Manaslu Round Trekking is considered as one of the most challenging treks in Nepal Himalayas. The Manaslu Circuit Trekking rewards the adventurous with an unparalleled alpine experience. Mean the while this trekking offers a rich Himalayan Cultural experiences. This trekking route was opened for foreign trekkers in 1992.  The Manaslu Round/Circuit Trekking Round route leads ahead Budi Gandaki River valley, which is fed by innumerable rivers and waterfalls, offering the chance of a plunge into some bathing pools. From here, the strenuous section begins and yaks begin to out number people in the rocky landscape. In Samagoan (3450m) we visit the glacial green lake of Birendra, before crossing into mystic Samdo, a mere 15km from the Tibetan border. Here Tibetan monks inhabit sacred monasteries and combined with the views of the Tibetan plateau against stark white Himalayas this is a truly spiritual place. The biggest challenge then awaits - crossing the snow bound Larkya La pass (5213m). Snow-covered peaks over 6500m towers above as we cross. The descent, once off the snow, takes us through alpine then tropical areas, bursting with ferns, bamboo, pine trees, waterfalls and aqua-blue green lakes laced with cotton-white beaches. Finally, Manaslu will disappear as we descend to Beshishar (832m.) This 3week excursion will leave you with a sense of peace and respect for the people of Nepal and its ecological wonders.The route crosses rivers, villages, forest and glacier. After Larkya La enters into Annapurna. However, we have to take two weeks permit for round Manaslu area trekking. The Manaslu Round/Circuit Trekking offers a perfect combination of rich culture heritage, unsurpassed Himalayan beauty, and a rich mountain biological diversity.
