Manaslu Annapurna Circuit Trek Overview

A recently created trekking route, the Manaslu Annapurna Circuit Trek, combines two of Nepal's most well-known trekking destinations, the Manaslu and Annapurna regions. Trekking over the Manaslu-Annapurna circuit is a thrilling combination of western Nepal's trekking routes and a portion of the major Himalayan paths. In the same way, as Annapurna Circuit Trekking is one of the top ten trekking destinations in the world, Manaslu Circuit Trekking is also a well-known trek in the Manaslu region. You will appreciate this trekking trip.

You will have a great experience on the Manaslu and Annapurna Circuit Trek, which will take you over the Larkya la Pass (5160m) and the Thorong La Pass (5416m). More than 30 gigantic mountains, including the eighth-highest mountain in the world, Manaslu (8163m), and the tenth-highest, Annapurna (8091m), will be seen from the trek. Throughout the walk, you will see the colorful cultural communities of the Tamang and Sherpa people, various beautiful green forests, the Deep George of Marshyangdi and Kaligandaki, amazing natural surroundings, and many more unusual landscapes.

Taking a regular bus from Kathmandu to Arughat and then to Machha Khola would be the first step in the Manaslu Annapurna Circuit Trek - 23 Days. Your primary hiking route will begin at Machha Khola and will pass through Khorlabesh, Dobhan, and Yaruphat before arriving in Jagat. You will depart for Deng the next day from Jagat. The walk to Deng village is quite rewarding, leading you through several suspension bridges and large waterfalls. From Deng to Namrung, you will continue your Manaslu Circuit Trek with Annapurna. The next morning, after spending the night in Namrung, you will begin your walk to Lho. The next day, you will go to Samagaun from Lho.

As you go from Samdo to Dharamsala, the thrill increases.

A couple of frozen lakes will be crossed as you begin your early morning hike over the Larkya Glacier moraine trail. One of the Himalayas' longest passes is Larkya La. Before reaching Bhimtang, you must traverse the Larkya La Pass and various yak farms. You will depart from Bhimtang and hike to Dharapani. You will go to Chame from Dharapani the next morning. You will reach Upper Pisang by following the Marsyangdi River and traveling via the charming towns of Talekhu, Bhratang, and Dhikur Pokhari. The next day, you will go to Manang to acclimate. Your track will lead you from Manang to Ledar through Ghusang and Yak Kharka.

    Manaslu Annapurna Circuit Trek Difficulty Level

    The Manaslu - Annapurna Circuit Trek is quite challenging. The strenuous level of difficulty of this journey is a result of the route's tremendous elevation. The area's highest pass, Thorung La, is situated along the hiking trail and rises to a height of 5416 meters. This part of the journey is so challenging that it is closed for most of the year due to the extreme cold and heavy snowfall. Additionally, when traveling, you always remain above 3000 meters. Some of the most challenging terrains, which are typically harsh, rocky, and steep, are traversed. Contrary to many other treks, this trek has an unalterable degree of difficulty.

You must have emergency helicopter rescue and medical expense coverage with your insurance if you want to go hiking or mountain climbing in the Himalayas.

    • Don't hurry when hiking to a high altitude. You ought to walk carefully and slowly.
    • Before hiking at an elevation of more than 3,000 meters, acclimate appropriately.

      Incredible Annapurna Manaslu circuit trek with Green Valley

      Just returned from an amazing hike across the Annapurna Manaslu circuit with Green Valley! Raj was excellent at making suggestions for schedules that included everything we wanted to accomplish, which is why we adored working with this organization.

      Extremely competent company that not only got us up at the airport but also arranged for our first few nights in Kathmandu to be spent in a lovely hotel right in the middle of Thamel. A pleasant surprise that we weren't expecting was that they also picked lovely teahouses along the trek circuit, several of which had individual cabins with associated facilities.

      We just had the best time ever, and the porters and guides were excellent! Strongly suggest Green Valley and will make use of them on walks and trips in the future.

      Best Manaslu Annapurna Circuit Trek Experience

      Green Valley Nepal Treks provided me with an amazing hiking experience! From the time of booking to the end, their crew surpassed all expectations. The proprietor of the agency, Arjun, was very accessible on WhatsApp and offered helpful advice.

      Our guide Krishna was amazing; he was humorous, considerate, and went above and beyond in inclement weather when it looked like we wouldn't be able to complete the walk. Instead, he stayed an extra day with us till the weather cleared up 🙂. And let's not overlook our porter Rajan's incredible assistance and upbeat vibes.

      It was an amazing adventure, especially when done with another group that was lead by Narendra and Ram. Select Green Valley Nepal Treks for an amazing hiking adventure!

    • According to your budget, available time, and degree of fitness, we are willing to modify this package.

Green Valley Nepal Treks has a track record of planning client-specific treks that meet their needs.

    • Of course not, you may only utilize in urban areas such as Pokhara and Kathmandu, not on the Trekking route. All you need while traveling outside of the city is cash, preferably in tiny denominations. Before you head to the highlands, kindly exchange your money for local Nepali rupees.

    • Hikers may get Wi-Fi at several guesthouses for a nominal fee. In lower hills, it could function properly, but in the mountains, the connection might not be reliable, making it difficult for hikers to use the internet anytime they need to.

    • You can drink water from a bottle, purified drinking water, or tap water. We advise you to purchase purified refill water from your tea house lodge. Depending on where you are, each refueling may only cost you a little fee. The price rises as you ascend in height.

    • There are no issues at all for vegetarians because lodges often provide vegetarian meals. Additionally, in order to prevent food poisoning, we constantly advise our clients to consume vegetarian meals. High-altitude meals that are not vegetarian are unsafe for the stomach.

    • For two trekkers carrying around 25 kg of baggage, Green Valley Nepal Treks will offer one porter (maximum 12 kg for each trekker). Porters are those employees that not only carry your bags but also uplift your spirits. They could put out extra effort to get you to your goal because of your generosity and devotion.

    • The greatest height one can reach while trekking is at Thorong La Pass (5416m), which presents a significant challenge for thrill seekers.

    • The free storage is offered by the hotel in Kathmandu. Thus, you may leave all of your belongings that are not necessary for the walk at your hotel or in our office.
