Overview of Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trek

Mt. Manaslu is a beautiful mountain in the world, with an altitude of 8,163 meters. Manaslu carries the title of the eighth-highest peak in the world. The Manaslu circuit trek offers a rare combination of untouched Himalayan wilderness, rich Tibetan Buddhist culture, and refined comforts. Unlike the classical trek in the remote region, the luxury Manaslu circuit trek adds amazing comforts, private vehicles, premium food, lodging, and majestic services. However, the Manaslu circuit in Nepal starts from Kathmandu to Machha Khola, around 160 kilometers away. You will start your trek from Machha Khola along the beautiful Budhi Gandaki River. Exploring the pristine traditional villages, lush pine forests, and unique landscapes makes your trip adventurous and enjoyable. You will take a beautiful glimpse for your travel memories; interacting with innocent locals and exploring their way of life makes you thoughtful.

Trekkers will be ascending up to the Himalayas, crossing beautiful villages, Jagat, Deng, and Namrung. Each step you take feels like you are time-traveling. The stone-paved path, fluttering prayer flags, mani walls, and gorgeous Himalayan views give you spiritual peace and calm. From Lho village, you will view Mt. Manaslu and have beautiful views of sunrise over the Himalayas. From Samagaun, you can go to Manaslu Base Camp (4,800 m.), which is amazingly beautiful. However, you have another beautiful Pungyen Gompa, you can choose either one, Manaslu Base Camp or Pungyen. Acclimatization is crucial to climb the higher altitudes trek; ascending to the Manaslu base camp and crossing Larke La Pass would require acclimatization. Trekkers will be passing the beautiful Larke La pass (5,106 m), which is one of the highlights of the trek. Have endless views of Himlung, Cheo, and Annapurna II, which is a challenging pass in the Manaslu Circuit Trek.

The Larke La Pass is utterly amazing and beautifully rewarding. You will descend to Bimthang, which is at an altitude of approximately 3,590 meters above sea level. Finally, you have done the challenging Larke Pass and stayed relaxed in Bimthang. Trekkers will further descend to Dharapani and Besisahar.

Hence, the most demanding and beautiful Manaslu Circuit luxury trek will finish in Kathmandu with a celebration and farewell dinner.

Manaslu circuit Trek vs Annapurna circuit Trek

The luxury Manaslu circuit trek is best for your vacation in Nepal; you will pamper yourself by opting for the luxury Himalayas package. However, you can have an Annapurna Circuit luxury trek as well. The comparison between the Manaslu Circuit luxury trek and the Annapurna Circuit luxury trek both of them are Nepal’s most iconic, spectacular Himalayan journeys. These treks will offer spectacular mountain views, unique cultural experiences, and exploration of the varieties of flora and fauna. However, the Manaslu Circuit luxury trek offers much natural beauty, less crowdedness, and an untouched Himalayas adventure. Hence, the Manaslu circuit trek offers a 12- to 16-day itinerary, whereas the Annapurna circuit trek offers a 10- to 18-day itinerary. For those who are nature enthusiasts, the Manaslu circuit trek offers a less crowded trail and a high-altitude adventure. Whereas the Annapurna Circuit Trek offers an overcrowded and moderately adventurous trail.

However, the Manaslu circuit has the 5,106-meter Larke La pass, but the Annapurna circuit trek has the 5,416-meter Thorang La pass. The Manaslu circuit trek has restricted area guides, and restricted permits are mandatory, but the Annapurna circuit trek has regular permits, ACAP, and TIMS. The Manaslu circuit trek cost would be high compared to the Annapurna circuit trek. Due to the off-the-beaten and restricted area, Manaslu is much more adventurous than the Annapurna Circuit trek. Hence, the Nepal Manaslu circuit trek is the best trekking trail for your Himalayas vacation. However, the Annapurna Circuit trek is also one of the world popular trekking trails in Nepal.

Moreover, the autumn season has lots of local festivals and celebrations, so you can experience the unique culture and traditions. Hence, the winter season will be much colder, and, in the mountains, it will be extremely cold, which will make the Manaslu circuit trek difficult. Trekkers will have to prepare thick jackets and other equipment for winter season trekking in the Manaslu Circuit. The summer or monsoon season will fall from June to August; during this time, there will be heavy rainfall. Thus, there will be flooding, a chance of landslides, and slippery trekking paths, which will make the trek difficult. So, spring and autumn are the Manaslu circuit trek best season in Nepal.
