We start our trek with the drive to Arughat from Kathmandu and then follow the meandering Budhi Gandaki River northwards to the village of Deng. Apart from Manaslu, we will also get chance to explore the stunning panorama of other mountains including, Dhaulagiri, Himlung Himal (7125m), Annapurna massif, and Ganesh Himal Peaks.
Nepal Himalayas Trekking welcomes you for this wonderful Manaslu Trek. I assure you to make your Nepal holidays worth remembering forever.
Also praised for its trails by numerous teahouses, Manaslu trek is one of the best remote trek in Nepal. You shall approach at the base of the eighth tallest peak in the world—the Mt. Manaslu, through rich vegetation, geographical and cultural diversity. The Samdo, Namrung, and Sama Gaun villages offer you the amazing views of Mt. Manaslu, and rich cultural experiences. With the increase in the number of teahouses in this region, and remote experience of the villages, this trek is being a competing substitute against Annapurna Base Camp trek. If you want to trek in 'a road less travelled by', and want to embrace some adventure with cultural diversity, do not miss this trek.
Larkya La Pass is the highest point you shall ascend in this trek, which is prone to unprecedented storm, through exposed and rough terrain. Though it doesn’t have any sharp edge, you would keep your legs working overlooking the distant prayer flags blowing in the wind. If you are physically fit, capable to enduring long hours of walking, don't have knee or ankle problem, you can easily complete this trek. With the increase in altitude, you shall experience climatic change, and the dominancy of Hindu culture replaced by Buddhist, often highly influenced by Tibetan culture. Wild animals such as musk deer, snow leopard, grey wolf, Himalayan Thar, Blue Sheep, etc. can be found in this region.
This is one of the less busy tea house trekking tails in the country, where a trekker cannot go on his/her own. You must be accompanied by a guide and be travelling at least in a group of two members. You have to take Annapurna Conservation Area Project Permit, Manaslu Conservation Area Project Permit, and Restricted Area Permit. You will not require to have the TIMS card if you have the Restricted Area Permit. October is the busiest season of all for this trek. You will have enough time for acclimatization. Be slow, drink plenty of clean water, eat hygienic food, and stay warm. The room for Dharmasala has to be pre-booked, otherwise you might end up sleeping in your tent as there is no any nearby settlement.

Today, upon your arrival Tribhuvan International Airport, our representatives from Nepal Himalayas Trekking will welcome you and transfer to the hotel.
With the help of our experienced tour guide, you will spend this whole day for Kathmandu Valley Sightseeing. The main places will be: Pashupatinath, Swayambhunath, Bauddhanath, Kathmandu Durbar Square and Patan Durbar Square among others
We today, will start our Manaslu trekking from Kathmandu. Our today’s destination will be Soti Khola (730m), which will take approx. 7-8 hours. A well-defined path through verdant paddy fields climbs past Gurung villages. At Shanti Bazaar, you will have the first view of Shringi Himal. From here Budhi Gandaki will be our uphill companion. After crossing the suspension bridge of Soti Khola, we then reach into the village which is famous for famed Honey Hunters.
Today, we start trekking in the morning. And after crossing the bridge, the trek climbs up onto a ridge above the huge rapids of Budhi Gandaki and reaches to Khorsaani. Then, the trail, gets a bit precarious as it passes over a big rock and crosses a stream. The rocky trail then goes up and down through large stand of nettles, passes tropical waterfalls and again backs down to the bank of Budhi Gandaki. The trek goes up again on a steep rocky trail and down then up around to the Gurung village of Labu Besi and rests overnight.
From Labu Besi, we move onwards today. And we follow the trail gradually uphill to Jagat. We reach at Jagat via Doban. We stay at Jagat overnight.
The day begins by following the river bank again for the first hour up to Ghata Khola. We then cross to the eastern bank before ascending to Philim, one of the few large settlements on this route and home to the Manaslu Conservation Area Project office. From here you can view Mt. Lapuchun (5,950m). Overnight, we will stay at Guest House.
The trek takes us through a heavily forested area in a narrow valley until we reach the little settlement of Dang. We then cross the Budhi Gandaki River where the valley opens and we begin our ascent to Rana. The trail now takes us high above the river giving us views of the Manaslu Massif before descending to Ghap. We will stay overnight at Guest House in Ghap.
Today we trek from Ghap to lho village (3020m). It is the distance of about 6 to 7 hours normal walk. Slowly and gradually we would be gaining altitude and with the increase in altitude, we enter into alpine territory and accordingly we would have increasing mountain views. On the way to Manrung, we would find more number of Mani walls and three more crossing of the Budi Gandaki. Finally we will reach at Lho where we will stay overnight.
Today, we will be resuming the trek with a steep descent and a crossing of yet another rock-strewn torrent called Thusang Khola. You will realize that Manaslu and Himalchuli dominate the entire landscape. Then on, across the glacier-fed Numla Khola, the valley drops away to a moraine while we follow the ancient trans-Himalayan trail now a just very few kilometers from Tibet. We then reach at Samagaon. Samagaon (3390m) is one of the classic Lama settlements in the region with monatery and mani walls and all things totally Tibetan.
Today will be a rest and acclimatization day in Samagaon. You can have an optional hike to Punggyen Gompa or the day can be spent immersing oneself in the daily life of Sama Gompa.
Today’s walk starts easily enough. We cross Budhi Gandaki for a final time and pause at the old stone wall of mani inscriptions bidding us well for progress over the pass. The trail gradually rises through juniper and tundra with a viewpoint overlooking the Larkya La Glacier. Further climb will bring us to memorably Spartan Larkya Rest House. We now reach at Dharmashala (4460m) for our overnight stay.
Today, we will have full-day acclimatization at Dharmashala. We can explore the surrounding areas of Dharmashala today and stay here tonight.
An early morning start is needed for what is to be a particularly tough and extended day. We start at approx. 4 am to avoid gale force wind which usually gains in strength after mid-day at the pass. After a long gradual climb alongside a moraine, we make a short descent to a glacial lake and reach the head of the moraine (4700m) which we cross to climb to the ridge top. Four frozen lakes lie below and then it is up to the crest of the Larkya La (5100m). The reward for these difficult trekking conditions is brilliant westerly views of Himlung Himal, Kangurru and Annapurna II as well as the looming omnipresence of Manaslu. Well, the descent is hardly any easier; we drop around 650m in less than an hour. Our trail then levels off onto yak pastures before finally reaching Bimtang (3590m), a collection of typical summer kharkas.
Now, the toughest days on the trail are behind us. We descend through meadows and through pine and rhododendron forest to reach Hampuk and then after dropping further following the course of the Dudh Khola we arrive at Karche and then onto the village of Gho. Keeping the west bank of the river, the afternoon is one of the gradual descents to the Gurung Settlement of Tilije which has a certain notoriety for apply brandy. We stay overnight in Tilije (2300m) at local lodge.
Trek goes along the Dudh Khola, a tributary of the Marsyangdi River, before arriving at the confluence in Dharapani. From here, we will continue on to Tal where the river appears as a lake. We will stay at Tal tonight.
Today, after breakfast drive to Besisahar by sharing Jeep and then will drive back to Kathmandu either private vehicle or private vehicle. And then overnight at hotel
Today, after having breakfast, we will accompany you to the airport for the returning flight. We bid you farewell at the airport hoping to see you again!

If you are alone, you can ask for as permission from another group to join them. Alternatively, you can buy an extra permit for a ghost trekker. But remember that you will still need a guide and you will also need a real passport from another person to obtain permit for ghost trekker.
Manaslu received significant number of tourists only since 2010. Previously, there was no proper trail and camping was the only possible form of accommodation. However, there has been lots of changes since then. These days, tea house trekking is possible in Manaslu. If you have high level of stamina and will to explore the rich cultural aspects of highland, Manaslu Trek is not an impossible activity for you. Difficulty of any trek can be calculated based on average walking hour per day, maximum altitude that you will reach, the terrain that you will pass through and the remoteness of the area.
Expect an average walking hour to be in between 6hrs to 8hrs a day. You should be prepared to walk for up to 10 to 12hrs in a day to cross Larkya La Pass. Number of days depends on the itinerary that you follow. Trek will be easier if you have enough acclimatization days in your itinerary.

Yes, it is still one of the least frequented off-the beaten treks. Statistically, where more than 10,000 trekkers visited the nearby Annapurna region, only 2000 trekkers had visited Manaslu last year.
With the increase in popularity of Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek, many new teahouses and lodges have been opened in the trail. So, accommodation is available in tea houses if you follow the standard trail. Although, if you like, we can arrange for accommodation in camps. Lodging and food cost in Manaslu and Tsum Valley is never constant. The rate differs from one tea house to the other and the price is also different according to season. Also, you will find the price of food to be higher with increase in the altitude. It is because mules and yaks are the only means of transport available at these high-altitude areas. The staple food- Dal Bhat is cheapest in lower altitude areas while potatoes and tsampa (a local food) is cheapest at high altitude areas. It is because rice is not locally grown at these high-altitude areas.

However, cell phones from NCell GSM Network and Nepal Telecom will work only as far as Arkhet which is near Soti Khola.

Weather remains cold for most of the year in Manaslu area. So, always remember to bring on warm clothes. It is best to have 2bags. Include all heavy items that will be in rare use during trek in one bag and pack your personal belongings like money, camera, toilet paper and tooth paste in another bag. The heavy bag will be carried by porters or mules.
However, since this is a teahouse trek, you do not need to bring technical gears with you. Having micro spikes will help help you while lowering down from Larkya La Pass as you will walk down through the icy trail.

We start our trek with the drive to Arughat from Kathmandu and then follow the meandering Budhi Gandaki River northwards to the village of Deng. Apart from Manaslu, we will also get chance to explore the stunning panorama of other mountains including, Dhaulagiri, Himlung Himal (7125m), Annapurna massif, and Ganesh Himal Peaks.
Nepal Himalayas Trekking welcomes you for this wonderful Manaslu Trek. I assure you to make your Nepal holidays worth remembering forever.
Also praised for its trails by numerous teahouses, Manaslu trek is one of the best remote trek in Nepal. You shall approach at the base of the eighth tallest peak in the world—the Mt. Manaslu, through rich vegetation, geographical and cultural diversity. The Samdo, Namrung, and Sama Gaun villages offer you the amazing views of Mt. Manaslu, and rich cultural experiences. With the increase in the number of teahouses in this region, and remote experience of the villages, this trek is being a competing substitute against Annapurna Base Camp trek. If you want to trek in 'a road less travelled by', and want to embrace some adventure with cultural diversity, do not miss this trek.
Larkya La Pass is the highest point you shall ascend in this trek, which is prone to unprecedented storm, through exposed and rough terrain. Though it doesn’t have any sharp edge, you would keep your legs working overlooking the distant prayer flags blowing in the wind. If you are physically fit, capable to enduring long hours of walking, don't have knee or ankle problem, you can easily complete this trek. With the increase in altitude, you shall experience climatic change, and the dominancy of Hindu culture replaced by Buddhist, often highly influenced by Tibetan culture. Wild animals such as musk deer, snow leopard, grey wolf, Himalayan Thar, Blue Sheep, etc. can be found in this region.
This is one of the less busy tea house trekking tails in the country, where a trekker cannot go on his/her own. You must be accompanied by a guide and be travelling at least in a group of two members. You have to take Annapurna Conservation Area Project Permit, Manaslu Conservation Area Project Permit, and Restricted Area Permit. You will not require to have the TIMS card if you have the Restricted Area Permit. October is the busiest season of all for this trek. You will have enough time for acclimatization. Be slow, drink plenty of clean water, eat hygienic food, and stay warm. The room for Dharmasala has to be pre-booked, otherwise you might end up sleeping in your tent as there is no any nearby settlement.

We today, will start our Manaslu trekking from Kathmandu. Our today’s destination will be Soti Khola (730m), which will take approx. 7-8 hours. A well-defined path through verdant paddy fields climbs past Gurung villages. At Shanti Bazaar, you will have the first view of Shringi Himal. From here Budhi Gandaki will be our uphill companion. After crossing the suspension bridge of Soti Khola, we then reach into the village which is famous for famed Honey Hunters.
Today, we start trekking in the morning. And after crossing the bridge, the trek climbs up onto a ridge above the huge rapids of Budhi Gandaki and reaches to Khorsaani. Then, the trail, gets a bit precarious as it passes over a big rock and crosses a stream. The rocky trail then goes up and down through large stand of nettles, passes tropical waterfalls and again backs down to the bank of Budhi Gandaki. The trek goes up again on a steep rocky trail and down then up around to the Gurung village of Labu Besi and rests overnight.
From Labu Besi, we move onwards today. And we follow the trail gradually uphill to Jagat. We reach at Jagat via Doban. We stay at Jagat overnight.
The day begins by following the river bank again for the first hour up to Ghata Khola. We then cross to the eastern bank before ascending to Philim, one of the few large settlements on this route and home to the Manaslu Conservation Area Project office. From here you can view Mt. Lapuchun (5,950m). Overnight, we will stay at Guest House.
The trek takes us through a heavily forested area in a narrow valley until we reach the little settlement of Dang. We then cross the Budhi Gandaki River where the valley opens and we begin our ascent to Rana. The trail now takes us high above the river giving us views of the Manaslu Massif before descending to Ghap. We will stay overnight at Guest House in Ghap.
Today we trek from Ghap to lho village (3020m). It is the distance of about 6 to 7 hours normal walk. Slowly and gradually we would be gaining altitude and with the increase in altitude, we enter into alpine territory and accordingly we would have increasing mountain views. On the way to Manrung, we would find more number of Mani walls and three more crossing of the Budi Gandaki. Finally we will reach at Lho where we will stay overnight.
Today, we will be resuming the trek with a steep descent and a crossing of yet another rock-strewn torrent called Thusang Khola. You will realize that Manaslu and Himalchuli dominate the entire landscape. Then on, across the glacier-fed Numla Khola, the valley drops away to a moraine while we follow the ancient trans-Himalayan trail now a just very few kilometers from Tibet. We then reach at Samagaon. Samagaon (3390m) is one of the classic Lama settlements in the region with monatery and mani walls and all things totally Tibetan.
Today will be a rest and acclimatization day in Samagaon. You can have an optional hike to Punggyen Gompa or the day can be spent immersing oneself in the daily life of Sama Gompa.
Today’s walk starts easily enough. We cross Budhi Gandaki for a final time and pause at the old stone wall of mani inscriptions bidding us well for progress over the pass. The trail gradually rises through juniper and tundra with a viewpoint overlooking the Larkya La Glacier. Further climb will bring us to memorably Spartan Larkya Rest House. We now reach at Dharmashala (4460m) for our overnight stay.
Today, we will have full-day acclimatization at Dharmashala. We can explore the surrounding areas of Dharmashala today and stay here tonight.
An early morning start is needed for what is to be a particularly tough and extended day. We start at approx. 4 am to avoid gale force wind which usually gains in strength after mid-day at the pass. After a long gradual climb alongside a moraine, we make a short descent to a glacial lake and reach the head of the moraine (4700m) which we cross to climb to the ridge top. Four frozen lakes lie below and then it is up to the crest of the Larkya La (5100m). The reward for these difficult trekking conditions is brilliant westerly views of Himlung Himal, Kangurru and Annapurna II as well as the looming omnipresence of Manaslu. Well, the descent is hardly any easier; we drop around 650m in less than an hour. Our trail then levels off onto yak pastures before finally reaching Bimtang (3590m), a collection of typical summer kharkas.
Now, the toughest days on the trail are behind us. We descend through meadows and through pine and rhododendron forest to reach Hampuk and then after dropping further following the course of the Dudh Khola we arrive at Karche and then onto the village of Gho. Keeping the west bank of the river, the afternoon is one of the gradual descents to the Gurung Settlement of Tilije which has a certain notoriety for apply brandy. We stay overnight in Tilije (2300m) at local lodge.
Trek goes along the Dudh Khola, a tributary of the Marsyangdi River, before arriving at the confluence in Dharapani. From here, we will continue on to Tal where the river appears as a lake. We will stay at Tal tonight.
Today, after breakfast drive to Besisahar by sharing Jeep and then will drive back to Kathmandu either private vehicle or private vehicle. And then overnight at hotel
Today, after having breakfast, we will accompany you to the airport for the returning flight. We bid you farewell at the airport hoping to see you again!

Manaslu received significant number of tourists only since 2010. Previously, there was no proper trail and camping was the only possible form of accommodation. However, there has been lots of changes since then. These days, tea house trekking is possible in Manaslu. If you have high level of stamina and will to explore the rich cultural aspects of highland, Manaslu Trek is not an impossible activity for you. Difficulty of any trek can be calculated based on average walking hour per day, maximum altitude that you will reach, the terrain that you will pass through and the remoteness of the area.
Expect an average walking hour to be in between 6hrs to 8hrs a day. You should be prepared to walk for up to 10 to 12hrs in a day to cross Larkya La Pass. Number of days depends on the itinerary that you follow. Trek will be easier if you have enough acclimatization days in your itinerary.

With the increase in popularity of Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek, many new teahouses and lodges have been opened in the trail. So, accommodation is available in tea houses if you follow the standard trail. Although, if you like, we can arrange for accommodation in camps. Lodging and food cost in Manaslu and Tsum Valley is never constant. The rate differs from one tea house to the other and the price is also different according to season. Also, you will find the price of food to be higher with increase in the altitude. It is because mules and yaks are the only means of transport available at these high-altitude areas. The staple food- Dal Bhat is cheapest in lower altitude areas while potatoes and tsampa (a local food) is cheapest at high altitude areas. It is because rice is not locally grown at these high-altitude areas.
