Begin your journey directly from Pokhara and step into one of Nepal’s most untouched trekking regions — the legendary Manaslu Circuit Trek. This itinerary is specially designed for travelers who want a seamless Pokhara start, avoiding Kathmandu crowds while still experiencing raw Himalayan beauty, deep culture, and high-altitude adventure.
Start with a scenic drive from Pokhara to Machha Khola, passing rivers, hills, and rural villages. Enter the restricted Manaslu region with stone villages as you trek to Jagat. Continue to Deng, crossing rivers, waterfalls, and suspension bridges.
Transition to Tibetan-influenced culture as you trek to Namrung. Enjoy your first stunning views of Mount Manaslu as you trek to Lho. Reach the cultural highlight village of Samagaon, where you can take an optional hike to a glacier or viewpoint near Manaslu.
Trek to the remote high-altitude village of Samdo, near Tibet. Continue to Dharamsala, the base for the pass crossing. Cross Larkya La Pass, the most adventurous day with epic mountain views, and descend to Bimthang.
Rejoin the greener Annapurna trails as you trek to Dharapani. Return to Pokhara with a relaxed evening. End your trip in Pokhara, with a free day to explore the lakeside city.
