbhule and Khudi (792m.). This 3-week's excursion will leave you with a sense of peace and respect for the people of Nepal and its ecological wonders.
