🌄 Long Package Description

The Manaslu Circuit Trek via Larke Pass – 17 Days is one of Nepal’s most rewarding and adventurous trekking routes. Located in a restricted area near the Tibetan border, this trek offers a rich mix of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and high mountain adventure without the crowds of more commercial trails.

Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Soti Khola, following the Budhi Gandaki River. The trail gradually ascends through deep gorges, waterfalls, terraced fields, and traditional villages inhabited by Gurung and Tibetan-influenced communities.

As you move higher, the landscape changes dramatically — lush forests give way to alpine terrain and wide mountain valleys. You’ll explore the beautiful village of Samagaon, visit Pungyen Gompa, and enjoy breathtaking views of Manaslu, Himalchuli, Ngadi Chuli, and other towering peaks.

The highlight of the trek is crossing the challenging Larke Pass (5,160m), which rewards you with stunning panoramic views of snow-covered Himalayan giants. After the pass, the trail descends into the greener valleys of the Annapurna region, ending with a drive back to Kathmandu.

This trek is perfect for experienced trekkers looking for a remote, culturally rich, and physically rewarding Himalayan adventure.
