Monaslu Larke Pass -19 Days

Trip Overview

Manaslu Larke Pass Trek – An Epic Himalayan Journey

Manaslu, the eighth-highest mountain in the world at 8,163 meters, is located near the border of Nepal and China. The name Manaslu is derived from the Sanskrit word “Manasa,” meaning “soul” or “spirit,” and is often referred to as The Spirit Mountain. The name Manaslu comes from “The Spirit Mountain.” The Manaslu Larke Pass Trek will lead you through mesmerizing woodlands with rhododendron and pine trees. The highest point in the trek is called Larke Pass. From Larke Pass, you can clearly witness Mt. Manaslu, which has a height of 8,163m. Manaslu is also the eighth highest peak in the world.

This trek is widely regarded as one of the most dynamic and rewarding treks in Nepal. In recent years—especially after the COVID-19 pandemic—the popularity of the Manaslu trek has grown to rival that of the Everest Base Camp trek. Like all high-altitude treks, proper acclimatization is essential for safety and enjoyment. The mountain trails are rugged and challenging, yet incredibly scenic and fulfilling for those seeking an off-the-beaten-path experience.
