The Manaslu trek isn’t just any regular walk—it’s a journey that changes you in ways you never imagined.

Take Kyra – She started her trek with just curiosity and a desire for adventure. But by the time she crossed the highest point, Larkya La Pass, she wasn’t just a traveler anymore. She had faced her limits and discovered a stronger, wiser version of herself. And it’s not just Kyra’s story. Every trekker who explores the wild beauty of the Manaslu Circuit comes back with their own stories—about the amazing views, tough moments, and times that take your breath away (and not just because of the high altitude!).

The purpose of this blog is to share the true experiences of people who have trekked the Manaslu Circuit. Through their stories, you’ll get a sense of what it’s really like to walk these rugged paths, handle unexpected challenges, and soak in the beauty of this adventure. Whether you’re planning your own trek or just curious about what makes this trail so special, here you’ll find personal stories, insights, and lessons that might inspire your journey.

A Trek of Contrasts

The Manaslu Circuit is often called a trek of contrasts—where the landscapes change dramatically from one day to the next, and the culture feels like a step back in time. One day, you’re hiking through green valleys, with rivers flowing and waterfalls crashing down cliffs. A few days later, you’re surrounded by icy mountains and glaciers, breathing thinner air as the world around you turns into a cold, rugged wilderness.

Take John, for instance. He remembers the strange feeling of leaving the warm, green Budi Gandaki valley and finding himself, a few days later, in Samagaon—a Tibetan village under huge, snow-covered peaks. “One minute, you’re walking through forests of rhododendrons and pine trees. Then, all of a sudden, you’re standing in front of a giant glacier, with monks chanting at a nearby monastery. It feels like you’ve stepped into a completely different world.”

Culturally, the trek is a deep dive into Tibetan-influenced villages. You’ll see ancient Buddhist monasteries scattered around and meet locals who live quiet, simple lives. In villages like Lho and Samdo, trekkers are often invited into homes for tea, getting a chance to learn about local customs and spiritual practices. The peaceful way of life, mixed with the dramatic mountains, creates an unforgettable contrast that stays with you long after the trek is over.

Manaslu Region

A Less-Traveled Path

One of the biggest reasons people choose the Manaslu Circuit is because it’s less crowded than other popular treks in Nepal, like Everest Base Camp or the Annapurna Circuit. While those treks are amazing, they can sometimes feel too busy, with many trekkers, touristy tea houses, and well-worn paths.

The Manaslu Circuit, however, offers a more peaceful, untouched experience. Even in the busiest seasons, you can hike for hours without meeting another group. This quietness allows you to connect with nature and the local culture on a deeper level. It’s just you, the tall mountains, and the winding trails. Lisa, a solo trekker, said that this feeling of being alone with nature was one of the best parts of her journey. “There were times when it felt like I was the only person in the world. Just me, the trail, and these unbelievable mountains. It was humbling and freeing at the same time.”

Because fewer people walk the Manaslu Circuit, many of the villages still keep their traditional charm, untouched by large numbers of tourists. For those looking for an adventure away from the more popular treks, this trail offers a refreshing escape from the usual trekking routes.

Unique Landscapes and Breathtaking Views

Trekkers’ Stories of Amazing Views

When it comes to amazing views, the Manaslu Circuit doesn’t disappoint. Trekkers often stop in the middle of their hike, completely amazed by the beauty around them. One of the most breathtaking moments happens after crossing the Larkya La Pass, which is 5,106 meters high. When you reach the top, it feels like the world opens up in front of you, showing off snow-covered mountains, including Manaslu, the eighth-highest mountain on Earth.

Emily, a trekker from Canada, remembers this moment clearly: “It was freezing cold, and the wind wouldn’t stop, but when I got to the pass and looked out, I forgot all about the cold. It felt like I was on top of the world, with mountains stretching out forever in every direction. It was one of those times where you just have to stop and take it all in.”

But the beautiful views aren’t only at the high points. Even in the lower parts of the trek, you get to see amazing sights. Green valleys, farms on terraces, and rivers that twist through the land all look incredible, with the tall mountains in the background. Each day brings new, even more beautiful, views than the last.

Wildlife Encounters Along the Trek

As you walk through the different landscapes of the Manaslu Circuit, there’s a good chance you’ll spot some of the rare animals that live here. Trekkers have seen Himalayan wildlife, like the graceful bharal (blue sheep) climbing steep hills, and even the very rare snow leopard.

David, a big fan of wildlife, remembers one special moment: “We were walking through a thick forest near Deng when we saw something move far away. At first, we thought it was just a big shadow, but then we realized—it was a Himalayan black bear, just walking along the ridge. It was unreal. We stood still, just watching it move so easily through the trees.”

Other trekkers have been lucky enough to see red pandas, langur monkeys, and many birds, including the colorful Himalayan monal, Nepal’s national bird. These animal sightings remind you that you’re in a place where nature is still wild, and the creatures, like the landscapes, are free and untamed.

Challenges on the Trail

Dealing with Altitude Sickness

Altitude sickness is something every trekker hears about but doesn’t really understand until they feel it themselves. On the Manaslu Circuit, the height you climb gets higher little by little, but when you get close to places like Larkya La Pass, many trekkers start feeling the effects of the thinner air. Common symptoms include headaches, dizziness, and difficulty breathing. If it’s ignored, altitude sickness can become dangerous.

Tom, an experienced trekker, remembers when altitude sickness hit him: “It started around Samdo, a few days before we crossed the pass. I was feeling great for most of the trek, but then suddenly, I couldn’t breathe well. I had a terrible headache, and every step felt like walking through mud. You really can’t fight it when the altitude takes over.”

To avoid altitude sickness, it’s important to take your time. Trekkers usually take breaks called “acclimatization days” to let their bodies adjust to the higher altitudes. Drinking lots of water, eating well, and staying away from alcohol are important. Some people also bring medicine like Diamox to help their bodies get used to the height faster. As Tom says, “You have to listen to your body. It’s not worth risking your health just to reach the top.”

Handling Unpredictable Weather

Weather in the mountains is unpredictable, and the Manaslu Circuit is no different. Sunny skies can quickly change to rain, snow, or even hail, turning the trek into a challenge. The weather can also make it harder to see where you’re going and make the trails more slippery. One minute, you’re enjoying a sunny walk, and the next, you’re rushing to grab your raincoat as dark clouds move in.

Sarah, who traveled alone, experienced some surprises with the weather: “We were climbing towards Larkya La, and the sky was clear when we started. But halfway through, it started snowing really hard. We could barely see, and the path got super slippery. All we could do was keep moving, step by step, because going back wasn’t an option.”

The best way to handle unpredictable weather is to be prepared. Wearing layers of clothing is important so you can adjust to the changing conditions. A good waterproof jacket and strong trekking boots can make a huge difference when you’re facing rain or snow.

Dealing with Physical Endurance and Fatigue

The Manaslu Circuit is beautiful, but it’s also tough. The steep climbs, narrow paths, and long days of walking are hard for even the strongest trekkers. As you get higher, the air becomes thinner, making each step harder to take.

River crossings are common on the Manaslu Circuit. Sometimes you have to carefully walk over slippery rocks or cross bridges that sway in the wind. For many trekkers, these crossings are not just physically challenging but mentally tough too. Jane, a trekker from Australia, remembers one scary day: “We had to cross a fast-moving river, and the only way across was this narrow bridge. I could see the water swirling below, and I just had to trust myself not to slip. My legs were shaking by the time I got to the other side, but looking back, it’s one of those moments that showed me how strong I really am.”

Trekking builds up your strength as you go, but it’s important to pace yourself. Fatigue can sneak up on you, especially after several days of hard climbing and long walks. Taking regular breaks, eating snacks that give you energy, and staying focused mentally can help you manage the physical challenges of the trek.

Cultural Immersion Along the Route

Connecting with Local Communities

One of the best parts of trekking the Manaslu Circuit is meeting the local people. These aren’t just quick chats but real moments where trekkers connect with the villagers. Places like Namrung, Lho, and Samdo give trekkers a chance to see how people live in the Himalayan highlands, where Tibetan culture is a big part of everyday life.

Amy, a trekker, was once invited into a home in Samagaon for tea. She remembers, “I sat around a small fire in a simple kitchen. The family didn’t speak much English, but we laughed and shared smiles as they served butter tea. It wasn’t just about the tea—it was about feeling welcomed into their world, even for a short time.”

These moments let trekkers peek into the daily lives of people living in one of the most remote places on Earth. Visiting monasteries, watching traditional dances, or sharing a meal with locals turns the trek into more than just a hike—it becomes a personal, heartwarming experience.

Seeing Traditional Customs and Practices

As you walk the Manaslu Circuit, you’ll see lots of old customs and traditions that people have kept alive for generations. Tibetan Buddhist culture is everywhere—prayer flags flutter in the wind, sacred mantras are carved on stone walls, and ancient monasteries are the spiritual heart of the villages.

In Lho, many trekkers stop by the Ribung Monastery to watch the monks during their daily rituals. The peaceful, meditative vibe of the monasteries is something that impresses most trekkers. David, who visited a monastery in Samagaon, said, “It felt timeless. The monks were chanting, and the air smelled like incense. It made me feel like I was part of something much bigger than myself.”

Trekkers might also be lucky enough to witness the Mani Rimdu festival. This annual celebration in the Tibetan Buddhist communities is full of music, masked dances, and religious ceremonies, offering a colorful view into the spiritual life of the region.

Tasting Local Food and Cuisine

The food on the Manaslu Circuit is simple but just what you need to keep going on long days of trekking. Dal Bhat, a traditional Nepali dish made of lentils and rice, is served everywhere and gives trekkers the energy they need. But it’s not just about keeping you going—many trekkers find the local food a big part of the adventure.

John, who trekked with his friends, remembers a special meal in Deng. “We were so tired from the climb, and it was freezing outside. Then we had this big bowl of thukpa, a noodle soup with veggies and meat. It was simple, but at that moment, it felt like the best meal ever.”

Trekkers also get to try homemade Tibetan bread, momo dumplings, and sometimes yak cheese. Sharing these meals in cozy teahouses with other trekkers and locals creates a sense of warmth and community that makes the journey even more special.

Important Information for Your Trek

Permits You Need for the Trek

The Manaslu Circuit is a restricted area, which means trekkers need special permits before starting the journey. Unlike more popular treks like the Annapurna Circuit or Everest Base Camp, trekking Manaslu takes a little extra paperwork, but the amazing experience makes it worth it.

Here are the three permits you’ll need:

  • Manaslu Restricted Area Permit (RAP): Since Manaslu is a restricted zone, you must get the RAP. The cost depends on how long you stay, ranging from $70 to $100 for the first seven days, and more if you stay longer. You can only apply through a registered trekking agency, and you must have a licensed guide with you.
  • Manaslu Conservation Area Permit (MCAP): This permit, which costs around $30 per person, helps protect nature and wildlife in the region. The money goes toward maintaining trails and conserving the environment.
  • Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP): Because the Manaslu trek connects with the Annapurna Circuit near Dharapani, you’ll also need an ACAP, which costs around $30. Even if you’re just passing through, you must have this permit.

Without these permits, you could face fines or be stopped at checkpoints. Make sure to get your permits through your trekking agency to avoid any problems.

Where to Stay Along the Route

On the Manaslu Circuit, you’ll mostly stay in teahouses and lodges. These are simple guesthouses run by locals. While they may not be fancy, they provide a warm place to sleep, home-cooked meals, and a chance to meet other trekkers and locals.

  • Teahouses: Most villages have teahouses, which usually have a common room where you eat, and either shared or private rooms for sleeping. The rooms are basic, usually with just a bed and a blanket, and shared bathrooms. Some teahouses offer hot showers, but you may have to pay extra.
  • Lodges: In larger villages, there may be lodges that offer a bit more comfort, like better beds, attached bathrooms, and more food options. In popular areas like Namrung or Samagaon, some lodges may also have Wi-Fi or charging stations, but these may come with a small fee.

As you go higher up, the accommodations become simpler. After Samagaon, it’s a good idea to have a warm sleeping bag, as the nights can be very cold, and extra blankets may be limited. Even though the facilities are basic, the warm hospitality makes up for it.

What to Pack for the Trek

Packing for the Manaslu Circuit needs careful planning because you’ll be trekking through different environments—from forests to high mountain passes. Here are the must-haves for your trek:

  • Trekking Boots: You need sturdy, waterproof boots with ankle support. The paths can be rocky and rough, so make sure your boots are comfortable and well-worn in.
  • Warm Clothing: Layers are important because temperatures can change quickly. Bring thermal base layers, fleece jackets, and a warm down jacket for the cold nights.
  • Waterproof Jacket and Pants: The weather can be unpredictable, and you might face rain or snow. A good waterproof jacket and pants will keep you warm and dry.
  • Sleeping Bag: Teahouses provide blankets, but it’s best to bring your own sleeping bag, rated for at least -10°C (14°F), especially at higher altitudes where it gets very cold.
  • Trekking Poles: These help with steep climbs and descents. They also reduce stress on your knees and help keep your balance on uneven paths.
  • Daypack: While porters carry most of your gear, you’ll need a comfortable daypack for things like water, snacks, and extra layers.
  • Water Purification: Bottled water is expensive and not good for the environment. Bring water purification tablets or a filtration bottle to clean water along the way.
  • First Aid Kit: Don’t forget to pack medication for altitude sickness, blister patches, and any other personal medicines you may need.

Pack light, but don’t leave out these essentials. The weather can change quickly, and having the right gear will make your trek much easier and more enjoyable.

Main Highlights of the Trek

Birendra Taal Lake: A Peaceful Spot

Birendra Taal Lake is a beautiful hidden gem on the Manaslu Circuit, sitting at the base of the Manaslu Glacier. The lake’s calm, turquoise waters come from melting ice off the towering Manaslu peak, making it a peaceful place for trekkers to take a break and enjoy the quiet.

Many people see Birendra Taal as a special, almost spiritual, part of the trek. It’s close to the village of Samagaon and is a great spot to relax before tackling the harder parts of the journey. The lake is so still that it reflects the glacier, and the only sounds you hear are the wind and sometimes the distant rumble of avalanches.

Sophie, a trekker from the UK, said, “I sat by the lake for hours, just watching the light change over the glacier. It was one of the most peaceful moments of my trek, and it helped me catch my breath and really appreciate how big and beautiful the mountains are.”

Birendra Taal isn’t just about the views—it’s a place to recharge your mind and body before continuing the tough trek ahead.

Crossing the Larkya La Pass: A Big Adventure

The Larkya La Pass is the toughest but most rewarding part of the Manaslu Circuit Trek. It’s 5,160 meters (16,930 feet) above sea level, making it one of the highest points of the trek. This part of the journey really tests your strength and determination.

Trekkers usually start before sunrise, climbing through snow and rocks. The high altitude makes it harder to breathe, and every step can feel tough, but the view from the top is absolutely worth it. When you reach the summit of Larkya La, you can see the Annapurna Range, Himlung Himal, Cheo Himal, and Kang Guru.

Carlos, a trekker from Spain, said, “The climb was super hard. Every step felt like it took forever, and the air was so thin. But when I got to the top, all the pain disappeared. The mountains stretched as far as I could see, and I felt like I was on top of the world.”

Even though it’s a hard climb, the feeling of pride and accomplishment when you cross Larkya La is amazing. After reaching the top, the descent is much easier and leads to the village of Bimtang, where you can rest and think about the incredible journey you’ve just completed.

Comparing the Manaslu Circuit with Other Treks in Nepal

Annapurna Circuit vs. Manaslu Circuit

When you think about trekking in Nepal, two popular choices are the Annapurna Circuit and the Manaslu Circuit. Both are amazing but offer different experiences. Let’s see how they compare in terms of difficulty, popularity, and what makes them special.

Difficulty: Both treks are challenging, but the Manaslu Circuit is usually considered harder. The trails are steeper, more remote, and you have to cross the high Larkya La Pass (5,160 meters), which is tough on both your body and mind. You also need to adjust to the altitude more quickly since there are fewer rest days.

The Annapurna Circuit is still challenging but a bit easier for more people. It has better infrastructure, like more places to stay and better facilities. The highest point is Thorong La Pass (5,416 meters), which is slightly higher than Larkya La, but the better paths and pacing make it easier for most trekkers.

Popularity: The Annapurna Circuit has been a favorite for a long time and attracts many trekkers each year. This popularity has led to roads being built, making some parts of the trek shorter and more convenient, but some people feel it has lost its sense of being remote.

Manaslu, on the other hand, is less crowded. Fewer trekkers go there because of restricted permits and fewer places to stay, making it feel more wild and untouched. Many trekkers love this solitude. As one person said, “On the Annapurna Circuit, I felt like part of a big parade, but on Manaslu, it was just me, the mountains, and a few yaks.”

Unique Experiences: The Annapurna Circuit is known for its variety. You’ll pass through lush forests, farmland, and even desert-like valleys. You’ll also meet many different cultures, from Gurung to Tibetan communities. There are also cool side trips like visiting Tilicho Lake or Poon Hill.

The Manaslu Circuit feels like stepping back in time. The villages along the trail are influenced by Tibetan culture, and the area feels more isolated and less developed. It’s not just about trekking but experiencing the traditions of the Nubri and Tsum valleys. With fewer tourists and simpler villages, it feels more like an authentic adventure.

If you want an easier trek with lots of variety and don’t mind the crowds, Annapurna is a great choice. But if you’re looking for peace, wild beauty, and a tougher challenge, Manaslu is perfect.

Everest Base Camp Trek vs. Manaslu Circuit

You can’t talk about trekking in Nepal without mentioning the famous Everest Base Camp (EBC) Trek. Comparing it to the Manaslu Circuit shows some big differences in scenery, trekking style, and overall experience.

Difficulty: Everest Base Camp is tough because of the high altitude, with Kala Patthar (5,545 meters) and Base Camp (5,364 meters) being the highest points. The trek has a steady climb, and most routes give you extra days to rest and adjust to the altitude. The paths are well-worn, and there are plenty of places to stay.

Manaslu, however, feels more adventurous. Even though Larkya La Pass is a bit lower than Kala Patthar, the trails are rougher, and it’s more remote. With fewer rest days, it can feel harder in some ways. Altitude sickness is a risk on both treks, but Manaslu can be more challenging because of its isolation.

Popularity: Everest Base Camp is super popular, drawing lots of trekkers every year. During busy seasons, the trails are packed with people, porters, and yaks. Some trekkers enjoy this sense of community, while others find the crowds overwhelming. There are concerns about the environmental impact, especially around Base Camp.

Manaslu is much quieter because fewer people go there. The restricted permits keep the numbers down, so it’s a more peaceful and personal trek. While Everest might feel like a pilgrimage, Manaslu feels like an exploration.

Unique Experiences: Everest Base Camp is on many people’s bucket lists, and the chance to see the world’s tallest mountain up close is breathtaking. You get to see not just Everest but also other famous peaks like Lhotse and Nuptse. Standing at Base Camp feels special, with a sense of history.

Manaslu offers a different kind of magic. Instead of the crowds at Everest, you get a sense of being far from the modern world, surrounded by vast rivers, deep valleys, and towering peaks like Manaslu (the eighth-highest mountain in the world). Trekkers often say that Manaslu feels more like a cultural journey because of the Tibetan influence and remote villages.

Another big difference is the infrastructure. Everest Base Camp has plenty of lodges with Wi-Fi, bakeries, and even coffee machines! Despite the high altitude, you can still find some modern comforts. On the Manaslu Circuit, things are simpler. The teahouses are basic, the food choices are fewer, and you need to be more self-sufficient. It feels more like a real expedition.

Conclusion: If seeing Everest is your dream, the Everest Base Camp Trek is hard to beat. But if you’re after a quieter, less-touristy trek with a mix of challenge and cultural discovery, the Manaslu Circuit is an amazing off-the-beaten-path adventure. Both treks are beautiful, but they offer different experiences depending on what you want from your journey.

Personal Stories from Trekkers

Special Moments and Life Lessons

Trekking the Manaslu Circuit is not just about climbing high mountains or seeing snowy peaks. It’s an adventure that changes people, and the memories stick with them long after the trek is over. Many people say that this journey helps them understand nature, culture, and their own strength better.

One trekker remembered a special moment after a tough climb to the top of Larkya La Pass. They were exhausted, but as they looked out at the glaciers and mountains, their tiredness disappeared. “I realized then,” they said, “that the hardest challenges give you the best rewards. In life, if you keep going, good things will come.”

Another trekker shared how they accidentally saw the sunrise over Birendra Taal. “I wasn’t even planning it,” they laughed. “I woke up early, still in my sleeping bag, and walked to the lake. Everything was so quiet, the water was like a mirror. That moment taught me that the most beautiful experiences sometimes come as surprises.”

These stories show that trekking Manaslu is more than just walking—it’s about reflecting, learning, and growing in one of the most beautiful places on Earth.

Challenges That Help You Grow

No matter how carefully trekkers plan their trip, the mountains often surprise them. Many people talk about the unexpected challenges they face on the Manaslu Circuit, but these tough moments help them grow both physically and mentally.

Take Lisa, for example. She had prepared for the trek for months but wasn’t ready for the sudden altitude sickness. “I thought I was super strong,” she said, “but after 4,000 meters, I felt dizzy, and every step was harder than ever.” Instead of pushing through, she listened to her body and took extra rest days. “I learned patience,” she said, “and how to slow down and pay attention—not just to myself, but to the mountains too.”

Then there was Arun, who got caught in unexpected bad weather. “One minute the sky was clear, and the next, it was raining and snowing hard,” he explained. “I had to wait under a rock, soaking wet and cold. But instead of getting frustrated, I reminded myself that I came here to face the wild side of nature. I realized you can’t control everything—you just have to go with the flow sometimes.”

These challenges teach trekkers that success isn’t just about reaching the end quickly but how you handle the tough moments along the way.

The Friendships Made Along the Way

One of the best things about trekking the Manaslu Circuit is the friendships that form between trekkers. Going through the same challenges brings people together in unexpected ways.

Trekkers often talk about how they started their trek as strangers but ended as close friends. Ravi and Maria’s story is a good example. They met while struggling up a steep hill. “We were both out of breath and tired,” Maria said with a smile. “I made a joke about feeling like a mountain goat, and we both started laughing.” From that point on, they hiked together, helping each other through the tough parts and celebrating the small wins, like reaching the next teahouse. “By the end of the trek, we felt like family,” Ravi said. “I started alone, but I finished with lifelong friends.”

The friendship also extends to the guides and locals. Many trekkers talk about how special their interactions with Sherpas and porters were. “Our guide, Pasang, was amazing,” one trekker said. “Even when we were tired, he made us laugh and told us stories about his life in the mountains.”

Sharing meals, talking around a campfire, or admiring the same beautiful view together—these moments make the trek feel like a shared adventure. By the end, the Manaslu Circuit is not just about the trail, but the people you experience it with.

Conclusion

The Manaslu Circuit is not only a physical challenge, but a chance to connect—with nature and with other people. The memories, struggles, and friendships made on the trek are what make it truly special. Whether you leave with new friends or personal lessons, every trekker comes back with stories worth telling.

Embracing the Manaslu Journey

Trekking the Manaslu Circuit isn’t just a physical adventure—it’s a personal journey through some of the most remote and stunning places in the Himalayas. Along the way, you’ll see all kinds of landscapes—from green valleys to rocky mountain passes, and peaceful Buddhist monasteries hidden in wild areas. You’ll walk through Tibetan villages, learning about their traditions and way of life, which feels so different from our own.

Trekkers have shared stories about the amazing views and the animals they’ve seen. Whether it’s the shining peaks from Larkya La Pass or the quiet beauty of Birendra Taal, the Manaslu Circuit always offers breathtaking scenes. But as many trekkers say, it’s the challenges like altitude sickness, changing weather, and the hard climbs that leave the biggest impact. These tough moments help you grow stronger and more determined.

This trek is not just about the beautiful scenery or physical challenges—it’s also about connecting with the local culture. You’ll meet kind locals, learn about ancient traditions, and enjoy delicious food that warms you up in the cold mountain air. The friendships you make with other trekkers, guides, and locals make the journey even more special, turning it into a shared adventure full of memories.

Embracing the Manaslu Experience

As you’ve read from the stories and advice, the Manaslu Circuit is a one-of-a-kind experience. It’s not for people who want to follow the crowds—it’s for those who want peace, true adventure, and a deep connection to nature and culture. Every moment, whether happy or difficult, becomes a memory worth keeping.

If you’re thinking about trekking the Manaslu Circuit, here’s what you should know: it will challenge you, push you out of your comfort zone, and present unexpected problems. But it will also change you. The mountains teach you patience, strength, and humility. So, pack your gear, put on your boots, and get ready for a journey that’s not just about exploring the Himalayas—but also about discovering yourself.

And if you’ve already completed the trek, I invite you to share your story. What were your favorite moments? How did this journey affect you? Let’s keep talking because your story might inspire someone else to start their own adventure around Manaslu.

Embrace the journey, and let the Manaslu Circuit surprise you—just like it has for many others.
