Manaslu and Annapurna Circuit Trekking
Explore Tours
This ambitious trek assembles two of the most beautiful treks in Nepal: the Manaslu Tour and the Annapurna Circuit, via two passes towering above 5000m. Manaslu (8156m) is the world’s seventh highest peak, and its region was only opened for trekking in 1992. Heading north from Gorkha, along the Burhi Gandaki River, the route then turns westwards into a high alpine valley with typical Tibetan villages and a number of fine monasteries. A steeper ascent to Larkya La pass (5212m) is rewarded by stunning views of the Manaslu. At Dharapani, we join the Annapurna circuit and follow the Marsyangdi River upstream.
After Pisang we get stunning up-close views of snowy and glaciated high peaks including Annapurnas II, III and IV. Huge glacial moraines abound, etched deeply by wind erosion into fantastic pillars. We complete this breath-taking route by crossing the Thorong La pass (5415m) to Jomosom. From there, we can either fly to Pokhara or follow the Kali Gandaki River. Continuing to reach Ghorepani and Poon Hill where we enjoy stunning dawn views of Dhaulagiri, Macchapuchare and Annapurna south but below program itinerary fly out from Jomsom to Pokhara
