What's this trip about?

The Manaslu Circuit Trek is a remote and challenging trip with rough steep tracks and culturally fascinating sights. Linked to Tibet in the upper Buri Gandaki (called Nupri ‘the western mountains’) and the Tsum Valley, this adventurous trek passes through the Larke La Pass (5215 m) while flaunting the spectacular views of Mt. Manaslu (eighth highest mountain in the world) in the backdrop. The trek itself is very diverse with varying landscapes of lush green meadows, sub-tropical forests to up close views of Manaslu mastiffs. Passing through Gurung villages, this trail is one of the challenging and strenuous treks in Nepal as the higher elevated Larke La Pass requires technical skills while descending a slope of right after the pass and long side trip to Tibetan border from Sambo. Anyone intending to do this trek must be in a good shape with some trekking experience in high altitudes. People with a respiratory problem should be cautious and consult their doctor before heading for this trek as the trail elevates above 5000m increasing the chances of getting HAPE or HACE due to the thin air. Experience the magnificence of Mt. Manaslu while trudging along the subtropical chain of mountain foothills to the arid trans-Himalayan pastures borderingSit Sang with Manaslu circuit trek.
