The 16-day Manaslu Circuit Trek is a relatively new addition to the trekking genre if compared with the most popular Everest and Annapurna regions, offering an opportunity to see a more traditional side of life while experiencing a remote side of the Nepal Himalayas.
This is off-the-beaten-trail trekking in the Manaslu Region, where the world’s eighth-highest peak, Manaslu (8167m), sits like a crown, shining proudly.
Moderately difficult but culturally enriching and scenically uplifting, the 16-day Manaslu Circuit Trekking journey provides spectacular mountain views, secluded Buddhist settlements on the Tibetan border, and cultural and geographic diversity, unlike any other Himalayan journey.
The 16 Days Manaslu Circuit Trek is also a great alternative to the well-traveled Annapurna Circuit, owing to its natural beauty and cultural side.
This tea-house trip uniquely combines environment and culture. The natural splendor in the Manaslu Circuit Route is undeniably appealing to trekkers as you will walk through bamboo woods, see stunning waterfalls, and even visit a glacier lake while traversing picturesque pathways with infinite mountain views.
The Manaslu walk begins in the foothills, among terraced crops and sub-tropical woodlands. The landscape gradually changes to the arid, high-altitude regions for which Tibetan culture is known.
As you travel through the villages on the trekking path, you will notice the cultural compatibility of numerous ethnic groups; the lower parts are inhabited by Indo-Aryan Nepalese, whereas the upper parts have Tibetan origin Nepalese.
