Manaslu Circuit Trek – 15 Days

Overview

Manaslu Circuit is a trekking route around the Manaslu mountain range in the Nepalese Himalayas, it also circumnavigates Barpak, the epicenter of the 2015 earthquake.

 starting point of the long-distance hiking trail is Aarughat (480 m), 20 km east of the district capital Gorkha. The trail leads the Budhigandaki upstream via Lho to Samagaun. On this section, a detour to the remote Tsum Valley is recommended. West of Samagaun you cross the 5125 m high mountain pass Larkya la and descend into the river valley of the Dudh Khola to the west. At Thoche you reach the Marsyangdi. There, the Annapurna circular route branches off into the Manang Valley. The route now leads downstream to Besisahar.

Usually the route is walked in 14-18 days. Since there are now inns or camps available throughout, there are no major logistical challenges, but various permits and an approved mountain guide are mandatory. The main tourist season is in autumn between October and early December and in spring in the months of March and April.
