Manaslu is the 7th highest peak in the world located in the Annapurna region of Nepal. The circuit trek allows hikers to experience diversity in the landscapes from forested hills to alpine high passes while visiting villages near the Tibetan border where locals are mainly Buddhists. The Manaslu Circuit Trek is stunning and a worthy rival of the more popular treks like Annapurna Circuit and Everest Base Camp. The trek takes you to Larke La Pass where you immerse yourself in the grandeur of the mountain ranges of Annapurna II, Kang Garu peak and Cheo peak for a view of a lifetime.
The Manaslu Circuit Trek is world class for good reasons. To make the experience more meaningful for hikers, we are organizing a trek that is led by a female guide to create equity and inclusion in the trekking tourism industry. This trek is for FEMALE hikers only and supports the mission of the non-profit human rights organization, The Porter Voice Collective (PVC), which advocates for Workforce Equity for porters in Peru, Nepal & Tanzania.
