Standard Manaslu Circuit Trek: An Unforgettable 13-Day Adventure
The Manaslu Circuit Trek, offered by Team Ram Adventure, is a captivating journey that seamlessly blends rich cultural heritage, breathtaking Himalayan panoramas, an untouched Himalayan ecosystem, and an exhilarating walking experience. Following the ancient salt trading route of Tibet along the banks of the Budi Gandaki River, this trek serves as a mesmerizing entry into the hidden valleys bordering Nepal with Tibet. The trail, open to tourists since 1992, has emerged as a premier alternative to the Annapurna Circuit Trek.
The adventure begins with a scenic drive to Arughat, from where the trek unfolds uphill beside the rushing Budi Gandaki River. Traversing through rugged gorges nestled between the towering peaks of Himachuli (7890m), the Manaslu Circuit Trek often immerses trekkers in a wilderness walk that promises both challenges and rewards.
The Manaslu Circuit Trek is best experienced during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons. These months offer stable weather conditions, clear skies, and pleasant temperatures, providing an optimal trekking environment.

This trekking package is specially designed for those with limited time but a keen interest in exploring the hidden beauties of the Manaslu Region. The itinerary covers all major highlights of the Standard Manaslu Trek but does not include acclimatization days in high altitudes.
