A remote, restricted-area circuit around the world's 8th-highest peak.
The Manaslu Circuit is a remote, permit-controlled trek that circles Mount Manaslu (8,163m) via the Budhi Gandaki gorge and the high Larkya La Pass, visiting Tibetan-influenced villages far from the more crowded trails.
Yes, a licensed guide and a minimum of two trekkers are mandatory requirements for the restricted area permit.

The Annapurna Circuit exceeded all expectations. Crossing Thorong La at sunrise was a moment I'll never forget.
