Manaslu Circuit Trek is one of the best trekking routes in Nepal, taking you to one of the most remote, untouched, and tranquil wilderness adventures of Nepal. Opened to international tourists only in 1992, the trek to the natural border between Nepal and Tibetan plateau is a truly new and unique experience.

The trek attracts adventure junkies from all over the world for a chance to witness or even summit the eighth highest mountain in the world. Manaslu peak looming at a height of 8,163 meters is a truly majestic sight that leaves all its audience speechless. The destination of the trek is to the lap of the mountain, Manaslu base camp, at 4800 meters.

The trek starts from Arughat and ends at Besi Sahar, covering a varied terrain from lowlands to glaciers and moraines, passing through traditional villages with unique cultures. The trek requires a special entry permit to enjoy the biodiversity, majestic mountains, huge waterfalls and tranquil lakes in the beautiful trails adorned with bloomers during the spring season.

The summit was first conquered in 1956 by the Japanese who had tried numerous times to ascend the mountain. Manaslu is also called ‘Kutang’ and derives its meaning ‘mountain of the spirits’ from the Sanskrit word ‘Manasa’. The circuit trek with its challenges, beautiful scenery, and tranquility is an adventure that truly enriches your soul.
