Manaslu Circuit Trek

4,460 metres

This incredible adventure is a 21-day trip to the beautiful, wild and remote Manaslu area. Mount Manaslu is the world’s eighth highest mountain, reaching 8,156 metres above sea level.

It is a restricted trekking area that requires special permits, which were first officially offered in 1991, and is becoming a very popular trekking destination.

This 21-day itinerary to Manaslu begins with a long drive from Kathmandu to Arughat, which is a fascinating town full of mixed cultures and ethnic groups.

Koru Mountains will afford you spectacular mountain views and provide you with a glimpse into a culture that is so unlike our own Western lifestyle.

Our guides can assist you with all your shopping needs. There are also great restaurants and bars in the area.

Accommodation throughout the trek will be in locally-owned lodges, known as tea houses. All of the tea houses we stay in are family-owned and supported by Koru Mountains. The typical tea house includes a large dining area where you can relax, socialise and rest. The bedrooms are very basic with two single beds, mattress and pillow. They are able to be locked if required.

All meals are served in the dining room by your guides. All tea houses have a range of meals available that includes some Western-style meals and local healthy and delicious Nepali cuisine. Dahl bhat is the main dish, which is a lentil and vegetable curry with rice. Meals are mostly cooked on an open-fired wood stove.

Most tea houses have solar power and wi-fi available. You can charge your devices for a small cost.
