Manaslu, Nepal
Manaslu Trekking provides an array of trekking routes, with the Manaslu Circuit Trek being particularly renowned and celebrated as the premier option. This popular expedition commences at Soti Khola and concludes its journey in Besishahar.
The Manaslu Circuit Trek stands out as one of the most extraordinary expeditions within the majestic Himalayan region. This challenging yet rewarding journey begins with an arrival at Kathmandu's elevation of 1,320 meters, followed by a comfortable transfer to a local accommodation.
Following this initial stage, travelers embark upon their trek preparation through the picturesque surroundings of Kathmandu. A comprehensive itinerary of optional sightseeing tours awaits them during their stay here, providing ample opportunities for exploration and cultural immersion.
The next leg of the expedition takes place on Day 3, when participants traverse approximately 166 kilometers over 07-08 hours. Their route leads them through Machha Khola, which marks the eastern boundary of the Ganesh Himal range. The trek continues northward along the serene Marshyangdi River, traversing its numerous tributaries before reaching the verdant Annapurna mountain range.
From there, the trail ascends towards the lush valleys of the Gorkha district. This ascent culminates in the beautiful town of Gorkha, offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. From here, the trek proceeds across gentle terrains, eventually leading to the scenic villages of Philim and Lo-Gaon. These villages provide the perfect setting for an exhilarating hike up to the breathtaking summit of Sama-Gaon, located at 11,480 feet above sea level.
After resting and acclimatizing in Sama-Gaon, the journey progresses into the higher altitudes. On Day 9, hikers reach the peak of Samdo, standing at 3,875 meters above sea level. Following this milestone, they continue onward to Dharmasala, known for its stunning views of the surrounding peaks.
Continuing their ascent, on Day 10, adventurers reach the summit of Bhimthang, situated at 3,590 meters above sea level. This elevated point offers magnificent vistas of the entire circuit, including the awe-inspiring Gho pass, at 2,535 meters above sea level.
On the final stretch, the trek leads to Dharapani village, nestled amidst rolling hills. From here, participants embark on a winding road back down to Bhesishar, a charming settlement situated at 760 meters above sea level. Finally, the journey concludes with a drive back to Kathmandu, ending the memorable adventure after 14 days.
This remarkable trek not only rewards those who undertake it with unparalleled natural beauty but also provides an unforgettable experience steeped in culture and history.
