The Manaslu is the eighth highest mountain in the globe at 8,263m/26,781ft above the sea level. This Manaslu peak is also called Kutang, it is in the Mansiri Himal, west central part of Nepal. The real meaning of the Manaslu peak is “Mountain of the spirit” which derived from Sanskrit word. Mountain Manaslu was first climbed by Toshio Imanishi and gelzen Norbu from Japanese expedition member in 1956. Manaslu Circuit trekking is tea-house trek. The Manaslu trek has all the elements of other treks in Nepal including protected wildlife, raging rivers, rhododrenden forest and wild flowers, precarious bridges, incredible mountain scenery and both Hindu and Buddhist culture. The Manaslu region is one of the most popular trekking regions in Nepal. The Region offers a verity of trekking options. In terms of difficulty, it is somewhat comparable with Everest Base Camp Trek or Annapurna Circuit trek because of highlight is undoubtedly the incredible views of Manaslu. The trekking trail follows an ancient salt trading route along the Bushi Gandaki River.

The Trek used to require camping as there is too fewer tea-house along the trail. Also, there is no lodge below Larkya La pass (5,135m) requiring an enforced night of camping. But these days travelers are increasing and small lodges in the major place are being developed. This trek can be done either staying at camping or lodges without camping in this popular trekking area. And that the trek lies in restricted area status. That means, it requires a special permit (i. e Manaslu Conservation Area Project (MCAP) permit and Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) permit. That the group should have minimum two members and that a registered trekking guide accompanies the group. So, due to such a reason the trekkers in this region are fewer than other visiting Annapurna, Everest and Langtang region. The agency is necessary for arranging the permit, as an individual tourist is not allowed to do that. You need to arrange this trek through a registered trekking agency.

The people are mostly found in Manaslu region from Gurung and Sherpa culture. The circuit around Manaslu Mountain takes 19 days to complete. The trek is generally starts at Arughat which is 05-06 hrs drive from Kathmandu by private or tourist bus. Manaslu circuit Trek map will help to understand the location mentioned in the itinerary. Finally, from the Besisahar trek will end and returned to Kathmandu. The Manaslu Circuit trek cost depends on many factors, including the group size, the numbers of guide you request for, category of hotel accommodation you choose. The trekking routes can be modified as per personal requirements. For more update get in touch with Satori experts.
