The name “Manaslu” means “Spirit Mountain” in the local Tibetan language. Rising to a magnificent 8,164 meters, it dominates the skyline from every direction. It is the 8th highest mountain in the world with its dazzling snowcapped peak rising majestically upwards into the beautiful blue skies.

The Manaslu Trek is also noted for its unique cultural experience. The land north of the mountain is home of Tibetans in Nepal who have lived here for over 1000 years. 

The Manaslu circuit trek is following the beautiful Budhi Gandaki River towards its source. It’s a wild river filled with waterfalls and swirling rapids. We provide an experienced trekking guide, porter and all meals while trekking. Transportation to and from Kathmandu to the starting point is provided. The combination of scenery as well as culture makes the Manaslu Trek one to truly appreciate its uniqueness.
