The Manaslu region in north-central Nepal is one of the country's finest and most under-visited trekking destinations. Centred on Manaslu (8,163m) – the world's eighth highest peak – the region encompasses the dramatic Budhi Gandaki gorge, traditional Tibetan Buddhist communities in the Nubri and Tsum valleys, and the Manaslu Circuit's Larkya La Pass (5,106m) – one of Nepal's finest high-pass crossings. Closed to foreign trekkers until 1992, the region retains a degree of wilderness and cultural authenticity that the more popular Everest and Annapurna regions have lost to mass tourism.
A restricted area permit is required for trekking in the Manaslu region and trekking must be conducted with a registered agency guide. The Manaslu Circuit (14–18 days) is the main route; the Tsum Valley Trek (14–18 days) accesses the hidden sacred valley opened to tourism only in 2008. Our Manaslu Circuit Trek packages include all permits, guide, porter and complete logistics.
