Welcome to Nepal! Upon your arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, a representative from Tamang Eco Treks will greet you and transfer you to your hotel. After check-in, you can relax or explore the vibrant streets of Thamel. In the evening, meet your trekking guide for a detailed trip briefing, equipment check, and permit verification. This is also a great opportunity to ask questions and prepare for your Himalayan adventure.

After an early breakfast, begin a scenic drive west of Kathmandu through beautiful hills, terraced farmlands, rivers, and traditional villages. The road follows the Trishuli and Budhi Gandaki Rivers, offering spectacular countryside views. As you travel deeper into the Manaslu region, you’ll experience Nepal’s rural lifestyle before reaching Machha Khola, the starting point of your trek.

Your trekking adventure officially begins today. The trail follows the Budhi Gandaki River, crossing suspension bridges, waterfalls, and beautiful forests. Pass through small Gurung villages and terraced fields while enjoying peaceful mountain scenery. Jagat, a charming stone-paved village, marks the entrance to the Manaslu Conservation Area and offers a glimpse into the region’s rich culture.

Today’s trail winds through lush forests, narrow valleys, and picturesque villages. As you climb higher, you’ll notice a gradual change in both landscape and culture, with Tibetan Buddhist influences becoming more visible. Prayer wheels, mani walls, and colorful prayer flags line the trail before you reach the peaceful village of Deng.

Continue trekking through beautiful pine and rhododendron forests while crossing several suspension bridges over the Budhi Gandaki River. The trail passes traditional villages where local people continue to follow ancient Himalayan traditions. As you gain altitude, you’ll enjoy your first close views of Mount Manaslu and other surrounding peaks.

Today’s walk is one of the most scenic days of the trek. Pass through the beautiful villages of Lho and Shyala, visit ancient monasteries, and enjoy breathtaking views of Mount Manaslu, Himal Chuli, and Peak 29. Arrive at the traditional village of Samagaun, surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery and rich Tibetan Buddhist culture.

Spend the day exploring the beautiful surroundings while allowing your body to adjust to the altitude. You may hike to Manaslu Base Camp or Pungyen Gompa, both offering spectacular views of glaciers, alpine landscapes, and Mount Manaslu. This important acclimatization day greatly improves your chances of a safe and successful crossing of Larke Pass.

Today’s trail passes through the small village of Samdo before continuing toward Dharamsala, also known as Larke Phedi. The landscape becomes more rugged and alpine as you approach the base of Larke Pass. Spend the afternoon resting, hydrating, and preparing for tomorrow’s challenging pass crossing.

Start before sunrise for the most exciting day of the expedition. Gradually climb to the spectacular Larke Pass (5,160 m), where you’ll enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Manaslu, Himlung Himal, Cheo Himal, Kang Guru, and Annapurna II. After celebrating your achievement, descend carefully through glacial valleys to the beautiful alpine settlement of Bimthang.

Descend through alpine meadows, rhododendron forests, and traditional villages while enjoying beautiful views of snow-capped mountains. Cross wooden bridges and flowing rivers before reaching the peaceful Gurung village of Tilije.

After a short morning walk to Dharapani, join the road and drive to Besisahar through beautiful river valleys and hillside villages. Celebrate the successful completion of your trekking adventure with your trekking crew.

Enjoy a scenic drive back to Kathmandu along the Prithvi Highway. After arriving at your hotel, you can relax, shop for souvenirs, or explore Thamel. In the evening, Tamang Eco Treks hosts a farewell dinner to celebrate your successful Manaslu Circuit Trek.

Enjoy a free day in Kathmandu. You can visit UNESCO World Heritage Sites, explore local markets, or simply relax at your hotel. This day also serves as a buffer in case of unexpected road delays during the trek.

Depart Nepal with unforgettable memories of the spectacular Manaslu Circuit, its remote mountain landscapes, rich culture, and warm Himalayan hospitality.
