The Manaslu Circuit Trek offers trekkers massive Himalayas panoramic view. It is relatively less crowded than Annapurna and Everest Trekking.
In 1991 AD, Manaslu Region is opened for trekking. It is the 8th tallest mountain of the World. The upper part of Manaslu is located at the border of Tibet.
Manaslu Circuit is getting popular day by day. We can see stunning views of Mt Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, Annapurna II, Shringi Himal, and many more mountains.
Funny things:
There are lots of mountains which are still unnamed till today. When you exit from Manaslu Circuit Area, you can do also Annapurna Circuit trek.
Look: Here is some higlights.
The Manaslu and Tsum Valley Trek is combined trek of 2 restricted areas trekking. In 21 days, we can do Manaslu Circuit with Tsum Valley trek. This trek gives opportunity to see Mt Manaslu ranges as well as the hidden town Tsum Valley.

The distance of Kathmandu to Sotikhola is around 142km(80 miles). To Pass this distance you can choose private Jeep or Local Bus.If you wish to go by Jeep, then it will be more comfortable and fast reach to our destionation. It takes around 6 hours by Jeep to reach Sotikhola, if there is no traffic jam or road construction. You can stop jeep as you want on the way.
But Public Bus takes around 8 hours and it will go only Aarughat. They stop on some place for Food and toilet. On the bus their will more local people than tourist. Bus driver used to play Music on loud voice. You need to sacrifice all bariares which will be arise during driving.

Since Manaslu is the restricted trekking region of Nepal, you need to buy special permits for trekking. At least 2 person must have to get Manaslu Permit. It means solo trekkers can’t get the permit by indivisually. But they can do join a trekking with others trekkers so that he/she can get permit.
Here is 12 days itinerary of MCT.
USD 950 per person is the cost for Manaslu Circuit for 14 days trek. The budget USD 950 is the normal cost for MCT. We can reduce the trip price if you have a group for trekking. In offseason, we can reduce some portion of Amount from here mentioned price.
Just by adding 7 days extra on MCT, you can also do Tsum Valley Trek. Comparing to Arround Manaslu, Tsum Valley is off the beaten trail. Tsum Valley route strarts from 3,000m. We can say Manaslu Tsum valley Trek is perfect trekking for those who have 21 days time to do adventure in Nepal’s Himalayas.
Both Annapurna Circuit and Manaslu Circuit are adventure grading trekking.
Here are some comparision of both of them.

With a group of 3 people we did the Manaslu Circuit in 12 days. Jayaram with his agency( Base Camp Hike) gave us all the necessary permits, the jeep for transport to Machhakhola, great guide and the strong porters. The service was punctual and efficient. I highly recommend Base Camp Hike for MANASLU TREK.
The total ditance of Manaslu Circuit is approx 177km. In past, there is no road access to Manaslu Hiking Areas as well as Annapurna Cicuit ( Dharapani to Besisahar).
So at that time we should do whole Manaslu Circuit. It’s called Classical Manaslu Circuit. The duration of CLASSICAL MANASLU Cirucit is 17 days which starts from Aarughat and ends at Besisahar.
Nowdays you can do custumize route. In 10 days, ( Starts from Sotikhola and Trek Ends at Dharapani). But in 11 days you can ends trek at Chamche.
Rest day and side trips make a trip long on MT.
Here is shortest itineary.
Choose 3 of 1 Manaslu route which is more suitable for you.
Every 3 to 4 hours walk, you’ll geet launch spot. You can order meal according to your wish which are available on menu. Vegeterain and Non Vegeterian both types of meal, you’ll get on Arround Manaslu Hiking.
If you use water purification then it will be great contribution to make plastic free environment.
Since we should pass Larkya La(5,125) to do Manaslu Trek, it’s wiseful to choose best time. If you’r wondering about when to go Manaslu Trek then your answer is following.
During winter time From Samagauon to Bhimthang, you’ll get difficult to trek due to cold temperature. So expect wintertime, we can do Manaslu trek but for the best weather March to April and September to December is the best season for Manaslu Hiking.
December month is winter season in Nepal. Even though there is no snow on the trial at December, cold temperature makes trek hard. In the morning and evening when you’re in hotel, you’ll feel very cold at December in Mt.Manaslu Hiking.
At the beginging phase of this trai, it is compulsorry to Camping trek. Because some spot there was not Teahouse. But slowly local people made teahouses. Nowdays you can get a room with two single beds. Some place they made also room with inside toilet. It looks simple but it neat and cleans.
Before go to sleep , you can seat on warm dining hall. Hotel to firehood heating system to make dining hall warm.
Nowdays they are improving thier teahouse. Hotel owners are concenerning to improve to quality of Teahouses.
No. Only some places you’ll get WIFI.
Yes, you must have local licenced holder guide.
Sure. If you want to get only local guide for Manaslu, we Base Camp Hike Pvt Ltd is always welcome to you. Being Manslu trek is restricted areas, you must have Nepali License Holder Trekking Guide.
Sure, you can do Manaslu Guide Hire.The best thing of us is we have some local expert guide of Manslu Region. If you wish to have MCT local expert guide then contact to Base Camp Hike.
The following is Manaslu Google Maps.
Since tourists has to pay more than 100 USD to get Manaslu Permit, it it quite expensive than other popular trekking trail. Only fewer tourists can afford it. If you want to know more information about Manaslu Hiking, leave a message for further details.
