Manaslu Circuit is an enthralling destination after Annapurna, Everest and Langtang. It covers the Manaslu Conservation Area, following the amazing view of the eighth-highest mountain in the world. Starting from Macha Khola, this trek ends at Beshi Sahar.
Along the trail, trekkers will come across Gurung communities who reside there, and their warm hospitality and welcoming nature. Many Buddhist landmarks can be found along the way as Buddhism is highly followed by the locals there. To add on to the adventure and excitement, trekkers can find majestic mountain peaks, frozen lakes, glaciers, and high mountain passes along the way.
Manaslu Circuit’s sheer beauty, challenging terrain, and rich cultural heritage make it an excellent destination for enthusiasts willing to explore the great Himalayas. If trekkers are looking for exciting and equally challenging destinations, then this is the right choice for you.
The Manaslu Circuit is less crowded compared to the Annapurna and Everest regions, offering a more secluded and intimate trekking experience. The route provides a diverse range of scenery, from lush green lowlands to the arid high-altitude landscapes near the pass. The cultural immersion with local communities along the trail is a significant highlight, allowing trekkers to experience the unique lifestyle and traditions of the Himalayan people.
