Manaslu Circuit Trek with Tibet Border Overview

Manaslu is a remote region hence the pristine nature and the unexplored beauty of this region are mesmerizing. This is the least explored trek due to its remoteness and only in the 90s this trek region was opened for exploration. Slowly, the popularity of the trek in the Manaslu region is growing. It is the best choice for trekkers who prefer authentic natural beauty, peaceful trekking, and some cultural experiences. Manaslu Circuit Trek with the Tibet border is a challenging trek that takes trekkers to the maximum elevation of 5,106 m (Larkya La Pass) and Tibet border (5,100 m). However, this trek is completely worth it as it offers picturesque scenery and diverse landscapes. Solo trekking is not allowed as it is an off-beat trekking and requires a Manaslu restricted area permit along with ACAP and Manaslu Conservation Area to trek.

Manaslu Circuit Trek with the Tibet border journeys you through lowlands and low-altitude villages, high-altitude settlements, alpine pastures, and Tibetan landscapes. It takes you through banks of rivers and roaring fountains, in a Manaslu region with untouched nature and varying cultures and ethnicities. Our trek brings a deep experience of the high mountain region, sublime mountain sceneries, and varying flora and fauna. A different experience from that of popular Annapurna and Everest region treks. Find what is rural in Nepal in the true sense of the term. Named after Mt. Manaslu (8,163 m), the world’s 8th highest peak, the trek also has its spirited adventure sections. You won’t mistake it, especially at the time of crossing Larkya/Larke La Pass. The exploration day trip to Manaslu Base Camp (4800 m) and Pungen Gumba (4200 m) allures the travelers.

Manaslu Circuit Trek can be combined with Tsum Valley Trek. Besides this, in the Manaslu region, trekkers have numerous options such as the Manaslu Two Passes Trek, Manaslu Rupina La Pass Trek, and Tsum Valley Trek.

An incredible trek with Outdoor Himalayan

2024-10-17

Thanks to the team at Outdoor Himalayan for an amazing trek of the Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley. Our guide Bishwas Aryal and porter Ramhari Lamsal were a great support during the challenging 20 day adventure. Our guide Bishwas is a knowledgeable professional, always thinking 3 steps ahead on the route. It didn’t take too long to realize that a guide in the Himalaya is a coach as well as logistics manager, safety expert, physical and cultural geographer, and master dhumbal player. Apart from his amazing physical capacity, our porter Ramhari (Hari) Lamsal was one of the kindest and thoughtful people we met, in a nation of kind and thoughtful people. The memories of this trek will echo through the rest of my life. Thank you.

Hotel

Shortly after breakfast in the morning, you will meet your trekking team, including the trek guide, in our office. He will brief you about the trek.

Day 03 Drive from Kathmandu to Machha Khola

Elevation: Machha Khola (930 m) 9-10 hours’ drive.

A long bus journey (nearly 9-10 hours) will take you to Machha Khola, the point of departure for our trek. So we start from Kathmandu early in the morning at 7 o’clock. Admire the scenery, and pass through the settlements of Riden Gaun and Lapubesi. Reach Machha Khola and spend the night at the Local Teahouse.

(Optional: Private jeep is available with applicable extra cost.)

Teahouse B+L+D

Day 04 Trek to Jagat

Elevation: Jagat (1340 m) 6-hour trek. Elevation gain: 410 m.

The total duration of the trek is about 6 hours. We walk along river banks and villages. We also meet a natural hot spring named “Tatopani.” Then under the cool shade of trees reach Dovan, a confluence of two rivers. After we leave the Dovan, most of the day’s elevation gain follows, making a total change in the sceneries and surroundings as we move on and on. We spend our night in a local teahouse in Jagat.

Teahouse B+L+D

Day 05 Trek to Deng

Elevation: Deng (1860 m) 6-7 hours trek. Elevation gain: 520 m.

We gain a lot of elevation today in about 7 hour’s trek. We start to get enticing sceneries of mountains from different points along the trail, including that of Siringi Himal. As usual, we spend our night in a local teahouse.

Teahouse B+L+D

Day 06 Trek to Namrung

Elevation: Namrung (2630 m) 5-6 hours trek. Elevation gain: 770 m.

Settlements are very few and far between as the altitude increases. We move up in the direction of the Deng River. The influence of Tibetan Buddhist culture begins to feel itself from Ghap with Mani walls and chortens. We continue our walk towards Namrung, where we move inside the teahouse for our night stay.

Teahouse B+L+D

Day 07 Trek to Shyala

Elevation: Shyala (3520 m) 6-7 hours trek. Elevation gain: 890 m.

We meet more settlements today than yesterday. Cross the Budhi Gandaki River, and walk through settlements and terraced fields. Again cross another river Hinan and climb up to Sho. It is an excellent viewpoint, offering incredibly beautiful views of Manaslu, Manaslu North, and other peaks. We passed through a tiny village settlement of Lho to reach Shyala for our night’s stopover.

Teahouse B+L+D

Day 08 Trek to Sama Gaon

Elevation: Sama Gaon (3550 m) 4-5 hours trek. Elevation gain: 30 m.

We move deep into the high mountain territories today. We walk on the debris of Pungen Glacier to reach a small village called Sama. From here, we move on for about half an hour to reach Sama monastery. Overnight at local teahouse.

Teahouse B+L+D

Day 09 Acclimatization and Exploration Day

Elevation: Pungen Gumba (4200 m), Sama Gaon (3550 m) 5-6 hours trek. Elevation gain/loss: 650 m.

A day’s break here is necessary to beat our fatigue and also to get our bodies used to the high altitude. But staying idle does not help in acclimatization, so the best way to keep ourselves fit for the days ahead is to walk around the area during the daytime and take in the marvels of the Himalayas. A day trip to Pungen Gumba (4200 m) can also be carried out.

Teahouse B+L+D

Day 10 Day Trip to Manaslu Base Camp

Elevation: Manaslu Base Camp (4800 m), Sama Gaon (3550 m) 5-6 hours trek. Elevation gain/loss: 1250 m.

A day trip to Manaslu Base Camp begins from Sama Gaon. Pass through following the beautiful glacial lake Birendra Tal at an elevation of 3,450 m. The freshwater Birendra Tal originated from Manaslu Mountain. Hike to the base camp where we can witness the fabulous Manaslu glacier and panoramic views of Mt. Manaslu, Naike Peak, Ganesh Himal, etc. After exploring the Manaslu Base Camp, descend slowly to Sama Gaon for an overnight stay.

Teahouse B+L+D

Day 11 Trek to Samdo

Elevation: Samdo (3865 m) 4-5 hours trek. Elevation gain: 315 m.

This is a short walking day, after breakfast, we start trekking to Samdo. Pass through the forested trails of Juniper and Birch.

Teahouse B+L+D

Day 12 Day hike to Tibet border, return to Samdo

Elevation: Tibet Border (5100 m), Samdo (3865 m) 7-8 hours trek. Elevation gain/loss: 1235 m.

A hike to the Tibet border from Samdo is full of adventure. Reaching the Tibet border is challenging as it lies at an elevation of 5100 m, so we suggest trekking slowly to prevent altitude sickness. Once you reach the Tibet border, get enthralled by the geographical landscapes of the border region. Experience the cultural diversity as well. Return to Samdo for an overnight stay.

Teahouse B+L+D

Day 13 Trek to Dharmashala

Elevation: Dharmashala (4460 m) 3-4 hours trek. Elevation gain: 595 m.

More and more amazing spectacles unfold around us today. We are still following the Budhi Gandaki River, which changes now into a rather small stream. We leave the last settlement of the trail today at Sumdu to reach Dharmashala. But before that, we pass through a stream coming from Gya La, a pass leading into Tibet, and also the ruins of Larkya Bazaar. This bazaar probably was a prosperous trading point with Tibet a few centuries ago. But after the opening of roads to link Nepal and Tibet, this place seems to have been abandoned.

Teahouse B+L+D

Day 14 Trek to Bimthang via Larkya La Pass

Elevation: Larkya La Pass (5106 m), Bimthang (3590 m) 8-9 hours trek. Elevation gain/loss: 646 m/1516 m

Certainly one of the most adventurous days in the entire trek.

The descent on the other side is steep through glacial debris to Bhimphedi. Night in the Local Teahouse.

Teahouse B+L+D

Day 15 Trek to Tilije

Elevation: Tilije (2515 m) 5-6 hours trek. Elevation loss: 1075 m.

As we start to come down to lower elevations, we again see farmlands and forests. This is the case today, as we pass alpine forests of rhododendron and fig trees to reach Tilje. Night in the Local Teahouse.

Teahouse B+L+D

Day 16 Trek to Dharapani & drive to Besisahar

Elevation: Dharapani (1960 m), Besisahar (830 m) 5-hour trek, 3-4 hours’ jeep drive. Elevation loss: 555 m.
