Manaslu Circuit is a laborious trek that demands experience along with good physical well being. The Manaslu trek ascends through Budi Gandaki River offering numerous rivers and waterfalls to Larkya La Pass (5213 m), the highest point in the Manaslu trek, providing striking views of Himalchuli, Manaslu (8156 m), Ganesh Himal and other various mountains. En route, diverse landscape and variety in flora and fauna amazes anyone. The laborious part of trekking along Manaslu circuit starts from Samagoan (3450 m) where you could get lucky to see the freezing green lake of Birendra. However, the biggest challenge awaits - crossing the snow-clad Larkye La pass (5213m), which is 8 km from the Tibet border, and offers classic views of Himlung Himal (7,126 m), Cheo Himal, Gyaji Kang, Kang guru (6,981m) and Annapurna II (7,937m). From Larkya La (Larkya Pass), we take a steep descent along a snow-covered trail down to Tanbuche. Then we follow a narrow trail to the Dudh Khola (White River) banks passing through magnificent forests of rhododendron, Pine, and Juniper. A further descent transforms the alpine vegetation to subtropical greenness.
Manaslu Circuit Trek
Manaslu Circuit Trek, an epic walk centered around Mt. Manaslu, a beautiful and 8th highest mountain in the world looming at 8,163m. Manaslu Circuit Trek is a good alternative to the Annapurna Circuit Trek as most part of Annapurna Circuit Trek now has been destroyed due to newly constructed road. Trekking in Manaslu region was allowed for foreigners only from 1991. So, Manaslu circuit trail although being a very beautiful region still sees few trekkers annually which is a good reason to trek there for adventure and nature lovers.
