The Manaslu Circuit Trek features an off-the-beaten-path route around Mount Manaslu (8,163m), Nepal's eighth highest peak. You begin at Machhakhola (870m) and descend to Besisahar via Dharapani, traveling around 180 kilometers as total distance. Along the way, you pass through remote villages, dense forest, and age-old monasteries, giving you a rustic Himalayan atmosphere. Next, you pass through the rugged Larke La Pass at a height of 5,106 meters, which is the highest point of the trek and also one of the highest mountain passes of the world.
