The world 8th highest mountains Manaslu (8,163m) is literally known as human God or God of the human’s felling. Manaslu Circuit Trekking located at religious and historical place “Gorkha districts”, mid-western part of Nepal. Manaslu Circuit Trek rewards as the restricted area trekking in Nepal, with a supreme alpine experience and offers a Himalayan heritage and a rich mountain biological diversity for the Trekkers. This trip was officially opened in 1991, but mountaineering expeditions have long had access to the area.

Trekking in Manaslu Circuit is absolute one of the best Trekking in Nepal, a trek of amazing ethnic and scenic variety, breathtaking views of Mt, Himalchuli, Mt. Manaslu (8,163m), Mt. Ganesh Himal and other mountains. Historical palace “Gorkha” (home of Nepal's first kings) is main entrance of the Manaslu Trekking but is also possible to start from Dhading Arughat who wishes to saves a day of walking compared to the trek from Gorkha and alternative trekking starting point from the Trisuli Bazaar. Drive 200 km from antic city Kathmandu to Gorkha, our journey begins through the beautiful landscape and different flora and fauna. Then the trail goes to through the Burhi Gandali River passing a huge valley of lush rice terraces with animal husbandry and thatched huts dweller in the low elevation. The trail leads us continue to upper part, purely Tibetan, where trade with Tibet continues as it has for centuries, and we share the trails with yak caravans. The incredible mountain panoramas, dominated by Manaslu itself, begin after the first few days, and we meet most beautiful Tibetan villages, Sama Gaon and Samdo, with time to visit Manaslu Base Camp and trek high up the valleys toward Tibet, before cross the epic Larkya La pass (5,225m). A trek around the 'high' Manaslu Circuit is a step back in time, a glimpse of unspoiled Nepali and Tibetan villages walk through the remote Himalayan paradise. The diversity of the trek, from the Hindu middle hills to the Tibetan high-country dwellers and the awesome mountain scenery of the Manaslu Himal and surrounding peaks combine to make this circuit one of the most fascinating, as well as one of the most challenging, trekking in Nepal Himalaya.
