- Manaslu Circuit Trek – A Culturally Enriching Adventure
## Trip Description ##
Embark on a breathtaking 14-day journey through the remote and majestic landscapes of the Manaslu region. This off-the-beaten-path trek takes you from the bustling streets of Kathmandu to the serene mountain villages nestled beneath Mt. Manaslu (8,163m), the world’s eighth-highest peak. Experience rich Tibetan-influenced culture, cross dramatic suspension bridges, and conquer the high-altitude Larkya La Pass (5,160m).
It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience - A journey to a hidden, mystical Manaslu region. The unheard, undescribed and undocumented Nubri Language whispers through the air. Centuries-old, picturesque Tibetan villages are captured in their authentic form. The stunning vistas and exhilarating surroundings leave you breathless and questioning the existence of nature.
##Trip Highlights##
- An ancient hidden valley called "Nubri Village", where Ancient Tibetan Buddhism is preserved in its original form as it was practised 400 years ago.
Lord Pungyen is believed to be the protector of this region, and the Pungyen Monastery(Gompa), built to appease the lord, is believed to be centuries old. However, the exact date remains a mystery.
- The highest elevation of the trek, Larkye La Pass, is one of the longest passes; situated at an elevation of 5,106 meters (16,752 feet), it offers mesmerizing panoramic views of the surrounding area, including Snow-capped Mount Manaslu, other notable peaks, glaciers, icefalls, valleys, and particularly a sense of achievement.
- Throughout the trail in the Manaslu region, the Multi-colour Buddhist flag, also known as "Lungta," meaning "Wind Horse," flutters. The vibrant red, blue, white, yellow, and green symbolize each element and are believed to bring harmony, blessing, and goodwill to all, including trekkers.
- Mantras inscribed on Mani walls and Chortens (stupas) are strategically placed along the trail to safeguard and protect travellers, especially trekkers. They are also believed to convey spiritual blessings and positive energy.

Overnight: Hotel in Kathmandu
Day 3: Drive from Kathmandu to Machhakhola
Begin the drive early from Kathmandu toward Machhakhola, the starting point of the Manaslu Circuit Trek. The first part of the journey follows a paved road, then shifts to a rough, off-road track after Arughat. Expect a scenic but bumpy ride through hills, villages, and along the Budhi Gandaki River. Stop for lunch en route (typically in Arughat or Soti Khola). Arrive in Machhakhola by late afternoon, check into a teahouse, and rest for the trek ahead.

Day 4: Drive from MachhaKhola to Jagat
Begin the day with a scenic drive along rugged mountain roads, following the Budhi Gandaki River. The route offers views of terraced fields, waterfalls, and traditional villages. Expect a bumpy ride due to narrow and uneven trails. Arrive in Jagat, a quaint stone-paved village and the official entry point to the Manaslu Conservation Area.
Overnight: Guesthouse in Jagat
Day 5: Trek from Jagat to Dyang
The trek takes around 6 to 7 hours, starting with a gradual ascent through lush forests and traditional Gurung villages. Along the way, cross several suspension bridges and follow narrow trails carved into steep hillsides. Pass through scenic settlements like Salleri, Sirdibas, and Philim before continuing past Ekle Bhatti into more remote terrain. The day ends in the quiet village of Dyang, surrounded by pine forests and rocky cliffs.
