The Manaslu region offers trekkers raw wilderness, rich history, and diverse cultures. Named after the majestic Mount Manaslu (8,163 meters), the eighth-highest peak in the world, this region only opened its trails to trekkers in 1991, making it a relatively recent addition to Nepal’s trekking scene. It's late start, however, preserved its authenticity and exclusivity, allowing adventurers to experience an unspoiled slice of the Himalayas.
The region’s history is deeply rooted in ancient Tibetan culture, as the trails were once ancient trading routes connecting Nepal and Tibet. Today, the Manaslu Region Trek has emerged as one of the most sought-after trekking experiences in Nepal. The route of this region circles Mount Manaslu, offering awe-inspiring views of towering peaks, glacial rivers, and lush forests. It also includes the thrilling crossing of the Larkya La Pass (5,160 meters), a highlight for many adventurers.
Trekkers can expect to pass through remote villages where the warm hospitality of the Gurung and Tibetan communities shines. The Manaslu region promises not only stunning scenery but also a deeper connection to Nepal’s heritage.
