Manaslu Circuit Trek is a picturesque and undoubtedly off-beaten journey in Nepal. It is probably the most underrated trekking route and one of the most popular restricted Treks in the Manaslu Region of Nepal. The 15-day Manaslu Trek is an enthralling destination after Everest, Annapurna, and Langtang. Interestingly, this is among a few trekking regions where single solo trekkers are allowed as there should be two people in a group. Trekking must be headed by the Nepal Government Licensed Trekking Guide with a special permit and ACAP permit too. Mount Manaslu (8163 m) is the world’s 8th tallest peak and it’s a major attraction of the Manaslu region.
