Mountain Culture Nature History The strenuous trek around 8156m Manaslu, the world’s eighth highest mountain, is geographically spectacular and culturally fascinating and was officially opened to tourists in 1991. Although the high pass in this region Larkya La ( 5100m) is not difficult to cross, the trek around Manaslu is harder than most other treks since at many places the walls of Buri Gandaki Valley are perpendicular due to which there are huge amount of wasted up and down climbs over the ridges or onto shelves to bypass cliffs. Moreover the trail is rough and steep and it often literally hangs on a bluff high above the river. So this trek is not suggested to those who have the slightest tendency towards acrophobia. Most of the trek around Manaslu is in a region of strong Tibetan influence as the people here are direct successors of Tibetan immigrants who settled here in early 1600s.

    Another great trek with ACH and Pasang

    Overall a great trekking trip. Everything was well-organized and we had an amazing time with our guide, Pasang and porter Zambuk. (This is actually our 2nd trip with Alpine Club Of Himalaya and with Pasang (we'd did EBC 3 Passes previously and wld recommend as well)

    Great experience again with Alpine Club Of Himalaya and guide Pasang Sherpa

    We came back again for the manaslu circuit, after having a great experience the previous time with ACH and Pasang Sherpa during our EBC 3 Passes trek. Sujan was very helpful in accommodating our pretrip requests and was flexible with the itinerary. You just need to ask and confirm ahead of time. We were also able to be flexible with the plan while on trek - Manaslu is a long trek after all - and that was where our guide Pasang helped a lot with. We decided to shift some rest days around to make it across the pass before the bad weather hit. The crampons that Pasang brought were lifesavers during the Larke Pass day due to the presence of ice/snow on the high pass and on the way down. Thanks again to ACH, guide Pasang Sherpa and our porter Zambuk for a successful completion of the trek.

    Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guest, Namaste and greetings from Alpine Club of Himalaya!!! Thank you for sharing about your experience as a member of our tour group. We are glad that you have enjoyed your holiday with our arrangements of the best itinerary to cater to your want to do list of activities and the places/regions you like to visit while in Nepal. We are truly delighted that we were given the opportunity to be of service to you and we look forward to your next visit to Nepal to provide you and your friends the best team put together for greater adventures in the walk of the Himalaya. Alpine Club beckons you, to greater adventures in the Himalayas….. Best Regards, Team Alpine Club of Himalaya

    Amazing Manaslu trekking

    We did the 13 day Manaslu circuit trekking and we enjoyed it a lot. Thanks to the organization by Alpine club Himalaya as well the amazing guide and porter Passang and Rossang. Before and during the trekking we received clear information so we knew what to expect. The agency is very involved before and during the trekking. Also, our safety was a high priority for both the agency as well the guide and porter. The trekking itself was amazing with beautiful views, lovely villages and basic tea houses for overnight stays. The personal touch at the end with receiving nice local souvenirs was much appreciated as well. We would highly recommend this agency if you’re looking for trekkings in Nepal.

    Amazingggg experience 😍✨

    My trip to Manaslu was wonderful. I spent 14 days in the paradise of Manaslu. Thanks to the team for the support and the luxury they provide in every experience. The translator spoke English very well, and I was able to understand everything perfectly. The places I visited were comfortable and the food was good. Thank you! Now I'm on my next adventure, Kailash. 😍😍✨✨

    Manaslu Circuit Trek- 19 DAYS: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.

    How much does Manaslu Circuit Trek- 19 DAYS cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,899 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Manaslu Circuit Trek- 19 DAYS take?

    +

    Plan for about 456 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.

    Is Manaslu Circuit Trek- 19 DAYS worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Manaslu Circuit Trek- 19 DAYS?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Manaslu Circuit Trek- 19 DAYS suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 456-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Manaslu Circuit Trek- 19 DAYS?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 456-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Manaslu Circuit Trek- 19 DAYS start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kathmandu Sightseeing | UNESCO World Heritage sites Private/Group, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek: Private Group & Discounte Price. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Kathmandu?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Manaslu Circuit Trek- 19 DAYS?

    +

    Included: Kathmandu city tour in private car/van; Breakfast; Down Jacket and Sleeping Bag that needs to be returned to office after trek completion; An experienced English speaking Trekking Guide and a Porter during trek. 2 Trekkers=1 Port; and Welcome and Farewell Meals and Breakfasts while in Kathmandu. Not included: Nepal entry visa fees; Bar bills, laundry and other expenses of personal nature; Travel insurance including evacuation and International Flight; and Lunch and dinners in Kathmandu except welcome and farewell meals. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Manaslu Circuit Trek- 19 DAYS include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 195 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Manaslu Circuit Trek- 19 DAYS offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Manaslu Circuit Trek- 19 DAYS?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Manaslu Circuit Trek- 19 DAYS wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Manaslu Circuit Trek- 19 DAYS if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Kathmandu. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
