Manaslu Circuit Trekking

Manaslu Trekking is considered one of the most challenging treks in Nepal Himalayas. The Manaslu Circuit Trek rewards the adventurous with an unparalleled alpine experience. The Manaslu Round Trekking offers a perfect combination of rich culture heritage, unsurpassed Himalayan beauty, and a rich mountain biological diversity. The standard Manaslu circuit trekking usually begins from Gorkha and ends at Dharapnai of the Annapurna region. Manaslu Circuit Trekking also offers spectacular scenic beauty and fascinating Tibetan culture. Manasalu circuit trek is a challenging trip requiring good physical fitness and stamina.

Trekking to Manaslu offers a unique opportunity to experience a reasonably "untouched" region of Nepal.
