A thin sky opens above the Budi Gandaki valley as trekkers step off the dusty jeep track and into the first rhododendron slope. Early on, the river dares you with its roars; later, the stone chortens and mani walls answer in low, steady prayer. Over two weeks the trail climbs from 710m at Soti Khola to the raw, wind-scoured crest of Larkya La at about 5,160m, then descends through alpine meadows toward Dharapani.
challenging.
14 days.
Good cardiovascular fitness and previous multi-day trekking experience recommended; ability to hike 6–8 hours daily with loaded pack.
Yes—Manaslu is a restricted area; trekkers must obtain a Manaslu Restricted Area Permit and TIMS card, and travel with a licensed guide.
The Larkya La pass reaches roughly 5,160m; the crossing is the most strenuous day, requiring good fitness, proper gear, and acclimatization.
Teahouse guesthouses along the route provide basic private rooms or dorms and meals like dal bhat, soups, and noodles; included meals are typically breakfast, lunch, and dinner on trekking days.
Fall (Sept–Nov) and spring (Mar–May) offer the most stable weather and best views; monsoon and winter bring higher risk of closures or deep snow.
The trail follows old trade and pilgrimage routes between Nepal and Tibet, and villages still reflect Gurung and Tibetan cultural traditions, monasteries, and mani walls.
The Manaslu region limits independent trekking to protect fragile high-altitude ecosystems; hiring local guides and using established campsites/tea houses reduces impact.
