Manaslu Circuit Trekking - 17 Days

One of the best experiences of my life and, without a doubt, thanks to Annapurna Foothills Treks. Entering protected areas, discovering landscapes, mountains, caves, forests, and glaciers, crossing through and interacting in villages, with their people, families. With their culture, traditions, their schools, and Buddhist monasteries on the Manaslu & Tsum Valley circuit. The weather conditions and/or the altitude are tough at times. With the knowledge of the entire Team, the Guide/Sherpa, and the help of the porter, you manage to overcome the challenge and keep going to finish the route well and happy. Being friendly with everyone at the different Lodges where we ate and/or slept meant that we were also treated with great kindness at all of them. Selection of the best Lodges and with good food. Two years ago, I already trusted the team of professionals at Annapurna Treks. They made it easy for us to adapt the Everest Base Camp circuit because we had more days available and wanted to see more valleys, and we decided based on their recommendations for the time of year we chose (November and December). The good experience made us decide to repeat with the Manaslu circuit & Tsum Valley. We made the most of the extra days in Kathmandu and its surroundings with the guide and driver logistics as well. And now, looking forward to returning soon and seeing the team again and discovering a new trekking route with your organization. We will let ourselves be advised again! Thank you very much!!!

This was my first time trekking in Nepal and I had no clue what to expect. But with Apsara as my guide, I felt totally safe and comfortable the whole time. She really gets first-timers like me, so I was fine walking, hiking, and trekking through any weather, uphill, downhill, and even those crazy suspension bridges 😅 The tea houses were great too. The meals, rooms, toilets, everything basic I needed was clean and available, so I felt comfortable during the whole stay. Big thanks to our porter (Tjitra) too for helping me along the way. I’d definitely recommend your service to any friends who want to trek in Nepal. And I’m already thinking about booking another trek package. I’ve totally fallen in love with the mountains here. This trip will be a memory I’ll never forget. And also I want to thank to Ghima and his wife who help me preparing the trip and apparels during my trek and also their hospitality during our stay in Nepal.

This is my third trip to Nepal with Annapurna Foothills. This time I chose the Manaslu Circuit Trekking package. I went with my friend Winda. For Winda, this was her first experience trekking in Nepal. So it was natural that she was a little anxious, even though she was more excited. We were very lucky and grateful because Ngima gave us a female guide, Apsara. Apsara worked very well, she was very disciplined but understood both of our limitations. So we both really enjoyed this trip. Manaslu Circuit is indeed as beautiful as described by people who have been through this track. The path is clean, the environment is still very natural, except at the beginning because it is under construction. The tea house is also pleasant. The price offered is also reasonable. And Cithra who carried our daily luggage was also very polite and did a good job. In the end, he became our photographer 😂. Thank you Annapurna Foothills, Ngima for giving us a pleasant experience.

My partner and I did the Manaslu trek in October 2025. We had Jungmu as our amazing guide and were greeted by both Jangmu and Annapurna base camps owner Nima at our hotel to go over the plan and details before the trip. Both l Jangmu and Nima are incredibly kind and informative and Jangmu was an unbelievably good guide. I couldn’t recommend the company for the team enough. Thanks a million and see you again soon. The trek itself was stunning. We had difficult weather about halfway through the trek but Jangmu managed this amazingly and we still managed to cross Larke pass safely.

I can't speak highly enough of Ngima and Jangbu for making such a memorable trip so seamless. From the warm welcome at the airport from Ngima to Jangu going above and beyond when I got sick , it really was an incredible trip. You made two old high school friends incredibly happy and can't wait to come back for another trip

What can I say....this trek is a magnificent experience. A guide and a sherpa who took great care of us. Beautiful encounters, sumptuous and grandiose landscapes that make us feel very small. everything to have an excellent stay. We will return to Nepal with great pleasure and without hesitation with Annapurna Foothills

Revisited the Manaslu Circuit after 5 years: this time with my son, his first time in Nepal. It was quite an experience for him as there had been landslides following several days of rain the week before. This meant diversions and uncertainty about being able to go over the pass because it was closed for several days due to heavy snow. Our guide, Dawa, was wonderful and kept us informed with the changing circumstances and we successfully crossed the Larke La pass which was covered in snow and ice. It was tricky but we made it due to the experience, expertise and care of our guide. This was my second trek with Annapurna Foothills. After a short break in the lakeside town of Pokhara, I set off with my wife on a trek in the remote western area of Nepal to the revered Rara Lake, again with Annapurna Foothills. This in some respects was a pioneering trek of 8 days - again our guide’s experience proved invaluable in this most unusual, exciting and successful trek. Can’t recommend highly enough the thoroughness in the planning and care this company and staff afforded us. Throughout both treks the management kept in contact with our guide. My wife and I have trekked many times in Nepal over 20 years and our last expeditions with Annapurna Foothills have been the best. We are already planning another trek with them which speaks for itself.
