This isn't just a trek — it's a rare journey into one of Nepal’s last untouched wilderness areas. We offers more than just mountain views; it’s an immersive experience deep into Sherpa and Rai culture, pristine valleys, and the raw power of the Himalayas. We focus on authentic adventure, eco-conscious travel, and real human connection — no crowds, no fluff, just the real Himalayas. Guides are locals who know the trails by heart, not just GPS. We handcraft each itinerary to balance comfort with challenge, nature with culture. While others follow the usual routes, we take you where few dare to go — closer to nature, deeper into tradition, and higher into the mountains. You don’t just trek. You experience. This is what makes our trek unforgettable.

Manaslu Tour
We went around the Manaslu with Dil. It was a wonderful experience. The landscapes are exceptional, the inhabitants very welcoming. Dil shared his experience and was an outstanding guide. I recommend this trek!

Awesome experience
The trek was an amazing experience. We became friends with our enthousiastic guide during the Manaslu trek we did, he brieved us wel in advance, took care of everything and it was all well arranged during our stay in the mountains. Besides our experience in the mountains, we had close contact in Kathmandu so we could ask them everyting needed for our other activities/transfers/taxis/flight/hotel, etc. This made our trip really comfortable and took a lot of stres away. I enjoyed it very much and would absolutely recommend Bodhi Tree tours to everyone who wants to visit Nepal in some way!

A fantastic Manaslu Trekking. Arranged by a very nice, local, intelligent man
With 4 friends we did the Manaslu trekking of 2 weeks. In the days before and after we stayed at the Bodi Tree Hotel. Both parts were really great! The owner of the company (which is up and coming) is very friendly, can arrange everything for you and is nice to chat with about anything. The owner has also been a guide himself. His fellow student (from the training to become a guide) was our guide. It was noticeable that they also get along very well. The guide was very skilled, had humor, has a very local existence and was just a very nice guy. All four of us are very pleased with the entire experience. This makes this review and a nice amount of tip the least we could do. Thanks again Bodi Tree Hotel!

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Manaslu Circuit Trek Untouched Beauty of Nepal: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Manaslu Circuit Trek Untouched Beauty of Nepal cost?
+
Prices start at $1,149 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 Untouched Beauty of Nepal take?
+
Plan for about 324.2 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 Untouched Beauty of Nepal worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Untouched Beauty of Nepal?
+
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 Untouched Beauty of Nepal suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 324.2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Manaslu Circuit Trek Untouched Beauty of Nepal?
+
Around 1 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 324.2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Manaslu Circuit Trek Untouched Beauty of Nepal 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, Classic Everest Base Camp Trek. 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.

Not included: Bottled water; Tea and coffee; Excess Baggage; and Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
