Are you ready for the adventure of a lifetime? This trek promises just that, taking you to the awe-inspiring Larke La Pass with its unforgettable views of Annapurna II, Kang Garu, and Cheo peaks. Spanning 15 days, the Manaslu Circuit Trek—named after the world’s 7th highest peak—will take us through a stunning variety of landscapes, from lush forested hills to alpine high passes. Along the way, we’ll get to explore remote villages near the Tibetan border, where the local culture is deeply rooted in Buddhism. What makes this trek even more special? It’s a women-only journey, guided by a woman with a mission—to promote equity in trekking tourism. This trek ensures that porters and guides receive fair wages, accident and illness insurance, essential gear, as well as proper meals and accommodations.
The All-Women Manaslu Circuit Trek is a stunning adventure, a worthy rival of the more popular treks like Annapurna Circuit and Everest Base Camp. The trek will take us to Larke La Pass where we’ll immerse ourselves in the grandeur of the mountain ranges of Annapurna II, Kang Garu peak and Cheo peak, for a view of a lifetime. We’ll get to experience diverse landscapes, from forested hills to alpine high passes, while visiting remote villages near the Tibetan border, where the local culture is deeply rooted in Buddhism.
What you get on this adventure:
What’s not included:
The All-Women Manaslu Circuit trek is strenuous and challenging. Recent hiking and/or backpacking experience is highly recommended, as is excellent physical condition—you’ll be hiking for 2 weeks, 3-9 hours per day. During your trekking days, there will be some steeper and more challenging ascents along the way. There will be less arduous days reserved for acclimatization and rest. (Please note: hiking times in the itinerary are estimations; the actual hiking can take more or less time than noted.)
You will need to prepare for a cardio workout and consult with your doctor before joining the trip given the high altitude reaching up to almost 6,000 m / 20,000 ft. You will be required to familiarize yourself with the hazards and risks of high-altitude trekking, and sign a liability waiver and terms & conditions forms. However, this is a supported trek; hence, you only carry a daypack with your essentials (porters are hired to carry your belongings). You will be staying in tea houses each night.
