MANASLU CIRCUIT TREKKING
LIVE FOR THE PRESENT trail
For the trekkers looking for less crowded trails in Nepal, Thorang La Pass is one of the best in the world. The trail was opened for hikers from around the world just in 1992, but gained popularity quickly, thanks to the diversity it offers. As it starts from the low land (730meters: Soti Khola) and reaches one of the highest pass treks in the world (5146 meters: Lharkya La Pass), the trail traverses through a variety of landscapes that will make a place in your mind for your lifetime. It gets difficult at times, mostly through the pass as it is one of the longest passes in the world. But, we are sure that all those hard work will pay off to the fullest.
We will walk through the bank of the river for the first few days. The sound of the river gets through your ear all the time for more than 3 days. And, the picturesque mountains (Nepalese hills) through the trail will surely keep a smile on your face. You will be in the place where you would just forget everything behind and just live the moment, cherish every second of your life. If you are looking for this, Manaslu Circuit will definitely be on your radar. In addition to the view of Manaslu Himalaya (8163 meters – 8th highest in the world), this trail offers you a majestic view of big grasslands underneath those Himalayas with a plethora of beautiful horses grazing all over. Places like Samagaun, Samdo, and Bhimthan look just like the places described in the fairytales.
