Short Manaslu Circuit Trek – 10 Days Full Board Manaslu Trek – Kathmandu, Nepal
EXPERIENCE
The short 10 Days Manaslu Circuit Trek is one of the shortest restricted journeys in the Manaslu region.

You ll traverse high alpine passes, including the highest point of the trek, Larkya La Pass at 5,106 meters.
Along the way, you ll be amazed by the glaciers and the proximity of the massive peaks. Mountains like Mt. Himalchuli (7,893m), Mt. Ganesh Himal (7,422m), and of course, Mt. Manaslu itself will appear so close that you ll feel like you could touch them. To prepare for the higher altitudes, several days of acclimatization at lower elevations are built into the itinerary.
