Manaslu circuit trek is the ultimate adventure in Nepal. The name Manaslu translates to “mountain of the spirit.” It is divided from the Sanskrit word Manasa, meaning “intellect” or “soul.”
Manaslu circuit trek is one of the best trails that follows an ancient salt–trading route to Tibet. The trail goes alongside a steep-sided Budi Gandaki river. The trek to the Manaslu circuit is suitable for those who love nature and adventure. The circuit trek around Mount Manaslu, the 8th highest peak in the world, is an adventure of a lifetime.
Unlike the Annapurna circuit and Everest base camp trek, the Manaslu trek is less commercialized and crowded and offers off-the-beaten-path and remoteness. It indeed is a dream trek that loves nature and solitude.
However, being in a restricted area, trekkers cannot travel alone. It would be best if you hiked with a guide, and there must be at least two in your group, including the guide. In addition, Trekkers need to get a trekking permit for the adventurous trail.
Traveling through picturesque Rhododendron and pine forests is another beautiful experience in this mountain paradise. The landscape changes from dense forest to rolling hills and finally to the snowy trails.
Walking through the ridges, Gurung village and at times enjoying the stone paved trails is another highlight of your trip to this beautiful place. Sights of Manaslu, Lamjung Himal, Himlung Himal, and Cheo Himal from the ridges don’t let your hands rest to capture memories for a lifetime through lenses.
Start and End of Manaslu circuit trek
The hiking for Manaslu Trek starts from Soti Khola towards Maccha Khola and continues for the next 12 days.
Manaslu trek is one of the most graceful of the 8,000-meter mountains. However, only a fraction of trekkers opts for the majestic Manaslu trek compared to the famous Everest base camp trek or Annapurna circuit trek.
Manaslu trek is a beautiful, scenic trek that takes you deep into the heart of the Sherpa culture. It’s a physically challenging, culturally enriching, and spiritually uplifting trek. However, the remoteness, the challenging terrain on the circuit, and the lack of roads to many villages make the trip more appealing.
During the 16-day teahouse trek route, trekkers traverse through Gurung villages and fantastic mountain views of the Annapurna, Ganesh Himal, and others.
The Manaslu trekking ends at Tal. From Tal to Kathmandu, we travel by road, passing through Beshi Sahar, the starting point of the Annapurna Circuit trek.
What to expect during the Manaslu circuit trek
A mesmerizing trek for two weeks takes some preparation as well. There are several ups and downs along the way as it is an altitude trail hiking too. So it’s essential to prepare yourself mentally and physically before embarking on this beautiful journey of the two-week Manaslu Trek.
Trekking in high-altitude regions like the Manaslu region requires proper acclimatization. It means adjusting to the thin air and low oxygen levels. If you do not take enough time to adjust, you may suffer from headaches, nausea, loss of appetite, dizziness, fatigue, and even mild shortness of breath.
Not only is the Manaslu trek adventurous. It also is an opportunity to understand the daily life of the locals. Trekkers can learn about the Gurung villages and their way of life while enjoying the fantastic views of Himal Chuli, Mt Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, and Pangboche.
During the trek, accommodation is in tea houses. They provide basic amenities such as electricity, hot water, beds, blankets, pillows, etc. For additional costs, tea houses can also provide hot showers.
Tea house owners during the Manaslu trek also serve meals that include local dishes. As per the season, food items available will vary. Mostly the vegetables are from the kitchen garden or local produce. Mainly tea houses provide a menu for trekkers to choose the food items they like.
