MANASLU CIRCUIT TREK

The Manaslu Circut Trek circles the Manaslu massif. Mt. Manaslu is the eight highest mountain at 8,156m. For many years the Annapurna Circuit trek enjoyed the status of the world’s best trek. But the allure of the Annapurna Circuit trek diminished when a jeep track was built connecting Besi-Sahar to Manang. Furthermore, now with better lodging facilities, trekking around Manaslu has taken over as the best trek in the Himalayas and perhaps the world. Trekking in the Manaslu region is fairly long but the rewards are well worth the commitment.

The Manaslu region is beautiful, remote and culturally fascinating. Brahmin, Chhetris and Gurungs inhabit the sub-tropical lower Buri Gandaki region. And the Nubriba’s inhabit the sub-alpine and alpine parts. The Nubriba’s are direct descendants of Tibetan immigrants who settled here in the early 1,600’s. The crux of the Manaslu Circuit trek is the high pass of Larkya La (16,700ft). This is one of the most dramatic pass-crossing in the Himalaya. Since Manaslu is a restricted area, trekking in the Manaslu region requires both a conservation area permit and a restricted area permit.

ACCOMMODATION AND MEALS

The Manaslu Circuit Trek is a lodge trek. Consequently you will sleep and eat meals in local lodges along the trail. The quality of the lodges in the Manaslu region are not comparable to those on the Everest trek but are getting better every year. Additionally, meals are also quite varied with many options including rice with veggies, noodles, local breads etc. Read our article about food options on treks in Nepal.

BEST SEASON

Like most treks in Nepal, the best seasons for the trekking in the Manaslu region are Spring (March-May) and Autumn (October-November). It is NOT recommended to do this trek in Winter months of December, January and February. But you could come in late monsoon in September.

Read about the effects of the post-monsoon rains on treks in early October.

TREK RATING

The Manaslu Circuit trek is rated “STRENUOUS”. It is rated 4 on a rating scale from 1 (easy) to 5 (challenging). The highest altitude reached is at the Larkya La pass (16,700 ft) and the highest overnight elevation is at Dharamsala (14,700 feet). There are two acclimatization days and a couple short days to allow for proper acclimatization. And average daily hiking times is 5 to 6 hours with one long day of around 8-9 hours. Regardless of the rating, it is important to prepare for any trek in Nepal. Read our advice on training for treks.

This 19 day Manaslu Circuit trek program is our standard itinerary. But, for a party of two, we would be more than happy to organize a faster-paced program and reduce the total days to 17 days.

It is also possible to combine this trek with the Annapurna Circuit trek at Dharapani from where you would ascend to Manang and over the Thorung La pass instead of descending to Jagat. This would add around 6 days to the trip.

Also, do consider combining your Nepal trip with a trip to Bhutan or India.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

When is the best time to do the Manaslu Circuit trek?

There are two preferred seasons for the Manaslu Circuit Trek: Spring (April through May) and Fall (October through November). Since this trek involves crossing a mountain pass, we recommend beginning the trek a little later in the Spring as the snow may still be a factor at the pass. (Note: other Spring treks begin in March). Also, we do not recommend doing this trek in December as storms can dump snow at that time.

The trek begins at low elevations with sub-tropical climates and day time temperatures can reach the 80’s in humid conditions. Once you get a little higher, day time temperatures range in the 50’s and 60’s (10 to 15 Centigrade) while night-time temperatures are in the 30’s and 40’s (0 to 5 Centigrade). Expect night time temperatures of below Freezing past Sama Gaon. And expect some late-afternoon showers in the Spring which is the season for rhododendrons and magnolias. October is historically regarded as the best month to trek with clear skies and better views of the mountains.

How fit do I need to be to do the Manaslu Circuit trek?

The Manaslu Circuit Trek is a challenging trek but anyone who is reasonably fit and can hike 8 miles a day can do this trek with relative ease. Allowing for optimal acclimatization is the key. This is a roller coaster trek with some steep ascents and descents. So the better shape you are in, the more you will enjoy the trek. While this trek does not involve any technical climbing, expect ice on the ascent to and/or descent from the pass. Gaiters and Yaktrax (https://yaktrax.implus.com/products/traction/)
or micro-spikes are a good idea.

It is advised that anyone with a pre-existing condition consult their doctor before signing up for a trek.

We rate the Manaslu Circuit Trek a 5 on a scale of 1 (easy) to 5 (challenging).

Check out our article on training for treks.

Can a beginner do the Manaslu Circuit Trek?

There are two aspects to completing and enjoying a trek: Physical and Mental. The daily mileage covered on a moderately-paced Manaslu Trek isn’t too challenging for anyone in good physical shape as you would only have to walk up to 8 miles per day (slightly longer on the pass day). But on the mental side, it’s a good idea to establish that you like hiking and don’t mind basic conditions, so that you can actually enjoy the experience when you do it.

What kind of food should I expect on the Manaslu Circuit Trek?

Meals on the Manaslu Circuit trek are slightly more basic compared to that on the Everest Base Camp Trek. In general, expect porridge (Oatmeal), toast, eggs (any style), muesli, hash browns etc for breakfast. And sandwich, pizzas, momos, noodles (dry and with soup), rolls, fried rice, Indian bread with vegetables etc for lunch and dinner. Nepali dal-bhat (rice-lentils with vegetables and/or meat) is a staple at all the lodges.

Ours is an OPEN menu. Meaning we allow our clients to order anything from the lodge menu besides bottled beverages, specialty coffee and packaged snacks. We also don’t limit the number of items per meal as long as you aren’t wasteful. When choosing your trekking company, ask if meals are fixed or if you are only allowed to order one item from the menu. If this isn’t the case, costs can add up over 15/16 days.

Check out our article on food options for vegetarians.

What gear do I need for the trek? Can I purchase/rent some in Kathmandu?

Layering is key. And it’s always recommended to trek with good branded gear. A good pair of hiking boots that’s been broken in is very important. Good top and bottom base layers, a mid layer (fleece or capilene), and an outer layer (Gore-tex or other material). If you tend to get cold quickly, bring a down parka especially for the evening at the lodge. On most days, you’d be hiking in a convertible hiking pant that can be converted into shorts and one or two top layers.

if you’re trekking with Crystal Mountain Treks, we provide a sleeping bag (rated to 0 degree F or -17 degree C), duffel bags, down jacket and Steripen for water purification to our clients for no charge.

It is possible to buy cheap and relatively functional gear in Kathmandu – convertible pants, down jackets, fleece, Gore-tex jackets. But remember, you get what you pay for. Wool gloves, hats, socks are available too.

There are quite a few branded stores too. North Face, Moutain Hardwear, Marmot and Sherpa. If you’re coming from Australia or Europe, items in these shops are probably cheaper than back home. But if you’re coming from the US, it’s better to buy branded gear at home.

Can I drink tap water on the trek? How/Where can I get safe drinking water?

Nepali tap water is NOT safe to drink. Even if you see the locals drinking water straight from the tap, never drink water before boiling or sterilizing. Bring water purifying tablets or other water purifiers. At higher elevations during the coldest times of year the water will freeze, so you’ll need to buy boiled water from teahouses. If you plan to use a STERIPEN, bring wide mouth water bottles. You would need at least 2 one-liter water bottles for the trek. Even if you plan to bring a hydration pack, bring 1 one-liter water to sterilize the water before pouring into your hydration pack.

Crystal Mountain Treks will provide you with a Steripen to use on the trek for no charge.

Do read our blog on safe drinking water options: Hydration on treks in Nepal

How should I prepare for the trek?

The more physically fit you are, the more you will enjoy the trip. There are three aspects to training for any trek.

1) Cardiovascular Training will make your body more efficient in using oxygen. Running, walking, swimming or biking, or any combination of these are great for cardiovascular conditioning.

2) Strength Training by either using free weights or machines at the gym will build hiking strength. Walking stairs, especially with a pack will simulate the hiking environment. We also recommend practicing squats. Trekkers will encounter low hanging obstacles to duck under, and many toilets are at ground level, which requires a low squat.

3) Endurance Training is where you build endurance in the months leading up to your trek, slowly increase your length of training sessions. By the time you are 2 weeks from the scheduled trek date you should be able to ascend 3,000 ft. in a 3-4 hour period.

In the end, the more your training simulates a trek, the better off you will be. So hiking 4-5 hours outdoors, uphill and downhill, about once or twice a week in addition to other cardio vascular training at the gym or at home will greatly benefit and prepare you for the trek.

What are the toilet facilities like on the trek? Will I have a chance to take a shower?

Most tea houses have a common toilet. Some tea houses, especially those at the beginning of the trek, have en suite rooms. While squat toilets are more prevalent, newer lodges have Western style toilets.

It is possible to shower in almost all the lodges. And hot shower usually means a bucket of boiled water. Be prepared to pay anywhere from $2-$5 for this service.

Which vaccinations are required for trekking in Nepal?

No vaccinations are REQUIRED. There are some that are recommended. Check out websites of the following for immunization that are recommended:

1) CIWEC hospital in Nepal

2) CDC (Center for Disease Control)

Crystal Mountain Treks provided comprehensive pre-trip information. Staff was incredibly well cared for with appropriate gear. We experienced the 7.8 magnitude earthquake after crossing Larke La Pass on the Manaslu Circuit Trek. Many other trekkers were left to figure out logistics on their own, whereas Crystal Mountain staff remained with us. There was little available information following the earthquake, but staff was able to communicate with other Nepalis to figure out our safest plan. We are forever grateful to Crystal Mountain for an incredible adventure and for surviving an intense experience together. Rajbeir, Sune, Khadga, and Padum were constantly professional through our entire trek.

The staff and porters were all skillful, knowledgeable, cheerful and
friendly. They went to great lengths to make sure we were safe, comfortable
and well fed with varied and delicious meals. For a first-time, 60 year old
neophyte trekker like me, their professionalism, equipment , attention to
detail, and enthusiastic desire to serve our needs quickly put any
insecurities I had to rest. I know, without a doubt, which company I will
go with, when I can succumb to the inevitable desire to return.

Hi Jwalant,

Just want to reiterate how much I enjoyed the spring trek on the Manaslu circuit with the Ganesh and Tsum valley extentions. After several Autumn treks in Nepal, my first spring trek more than met my expectations. The diverse scenery, flora and fauna were all glorious, especially the rhododenron in bloom. The cultural diversity encountered on this trek was also fascinating.

The entire crew provided by CMT was first-rate in all respects They were always eager to please, and in several instances provided service above and beyond the call of duty; ever watchful of our welfare and safety.
I must also say that our Head Cook (Manju Rai) proved exemplary in the culinary department, providing hearty and tasty meals.

From wake-up tea in my tent in the morning to goodnight tea in the dining tent each evening it was always “service with a smile”.

CMT is a well-run, well-organized company that charges reasonable fees for it’s services. I would recommend them to anyone interested in Asian treks and tours.
