Manaslu Circuit Days 13 Trip Grade Strenuous Maximum Altitude Larkya La Pass (5,106 m) Starts Kathmandu Ends Kathmandu Best Time Autumn (Late September – Mid November) Spring (Late March – Early May): Country Nepal Activity Trekking Trip Price: US $ 1,799 per person Click here Manaslu Circuit (Larke Pass) Trek is ideal for experienced trekkers seeking a physically demanding journey along some of the most rugged trails in Nepal’s Himalayas. Towering at 8,163 m, Mount Manaslu sits just east of the Annapurna region and borders Tibet to the north. Opened to foreign visitors only after Nepal’s transition to democracy in 1992, this route offers breathtaking scenery and a rich cultural experience. You’ll traverse remote valleys that reveal the traditional lifestyles of communities whose ancestors migrated from Tibet—evident in their language, clothing, and customs. Because we are based in the Manaslu region, Adventure Pilgrims Trekking Pvt. Ltd. is uniquely positioned, as a government‐registered operator, to secure the necessary Restricted Area Permit and provide expert local knowledge. Although the trail can be challenging and often features difficult ascents, every effort is rewarded by sweeping mountain panoramas and encounters with hospitable villagers. A highlight is crossing Larke La, one of the most dramatic high passes in the Himalayas. This trek still feels untouched by mass tourism, so you will explore truly “virgin” territory that very few others dare to visit. If you’d like to adjust the duration, group size, or season, just let us know, and we’ll design a detailed, customized itinerary to suit your needs. Highlights Itinerary Cost Details High-Altitude Pass: Conquer Larkya La (5,106 m) with 360° Himalayan panoramas. Cultural Diversity: Pass through Gurung, Magar, Sherpa, and Tibetan-influenced villages—each with distinct monasteries and traditions. Remote Wilderness: Entire trek lies within the Manaslu Conservation Area; far fewer trekkers than Annapurna or Everest. Scenic Diversity: From subtropical riverbanks to alpine meadows, glacial moraines, and thick rhododendron forests. Tsum Valley Option: (2–3 extra days) Accessible from Deng, offering ancient gompas, mani walls, and a unique Buddhist culture. Day 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Day 1: Kathmandu → Arughat Bazaar → Soti Khola → Machha Khola (930 m)You depart Kathmandu early, boarding a jeep or tourist bus for a seven- to eight-hour drive west along winding mountain roads through Dhading and Gorkha districts, finally reaching Arughat Bazaar (570 m) by late morning or early afternoon. From Arughat, the vehicle continues downriver to Soti Khola (1,000 m), where you register your permits and step onto the trail. The afternoon’s gentle walk follows the Budhi Gandaki River through rice terraces and small villages, ending at Machha Khola (930 m). Here, basic teahouses line the riverbank and offer your first night’s lodge before the trek proper begins. Day 2: Machha Khola (930 m) → Jagat (1,410 m)On Day 2, you leave Machha Khola after breakfast and steadily climb upstream for roughly six to seven hours. The trail ascends through lush subtropical forests and past cascading waterfalls, crossing wooden suspension bridges over the Budhi Gandaki several times. Villages such as Kamjung and Tatopani appear en route, giving glimpses of local Gurung and Magar lifestyles. You finally reach Jagat (1,410 m) by mid-afternoon, where you clear the Manaslu Conservation Area checkpoint and spend the night in a simple teahouse overlooking the gorge. Day 3: Jagat (1,410 m) → Deng (1,700 m)After an early breakfast, you trek for six to seven hours on Day 3 along an ascending path carved into the Budhi Gandaki gorge. The trail passes through dense bamboo groves and rhododendron bushes, with intermittent landslide zones requiring caution. Midway, you cross a series of suspension bridges before arriving at the small settlement of Deng (1,700 m). This village sits on a narrow ledge above the river and offers your first high-valley vistas. You spend the night in Deng’s modest lodges, surrounded by towering pine forests and the distant silhouette of Manaslu. Day 4: Deng (1,700 m) → Namrung (2,630 m)On Day 4, you continue ascending for about five to six hours through increasingly alpine terrain. The trail winds past seasonal farming terraces, rhododendron thickets, and glacial streams. As you climb toward Namrung, you may glimpse the first clear views of Manaslu’s southern face. Namrung (2,630 m) perches on a plateau overlooking the Budhi Gandaki gorge, with pine and bamboo forests framing the village. In the late afternoon, you can stroll to a viewpoint above Namrung to watch the sun set behind snow-capped peaks, then rest in a locally run teahouse. Day 5: Namrung (2,630 m) → Samagaon (3,520 m)You leave Namrung after breakfast on Day 5 and trek for about five hours through mixed forest and yak pastures. The path steadily climbs past Shyala and Lho, where a short side trip to Lho Monastery is possible. Arriving in Samagaon (3,520 m) by early afternoon, you check into a stone-walled teahouse in this traditional Gurung-style village. Late in the day, you may visit the 450-year-old Lho Monastery, explore mani walls, and take in expansive views of Manaslu Glacier across the valley. Day 6: Acclimatization at Samagaon (3,520 m)Day 6 is reserved for acclimatization at Samagaon. You rise late and spend the morning exploring the village’s mani walls and nunnery. After lunch, you undertake a side hike to Pungyen Gompa (4,100 m), which takes three to four hours round-trip and offers closer views of the Manaslu Glacier. Alternatively, if conditions permit, you can push higher toward the Manaslu Base Camp viewpoint (approx. 4,800 m) for panoramic vistas of surrounding summits. In the evening, you return to Samagaon, ensuring your body adjusts to the altitude. Day 7: Samagaon (3,520 m) → Samdo (3,860 m)On Day 7, you walk only three to four hours to allow further acclimatization. The trail climbs gradually past yak herders’ summer grazing fields and high-altitude meadows. By midday, you arrive at Samdo (3,860 m), the last Nepali village before the Tibetan border.

Mardi Himal Trek Days 6 Trip Grade Moderate Maximum Altitude 4,500 m (Mardi Himal Base Camp viewpoint) Starts Pokhara (820 m) → drive to Kande (1,770 m) Ends Dhampus (1,650 m) → drive back to Pokhara (820 m) Best Time Autumn (Late September–Mid November) Spring (Late March–Early May Country Nepal Activity Trekking Trip Price: US $ 1,190 per person Click here The Mardi Himal Trek is a six-day journey through the Annapurna foothills that begins and ends near Pokhara, offering trekkers a high-mountain experience without the crowds of its more famous neighbors. Starting from the terraced valley of Kande, you climb through oak and rhododendron forests to reach a series of camps—Forest Camp, Low Camp, and High Camp—each progressively higher and more remote. The highlight of the trek is the early-morning ascent from High Camp to the Mardi Himal Base Camp viewpoint at approximately 4,500 meters, where you are rewarded with an unobstructed panorama of the Annapurna South massif (7,219 m), Machhapuchhre (6,993 m), Hiunchuli (6,441 m), and the snowy ridges of Mardi Himal (5,587 m) itself. After soaking in these vistas, you retrace your steps back through lush forests and inviting Gurung villages before returning to Pokhara. This relatively short route—just under a week from start to finish—combines steep alpine ascents with cultural encounters, making it an ideal moderate-difficulty trek for those who want high-altitude scenery on a tighter schedule. Difficulty and Altitude ProfileMardi Himal is graded as a moderate trek: although the elevations involved are significant, there are no technical rock scrambles or exposed ridgelines that require specialized mountaineering skills. You begin at roughly 1,770 m (Kande) and reach a maximum of around 4,500 m at the Base Camp viewpoint—an overall altitude gain of 2,730 m. The most strenuous sections occur on Days 2 and 4, when you ascend from Forest Camp (2,500 m) to Low Camp (3,050 m) in about five hours, and then from Low Camp to High Camp (3,550 m). On Day 4, you leave High Camp well before dawn to climb an additional 950 m up to the Base Camp viewpoint, often over rocky, uneven terrain and loose scree. Because of this rapid elevation gain, a night at Low Camp followed by rest and acclimatization in High Camp is crucial. Weather can be unpredictable above 3,000 m: early-morning frost, afternoon clouds, or light snow are all possible even in the shoulder seasons. Overall, you should be comfortable walking six hours per day on uneven trails, with occasional steep pitches and altitude thinning the air above 3,500 m. Accommodation and FacilitiesThroughout the trek, accommodation is in locally operated teahouses—simple lodges made of stone and wood with corrugated-iron roofs. At Forest Camp (2,500 m) and Low Camp (3,050 m), facilities include basic dormitory-style rooms, communal dining areas heated by small wood-stoves, and eastern-style squat toilets. By the time you reach High Camp (3,550 m), lodges become more rudimentary: rooms are smaller, heating may be limited to one or two small stoves, and toilets often consist of pit latrines a short walk away from the main building. Seasonal menus rely heavily on dhal bhat (lentil-rice), noodle soups, and Tibetan dishes such as thenthuk; you can expect to pay premium prices (up to 800–1,000 NPR) for meals at High Camp due to the cost of transporting supplies. Hot showers are unavailable above Low Camp, and potable water must either be boiled or treated with purification tablets. Itinerary planners build two nights at High Camp to allow for acclimatization, and a final night at Forest Camp when descending, so that you move at a comfortable pace rather than rushing. Highlights Itinerary Cost Details Base Camp Viewpoint (4,500 m): Dawn summit on Day 4 delivers unobstructed vistas of Annapurna I (8,091 m), Annapurna South (7,219 m), Machhapuchhre (6,993 m), and Hiunchuli (6,441 m). The sunrise light plays off jagged ridges in a dramatic panorama. Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre: Visible from Australian Camp (1,930 m) and Forest Camp. On clear mornings, Machhapuchhre casts its shadow onto adjacent ridges. Dense Rhododendron & Fern Forests: From Kande up to Forest Camp, the trail winds under vibrant spring blooms and moss‐covered oaks. Gurung Villages: Dhampus (1,650 m) and Landruk (1,565 m) showcase traditional stone houses, terraced fields, and prayer flags—an immersive glimpse into local mountain life. Alpine Meadows: Between Low Camp and High Camp, you cross open grassy slopes where yaks graze in summer, sprinkled with wildflowers in late spring. Day 1 2 3 4 5 6 Day 1: Pokhara (820 m) → Kande (1,770 m) → Australian Camp (1,930 m) → Forest Camp (2,500 m)You depart Pokhara early in the morning by jeep or taxi and drive 20 km uphill to Kande (1,770 m). From Kande, a well-marked stone-and-dirt trail climbs gently through terraced fields and pine forests for about two hours until you reach Australian Camp (1,930 m), where you pause for tea and panoramic views of the Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre. Continuing another two hours on a narrow forest path—winding through rhododendron and oak trees—you arrive at Forest Camp (2,500 m) by mid-afternoon. Here, you stay in a basic teahouse nestled under dense oak canopy, with no further uphill sections to help you acclimatize. Day 2: Forest Camp (2,500 m) → Low Camp (3,050 m)On Day 2, after breakfast, you follow a steep, zigzagging path that climbs through moss-covered rhododendron groves and towering firs. The ascent takes roughly five hours. Along this trail, intermittent viewpoints offer glimpses of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Machhapuchhre behind dense forest. You arrive at Low Camp (3,050 m) in early afternoon, where small stone-and-wood teahouses provide simple meals. From Low Camp’s small clearing, you can see the shadow of Machhapuchhre and enjoy cooler temperatures at this higher elevation. Day 3: Low Camp (3,050 m) → High Camp (3,550 m)Day 3 begins with a shorter uphill of approximately two to three hours. The trail rises out of the rhododendron forest and into sparse alpine scrub, and the trees give way to more open views. By late
