Manaslu Circuit Trekking | Larky Pass

The Manaslu Valley Trek 2017/2018 is more remote and spectacular than many, with rough steep tracks and limited accommodation during the trek. It is culturally fascinating with strong continuing links to Tibet in the upper Buri Gandaki (called Nupri ‘the western mountains’) and the Tsum Valley, and even has the Larkya La (5100m) as a challenge. The views of Mt Manaslu, eighth highest mountain in the world, are marvelous and close. Day Via day Manaslu itinerary ) Day 25/October: Arrive in Kathmandu.
