Overview
About the trek:
The Manaslu-Annapurna Circuit Trek is intended for those who want to trek both Manaslu and Annapurna in one trip. It is popular in the Manaslu conservation area and is known as one of the best trails in the world. This trek provides a beautiful scenario with a colorful mountain, ethnic group, and lifestyle. The Manaslu Annapurna Circuit Trek with Nepal Dream Path Treks & Expedition starts from Gorkha. This trek provides you with a great opportunity to visit old monasteries and the high pass of Larkey La (5160m). During the trek, you can see the eighth highest mountain in the world, i.e. Mt. Manaslu (8163m) from its base camp. It also includes other snow-capped mountains such as Himalchuli, Shri Ni, Mt. Machhapuchhere, and the entire Annapurna range.
After exploring these special areas of Manaslu, we will join the Annapurna Circuit route from Dharapani, following the upstream Marsyangdi River. Here we get a chance to see Mt. Annapurna II, III, IV, Mt. Dhaulagiri(8167m), and many other snowcapped peaks. We conclude our adventurous journey by crossing the Thorongla Pass (5416m) to Jomsom via Muktinath. Trekking through this circuit, you can see different flora and fauna too.
This section is famous for trails, and GHT combines the Manaslu Circuit with then regions northern section of the Annapurna Circuit, challenging himalayan trekkers to produce a superb trek Circling Manaslu is about 8163 m, the worlds seventh-highest mountain. It is an uneven and less developed trail through long-ago Buddhist villages close to the Tibetan border, which culminates in a crossing of the high and exposed Larkye La (5105 m). From here, the trail descends and intersects with the classic Annapurna Circuit in the village of Dharapani. So people have to head north along this very scenic trail, with great views of the Annapurna massif, and once again gain altitude
as they trek through Manang and eventually over the Thorung La (5416m). The view is exceptional, stretching out over the Tibetan plateau and the region of Mustang. So, descend the pass through the important pilgrimage town of Muktinath and into Kagbeni, an ancient village with a great location on the Kali Gandaki Gorge.

Best time for the trek:
The Manaslu circuit is best in spring and autumn. Ideally, from mid-October until mid-December for the autumn window. While mid-March to the first week of June is the perfect time for spring, if people are willing to consider it a little bit, the Manaslu trek is also possible during the winter. It’s about the cold, but the clarity in the sky is the best in December until mid-January.
