  • Accommodations:
  • As per our published quotations, we have calculated the cost based on three star categorized hotels/resorts in major cities which can be easily changed as per the preference of the clients. Apart from the cities, entire route of Manaslu Circuit Trail contains comfortable tea houses for overnight stay where we choose best of the best available lodges. Accommodations in all places can be used as per Single, Double, Triple and Twin sharing basis as per requirements.
  • Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • We generally provide BB Plan in cities so one can choose varieties of foods in different restaurants in around the town. During our organized trekking of Manaslu Circuit, we will provide all meals (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner) where you can choose varieties of foods; Nepali Continental, Tibetan, Indian, Italian etc from the menu. While we are in trek, you will get dinner and breakfast in a same tea house where you stay overnight and take en-route lunch way to next destination.
  • Physical Conditions and Experience Required:
  • Manaslu Circuit Trail contains amazing routes which starts from very low altitude’s scenic paths and gains the altitude until we reach at one of the adventurous Larkay La Pass at 5135 meters. This trek is suitable for adventure motivated trekkers who have ability to walk generally 5/6 hrs per day by carrying light private backpack. The difficulty level of trail determines by level of snows in the trail - sometime the larkay la pass contains massive snow walls and sometime the same pass could be very easier with less snows. In some cases, walk in a high altitude may attract altitude sickness, as we know that prevention is better than cure – slow and steady walk would be the perfect solution. We suggest every trekker who are planning to come Nepal for trekking adventure to do daily around an hour physical workout (jogging, hiking, cycling, gym, etc) prior to a couple of weeks. Mountaineering technical skills are not required for this trek, but previous short trekking experience would be better.
  • Best Season for Manaslu Circuit Trek:
  • Trekking in Nepalese mountain is a seasonal activity. Basically, 3 months in autumn – September, October & November and 3 months in spring – March, April & May are the perfect time for trekking. During the time, weather would be clear, sunny and warm in himalayas thus we can have great views of mountains. Nevertheless, some adventure-seeking clients who do not want to walk with crowed environment also can choose December, January and February months for this trip. Monsoon season three months (June, July and August) will be ruined by rains.

Beautiful unforgettable experience - We were taken care of the entire trip, from the airport, through the mountains, and back to the airport to go home. Dorji, our guide and Karma, our porter took care of us and made us feel safe throughout our time in Nepal. The company took care of everything so we could easily enjoy our experience on the treck. Manaslu treck was beautiful every day with so many food options. June was a beautiful time to go with green mountains and lots of wildflowers. I highly recommend Nepal Guides Trecks and Expeditions!

A journey of a lifetime - The trip to Manaslu was an enjoyable journey, and felt like my dream came true. I always wanted to go for a trek to the Himalayan region and explore the Himalayan lifestyle. This dream of mine was fulfilled through Nepal Guide Treks with proper execution. It was an epic and daring adventure to the lap of the Himalayas, enrolled with innumerable captivating sights on the way. With all the valid safety tips and an experienced guide, my trip was successful and vibrant. I could never ask for more at the exact moment when I was blessed by the 8th tallest mountain, Mt. Manaslu. Along the journey, the trails were kind of challenging, but my attention wasn’t even diverted as the stunning mountainous landscapes kept me occupied the whole time. Gushing Waterfalls, Soaring Rivers, Breathtaking Glaciers, Rhododendron forests and natural habitat made my days in the Manaslu region mesmerizing. Besides just the majestic views of the mountains, my trek was magnified by the quality of services provided. The trip was memorable, and still, today, I relish those memories of trekking to Mt. Manaslu alongside an experienced guide. With excellent service and safety from Nepal Guide Treks, this journey was victorious. Its about time for me to stop relishing the memories created and instead go for creating another one, which is why I’m deciding for my next trek to Mt. Annapurna through Nepal Guide Treks.

Manaslu Circuit and Larkya Peak - Had the trip of a lifetime doing the Manaslu Circuit and an attempted climb of Larkya Peak with Sonam as my guide. We ultimately cancelled the climb due to the very high avalanche risk (there even ended up being one the day we were supposed to push up to high camp), but the circuit plus camping up at Larkya Pass to wake up to the sunrise views up there was magnificent in and of itself. Sonam was extremely knowledgeable about the area, where to stay in each town, and even had a good relationship with the locals to hook us up with some unique food options at times. Prakash was very easy to coordinate the trip with, and when the late season monsoon trapped us for a few days in Dharapani due to unsafe road conditions, he was extremely quick to coordinate a helicopter evac. We ultimately ended up being able to walk out, but having someone like that able to support you when conditions deteriorated was very reassuring. I will definitely do another trek/climb with this company the next time I come to Nepal. Thank you again for such a great experience!

Larkya Peak Expedition and Manaslu Circuit - Great adventure of a lifetime! Perfect organization during and before the tour. All questions were answered by management with quick response, all needed paperwork was provided. Sherpa Guides and Sherpa Porters came all from same area/villages, good background to have a good atmosphere among staff. Also very good care about us during trip. In the end I was only climber to try to climb Larkya Peak (6249m), but I had to return at 5700m because of much snow, cold feet, little bit late and yes, tired too. I recommand to plan two highcamp-nights, so guides have enough time to prepare fixed ropes. And to start early (2am maybe). Summit day quite demanding, especially to get back to Bimthang on the same day. Namaste, Markus

Manaslu Circuit Trek - Feb 2020 -- Wonderful Trekking - We recently returned from Nepal and Manaslu Circuit Trek with Nepal Guide Treks. The Trip was amazing. Being off season, we experienced quite low tourists around Manaslu trek and also having snowfall lightly. Our guide Dendi and porter Robin was best. We were taken care from the beginning to last day of trek. Guide Dendi made sure we were both safe and sound, from our tea house to our meals and each day, he briefing about our trekking route, culture, peoples as well as location with fantastic views of Manaslu mountain and other mountains that makes our day great. Manaslu circuit is less crowded and not common trekking route as Annapurna trek. If you love to travel in less crowded trekking route then this trek maybe the best for you. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend our organizer Nepal Guide Trek and Prakash (owner). Guide Dendi and Robin was perfect. Best thing is both always smiling. Thank you to all for amazing trip. Best Regards, Geoffrey

Perfect splendid views of himalayas, landscapes and culture: Manaslu Circuit - I recently completed Manaslu Circuit with my friend. Communicating with Prakash when planning the trip was easy and we were able to tailor the trek to exactly what we wanted. Prakash organized everything super well and all to our satisfaction. Our guide Krishna and Porter Pasang was super helpful with everything. We always discussed the route with him to have the perfect hiking experience and he acted really flexible to fulfil all our wishes. He told us lot of thing about Manaslu and its region, mountain and also local culture. He also help to find to better accommodate and best local food for us. Manaslu circuit was a great trek for us, combination of splendid view of various landscapes, himalayas along with off beaten path atmosphere. Highly recommend using Nepal Guide Treks and also our guide Krishna.

Great trip, fantastic experience - Manaslu Circuit was a terrific experience - great (and varied) scenery, right amount of challenge and enjoyable first time at altitude crossing Larkya Pass. Tea Houses were basic (as expected), comfortable enough and added to the overall experience - however the food became pretty tedious. Not sure why the "Tourism Board" insists on all tea houses having the exact same menu! Also not sure why the guide and porters were made/insisted on not eating until after we had eaten - we would have been more than happy to all eat together at the same time. Sometimes they were made to wait until quite late (after all trekkers had eaten, even those not in our group) which seemed a bit unreasonable after a hard days walk! Nepal Guide Treks & Expeditions were great to deal with. Prakash (owner) was very responsive to emails before we arrived and very helpful throughout. He showed great flexibility in responding to our request for a change in our itinerary to incorporate a few days at Chitwan National Park. Excellent service overall, however our trekking guide was very good, but not excellent - communication and (at times) knowledge of the area could have been better (e.g. we were looking to do a few side trips/walks on a couple of days, but he couldn't provide us with any real options). However I have no trouble in highly recommending Nepal Guide Treks & Expeditions.

Quite Difficult trek but also Joyful trekking I ever did it!! - Manaslu Circuit Trek is a really great place to trek with beautiful scenery and just demanding enough to make it also a hiking adventure. Me and my friend Klaus trek around the Manaslu circuit over 16 days with an incredible guide, Sonam. Guide and porter are good and experience and well knowledge about Manaslu. We noticed that manaslu circuit have less crowded compare the other trekking trail. During trekking, we stay and eat at smaller villages along trekking area. We reached the Larkya La pass at sunrise, that was stunning. Thanks to Nepal Guide Treks and Sonam, we do exciting journey in Nepal. At last, I recommended bringing lot of water purification tablets (or a water filter) as bottled water becomes very expensive the higher you go.

Indeed tiring and remote, absolutely worth it! - Manaslu circuit is indeed a remote, hard level trek, walking around 15km/8 hours a day on average, taking around 10 days to go up and 3 to go down. It is absolutely worth it since you get amazing scenery every single day, the teahouses we’ve stayed in were much better than expected (we got private rooms and sometimes even bathroom inside), but you just have to go prepared to use a lot of squat toilet. DO TAKE water purifier tablets, they don’t sell it up there, it’s risky to drink waterfall water and the water price rises up to almost 5 dollars a litre. We are vegan and we had food options all along the way (mainly dal bhat and vegetable noodles and for breakfast bread with peanut butter and jam), so this shouldn’t stop you from doing the trek. We got really cold weather for about 3-5 days at the top, it really gets cold after 5pm but they provide very hot blankets so there’s no need to take sleeping bags - this was useful since we didn’t use porters and we were carrying our own stuff (around 10kg), and would definitely do that again. For going without porters, you have to optimise your luggage, so for the cold we took only 1 thermal top and bottom, 1 fleece jacket, 1 synthetic down jacket, gloves, synthetic wool hat and socks - and bear in mind the clothes will be a bit smelly by the end since it’s impossible to wash clothes on the top because they don’t dry. 😄 But during most of the trek, when it’s not cold, we were able to wash some clothes as soon as we arrived in the village and if they didn’t dry in time, we’d just hang them on our backpacks with laces and clips because it was very sunny during the day. Absolutely recommend it during spring!
