Manaslu circuit trek begins by sightseeing of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu to trekking in the beautiful Manaslu region. While on the trip we get to marvel at the magnificent views of Mt. Manaslu (8163m), the eight tallest mountain in the world, coupled with a chance to witness the rich local heritage and biological diversity of the region. The highest point in this trek is the ‘Larkya La Pass’ which is widely believed to be one of the most dramatic pass crossing the Himalayas. Like all Himalayan Glacier’s itineraries this trek also ensures adequate time for proper acclimatization. Much of the trek involves walking on mountain trails, and is within the capabilities of people with good cardiovascular fitness. Still, it is important to note that trekking at altitudes above 3000m/10,000ft is more demanding on the body than walking at low elevations.
With its remoteness and secluded solidarity, it is believed to be in stark contrast to trekking in the Annapurna region making ‘Manaslu Circuit Trek’ a first choice for those who prefer to become one with nature.

All Meals on full board basis will be served during trekking whereas only breakfast will be served in Kathmandu. During trekking, three meals a day will be served from the tea house or lodge menus or local homes. Each day's dinner and breakfast are taken in the same place that we stay the night. Lunch will be taken in a tea shop on the way to the destination. Please know that the Manaslu region does not have a well-established tourist infrastructure as in the Annapurna or Everest region (and this is the main attraction of this region). Therefore, a variety of foods will not be available or possible. We mainly eat Tibetan bread, dal bhat, tsampa porridge and other simple local foods. Himalayan Glacier suggests we be ready for a remote experience.
We will be accommodated in Yatri Suites & Spa or Similar in Kathmandu and tea houses during the trek. Note that the Manaslu region is a newly developed trekking destinations therefore the facilities in the teahouses will be very basic.All accomodations are on twin-shared basis. Single supplement is available and will cost an additional amount of USD 290.

Another amazing trek organized by Himalayan Glacier. Amidst covid I wasn’t sure how the trip to Manaslu would be like and was concerned about safety. Well, they were impeccable with their planning, information update, services and gave extra attention to sanitation throughout the trip. I can't thank enough my guide Deu Ghale for such a wonderful trip!
Show moreJust returned from the trek. The trek and whole experience was rejuvenating. This was most awaited trip for us. As things got cancelled after lockdown was imposed in Nepal. Thanks to Rayuna Shrestha our travel consultant, cancellation and rebooking was super easy without any hassle. She made all the arrangement and transferred to lifetime deposit. We are more than happy with our guide and porter on the trek. Highly recommend Himalayan Glacier for any trip in Nepal
Show moreIn the last minute, many of the other booked trekkers for Manaslu cancelled their trip due to spike in covid cases in their home country as informed to us by Samten, our travel planner. She updated me right away. I wasn’t sure they would do the trip. Thankfully, my trip wasn’t canceled or postponed and Himalayan Glacier made this trip happen on the scheduled date. Accommodation in Kathmandu was very nice, HG staff were very friendly and took care of me. In trekking trails, my guide Sabin Ghale was helpful, kind and very knowledgeable about the region. Thank you for making it happen!
