📍Life moves pretty fast but in the Himalayas you learn how to slow down 🏔️🇳🇵👇🏻
The Manaslu Circuit is a trekking route in Nepal that circles Mount Manaslu, the eighth-highest mountain in the world. It’s part of the Himalayan range and it is much less crowded than other popular treks in the country. If you’re looking for quiet trails and untouched beauty, this one’s for you.
⛰️ The Manaslu trek is a great alternative to the Everest Base Camp or Annapurna circuit. While those are beautiful as well, they may be very crowded and a bit less authentic. Manaslu is more remote and peaceful. The landscapes along the way are stunning, deep river valleys, snow-capped peaks, turquoise lakes, monasteries and small villages where people still live in traditional ways. It feels like stepping back in time.
📆 The best time of the year for this trek is end of October to early December or mid March to the end of April. The full trek takes about 2 weeks(it can take more or less time depends on your itinerary) and requires a special permit and a guide. For this trip I went with , a local company based in Kathmandu. The experience was 100% worth it and I highly recommend them. Everything was perfectly planned and the guide was extremely nice and his main goal was to create an unforgettable trip.
🥾 While you don’t need to be a mountaineer, the trek is moderately challenging. The trek reaches its highest point at Larkya La Pass (5,106m), which could cause altitude sickness, so you will need to follow the advice of your guide and bring some medicine with you in case something happens. You will also need a mandatory insurance with helicopter evacuation
