Manaslu and Annapurna Circuits Trek: 23 Days Package 

The Manaslu Circuit Trek and Annapurna Circuit Trek, collectively known as the Manaslu Annapurna Circuit Trek, is a 23-day itinerary and package. This all-encompassing trek is ideal for those who aspire to experience two renowned high-pass treks in a single journey. It beautifully merges a restricted trek with a globally recognized trek. Experience the pristine beauty of the Manaslu conservation areas, beginning in Kathmandu with a picturesque drive, and set off on the Manaslu Circuit Trek, which leads you to Larke La Pass at 5106m. This breathtaking high pass provides spectacular views of the Manaslu and Annapurna regions. After crossing Larke La Pass, the trek descends to Dharapani, from where you can continue on to the world-famous Annapurna Circuit Trek. Did you know that the endpoint of the Manaslu Circuit is Dharapani, which is also the starting point for the Annapurna Circuit Trek? Yes, you can begin your journey on the renowned Annapurna Circuit Trek from Dharapani and immerse yourself in the stunning landscapes and mountain vistas of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. 

The 23-day epic trek through the high passes of the Manaslu and Annapurna Circuit offers an opportunity to experience stunning scenery along the tranquil trails of the restricted Manaslu trek. The Manaslu Circuit Trek is renowned for its purity and authenticity. This trek typically takes around 12 days to uncover the hidden gems of the region, which surrounds Mt. Manaslu (8163m), the eighth-highest mountain, along with Tibetan cultural villages and diverse natural landscapes. As you ascend to higher elevations, the scenery transforms dramatically compared to the lower altitudes. Reaching the Larke La Pass at 5,106 m, the highest point of the Manaslu Circuit Trek, offers breathtaking views of mountains and glaciers. After this stunning pass, you will enter the Annapurna Conservation Area, where magnificent mountains greet you with a warm welcome, and you will descend to Dharapani, experiencing the beauty of mountains, glaciers, pine forests, and cultivated farms along the way.

The Manaslu Circuit Trek concludes in Dharapani, from where you will continue to Chame, Pisang, Manang, Yak Kharka, Thorong La Phedi, and finally Thorong La Pass at 5416m, the highest point of the Annapurna Circuit Trek. The views here are distinctly different from those of Manaslu, showcasing unique cultures, landscapes, mountain vistas, charming villages, and apple farms that evoke different feelings. On this trail, you will encounter more people than in the Manaslu section. The mountain views are stunning yet vary in shape from those of Annapurna, with the glacial lake of Gangapurna and glaciers visible during the Thorong La Pass. After crossing Thorong La Pass, you will witness the upper Mustang landscape, characterized by red rock formations, and in the distance, the Dhaulagiri range comes into view. Upon reaching Muktinath, you will experience a harmonious blend of culture, nature, and people. The Muktinath Temple serves as an iconic center for both Hindus and Buddhists. After visiting Muktinath, the trek continues to Jomsom via Lubra. The lifetime jounrey trip concludes in Kathmandu after Pokhara.
