What's this trip about?

    Trekking Manaslu Circuit is an original experience of discovering the unknown from the known. What is more is we hike trails with fewer trekkers in a far flung region that is virtually untouched; giving us a sense of true Himalayan wilderness. The Manaslu region began welcoming visitors in 1991, and since then this area is now become highly popular among nature lovers on a global scale. In addition to this, today Manaslu region is the best option to its neighbor Annapurna Circuit; offering a range of rich biodiversity, stunning scenery, amazing mountain views and heartwarming trails.
