Manaslu Circuit Trek is the king of modern Trek. The rural element of the trek is still intact in the region. It is still pristine and pure all the way from Macchakhola to Dharapani. The region’s culture and heritage is on full display as the visitors venture in the upper regions of Samagaun, Samdo and the Tsum Valley Area. Some of the oldest rituals and Buddhist practices are intact. Monasteries are a wonder to the eyes and Buddhist chanting is a musical wonder. This trek will clean and heal your spirit as you follow the Budi Gandaki River Valley, one of the Tributaries of the Ganges.
Upon arrival at Kathmandu airport, you will be welcomed by our representative and transferred to your hotel. You will receive a briefing of the trip after refreshing. You can visit a temple or historical site depending on your time of arrival.
