The Manaslu Region is one of Nepal's most spectacular and least crowded trekking destinations, encircling the world's eighth highest mountain, Manaslu (8,163 m). This restricted area offers a raw and authentic Himalayan experience through dramatic river gorges, high alpine passes, ancient Buddhist monasteries, and remote Tibetan-influenced villages that have changed little over centuries. The Manaslu circuit follows the Budhi Gandaki River valley in a sweeping loop around the mountain, passing through landscapes of extraordinary variety and beauty. For trekkers seeking the grandeur of the high Himalaya away from the busier trails, the Manaslu Region is one of Nepal's most rewarding and unforgettable destinations.
