Trek Manaslu Circuit, an epic walk centered around Mt. Manaslu, 8th highest mountain in the world looming at 8163m which is a good alternative to the classic Annapurna Circuit Trek (lately trekkers are looking for a good alternative to Annapurna circuit due to its charm being swallowed by the newly constructed bumpy dirt road). Due to the reason that Manaslu area is allowed for foreigners to trek only in 1991, the area is still untrampled and exclusively exciting as it only sees few trekkers annually. Still categorized under restricted trekking region, you walk many days close to Nepalese -Tibet border where the village life is much as it has been for hundreds of years. With extensive wilderness in the lower elevation and great mountain views in the higher this moderately strenuous trek takes you through geographically spectacular and culturally fascinating area with crossing of highest point ‘Larkya La Pass (5,213m)’ which is believed to be one of the most exciting pass through the Himalayas that provides superb view of Himal Himlung Himal (7,125m), Cheo Himal (6,820m), Kang Guru (6,981m) and Annapurna II (7,939m), and Manaslu (8163m).
