The Manaslu Circuit first came to our attention as we were climbing Manaslu in autumn 2008. Sadly, the Annapurna Region has become overly developed with many of the walking trails have been turned into roads, which reach further into the mountains every year. We wanted to offer an alternative trek, with equally spectacular views.
The Manaslu region, a restricted area, is nowhere near as developed and the circuit of the world's eighth highest mountain is an ideal challenge for first time trekkers, and those who may have previously visited the Everest Region. The trek starts from Arughat, a large prosperous bazaar in central Nepal. The trail leads through bamboo forests and clings to the side of cliffs in deep gorges, penetrating into the heart of the Kutang Region. This region is inhabited primarly by Gurungs, who practice Buddhism. The trek then continues into the Nupri Region, a fascinating area inhabited by descendents of Tibetan immigrants. Complimenting these contrasting cultures are some superb view sites, with incredible views of Manaslu (8,163m) and the Himalayas... read more
