The circuit of Mount Manaslu 8156 meters is gaining popularity rapidly. Mount Manaslu is the eighth highest mountain in the world. Part of the Manaslu region's trails was restored after it was damaged by the massive earthquake of 25th April 2015. The local name for Manaslu is Kutang – Spirit Mountain. The government of Nepal only opened the Manaslu Circuit Trekking route to tourists in 1991. We start this trek by either taking a private jeep to Soti Khola to begin the trek. The trail begins with narrow valleys with tropical vegetation hiking along the Budi Gandaki River. Parts of the path are small, with loose rocks used as steps, and several places can be potentially dangerous, especially when you encounter passing caravans of mules.
