All AdventuresThe Manaslu Circuit is Nepal's most compelling alternative to the Annapurna Circuit — a 14-day journey circumnavigating the 8,163m Manaslu massif, crossing the Larke Pass at 5,106m, through remote Gurung and Tibetan-influenced villages largely untouched by mass tourism. One of the great Himalayan walks.
The sheer drama of Manaslu's 8,000m face viewed from close range at camp — a wall of ice and rock filling your entire field of vision. The Larke Pass crossing at 5,106m rivals Thorong La for views and surpasses it for solitude.
