Cross Larkya La Pass (5,106m) for views of Himlung Himal, Cheo Himal, Kang Guru, and Annapurna II
Trek through Tibetan-Buddhist villages largely untouched by Nepal's busier trekking circuits — Jagat, Namrung, Samagaon, and Samdo
Stand beneath Mount Manaslu (8,163m), the world's eighth-highest mountain, from Samagaon and the optional Manaslu Base Camp side trip
Visit Birendra Lake, a glacial lake beneath Manaslu's slopes, on your acclimatization day
Two genuine acclimatization stops built into the route before the pass — not just one rushed rest day
A restricted-area trek with real solitude: far fewer trekkers than the Everest or Annapurna circuits
Pass through the official Manaslu Conservation Area entry point at Jagat, with centuries-old mani walls and chortens along the way
Connect with the Annapurna Circuit Trek route at Dharapani — a natural extension if you want more trail time
Full licensed-guide and restricted-area permit handling, now simplified since March 2026's removal of the old two-trekker minimum
Our itinerary follows a proven schedule designed for optimal acclimatization and success. All itineraries are flexible and may be adjusted based on weather conditions and team performance.
as of March 2026, the Nepal Department of Immigration removed the requirement that Manaslu Restricted Area Permits be issued only to groups of two or more — solo trekkers can now join with a registered agency and licensed guide. A licensed guide remains mandatory regardless of group size.
the Restricted Area Permit replaces it. If a quote from any operator lists a separate TIMS fee for the Manaslu Circuit specifically, ask why.
the Restricted Area Permit cannot be obtained at the trailhead, so this needs lead time before departure.
This comprehensive equipment list covers everything you'll need for your trip.
Enhance your adventure with these optional add-on experiences. You can select them during booking.

this itinerary runs tight through the Larkya La crossing, and a weather delay around the pass has limited slack built in — ask your operator about contingency options.
expect basic teahouses with limited power and minimal to no internet from Samdo onward.
