Conquer new heights as you join a certified mountain guide on the Short Manaslu Circuit Trek, a journey that has gained immense popularity, rivaling the renowned treks of Annapurna and Everest. Discover the 8th highest peak in the world and traverse across the majestic mountain ranges that adorn the Himalayas, with extraordinary vistas of Mount Annapurna and Dhaulagiri.
Brace yourself as you make your way towards the crown jewel of this trek, the legendary Larkya La Pass, perched at a staggering altitude of 5160 meters (16,929 feet). Prepare to reveal the extraordinary biodiversity and rich cultural heritage of the Manaslu region as you experience natural wonders such as the Manaslu Conservation Area and the Annapurna Conservation Area, both boasting remarkable biodiversity and conservation efforts.
This trek will span an impressive distance of approximately 177 kilometers (110 miles). Over the course of 10 days, we'll cover a daily range of 15 to 20 kilometers (9–12 miles) on a thrilling mix of ascents and descents that will put your skills to the test.
Being well-prepared will be crucial to tackle the challenges that lie ahead. As you traverse the Budhi Gandaki river during the trek, you will often encounter incredibly steep sections that can be quite daunting. Similarly, the journey towards Larkya La Pass presents its own set of challenges, demanding considerable effort and preparation. Additionally, the trails can become chilly and windy, further adding to the challenge. Given these factors, the Manaslu Circuit Trek is considered demanding and requires a good level of fitness to complete.
