Description
Manaslu circuit trek is a great opportunity for trekkers who want to avoid too much crowd and disturbances. Manaslu, unlike the much-crowded Everest and Annapurna trails, is hidden deep inside the Gorkha district of Nepal. It is visited by a very low number of local and international trekkers.
This is because the trek is very challenging and there are fewer shops/trekking facilities on the way. However, the trek is also not so remote so that we need to carry our tents and a lot of food with us. The teahouses on the circuit provide cozy accommodation.
Manaslu was only opened to trekkers in 1992. Even since the opening, only a few people have actually completed the circuit trek. With all of your safety/trekking needs covered by us, embarking on this trip is one experience you will never forge

An Unforgettable Manaslu Circuit Trek
The 16day Manaslu Circuit Trek was an incredible experience from start to finish. The changing landscapes, peaceful villages, suspension bridges, and breathtaking mountain views made every day special. Crossing Larke Pass was challenging, but the feeling of reaching the top was unforgettable. Everything was organized exactly as promised, and I never had to worry about anything during the trek. A special thanks to Shishir from Ambition Himalaya, who answered all my questions before the trip and made sure everything was perfectly arranged. The guide was friendly, professional, and always supportive. This was a truly memorable adventure, and I would happily recommend Ambition Himalaya to anyone planning the Manaslu Circuit Trek in Nepal.

Manaslu Circuit Trek
I spent around 2 months in Nepal (May–June) and completed the 16 days Manaslu Circuit Trek during this time, and I’m still staying here for 15 more days. The trek felt like real mountain life, walking daily through rivers, forests, suspension bridges, and remote villages where everything is very simple and slow. Tea houses were basic but warm after long tiring hikes, and locals were always kind and welcoming. The guide was very friendly and supportive throughout the journey, which made the whole experience easier and more enjoyable. Special thanks to Shishir, owner of Ambition Himalaya, for arranging everything so smoothly. The hardest part was Larke La Pass with cold wind and altitude, but the views were unforgettable. No luxury, just raw Himalayas, silence, and a real experience that stays in mind.

Immerse in the Nepalese Shambhala.
Travelling in Nepal with Shishir from Ambition Himalaya to enjoy and learn about their culture is a luxury and a privilege. It’s the third year in a row that we go to November to see the snowy Himalayas and we plan to come back in the next year 2026 with it too.

Manaslu Trek
Excellent experience! Communication with Shishir, the owner, was smooth and quick. The trek was great value for money. We were accompanied by Ghaman (guide) and Ghagam (porter). They were both professional and friendly, taking care of us throughout the entire trip. Highly recommended!

Manaslu trekking
We had a great time with the owner of the agency and especially with the guide (Lok ) and the porters. We start carried out the 12-day tour. Some of us have encountered difficulties due to altitude and food but Lok and the porters have supported us even in difficult times. Agency recommended!

Mind-blowing experience!
Our small group of 3 booked our 2-week Manaslu Circuit Trek with Ambition Himalaya Treks & Expeditions. We sorted our own flights, and everything else was brilliantly handled by Shishir (owner of Ambition Himalaya Treks & Expeditions), from pre and post-trek accommodation in Kathmandu, to our amazing guide, Purna, our fantastic and competent driver, Ambar, who delivered us safely to our starting point in Matcha Khola and collected us in Bahundada to return to Kathmandu, leaving this tremendous Himalayan wonderland behind (boo hoo!!), and everything else in between.
Of our party of 3 (all mid-to-late 40-somethings), one is a non-English speaker and a Spanish-speaking guide was requested. Purna, in addition to his friendly and personable manner, has an excellent level of Spanish and was a perfect match for us. We had such a great time in Purna’s company. He knows and loves the mountains which he led us through expertly, gave us space when we needed it and shared as much as he possibly could along the way about his country, the history, the people and customs. We shared many, MANY laughs, even at the hardest moments of the trek. Thank you, Purna, for your companionship throughout this most fulfilling adventure!
The accommmodations were all excellent. Zero complaints there. And we appreciated the flexibility when we chose to push forward to the next stop, take an unplanned detour to a temple, or simply go off the beaten track on occasion. Zero complaints either about the food – we ate exceptionally well from start to finish, and relished in the down-time with good home cooking for breakfasts, lunches and dinners.
We would wholeheartedly book again with Shishir (worth noting that he personally met with us on our arrival day in Kathmandu, and we shared a lovely dinner with him at the end!). We also booked Purna for a guided city tour of Kathmandu for our last day which was most enjoyable. The whole experience was, in a word, incredible. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. But there is a lot more of Nepal to experience, and our next adventure with Himalaya Treks & Expeditions will undoubtedly put another tick on our bucket list!! ¡¡¡GRACIAS AMIGOS!!!

An experience for a lifetime.
A spectacular trekkin in every sense!!! The organization by Ámbition Himalaya Trekk has been impeccable, its manager Shishir is an attentive, professional and above all very honest person, our guide Purna is charming, happy, cheerful, a very good and professional person, it is impossible to know him and not love him. Plus, they both speak Spanish very well! Couldn't be better!
Super tight prices, although I would be willing to pay more to repeat with them, in fact with Shishir's advice we are already studying the Trekk for next year 2025.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY FOR YOUR TREKKINS THROUGH NEPAL.
All the best! See you at the mountains!

12 days Manaslu trekking
We did 12 days Manaslu trekking with Ambition Himalaya. There is no words for defining such experience, but the most accurate are unforgettable, unbelievable and unmissable. Rajendra is a very kind, helpful and dynamic person, we could not have a better guide. He always gave us his best. Also Shishir is very professional, kind and his organisation are the best option for enjoying Nepal. Absolutely recommendable if you want to visit Nepal.
