Understanding the Difficulty Level of Manaslu Circuit

The Manaslu Circuit Trek is a difficult-grade trek in the Manaslu region of Nepal. This level of trekking is also known as adventure trekking, which is comparatively harder than moderate-level trekking as it involves crossing high passes.

Commonly, this grade of trek requires previous trekking or hiking experience and involves hiking on rough landscapes and glacier crossings. The Manaslu trek involves steep ascents and descents on rocky paths and several high mountain passes to cross throughout the 12 days of the journey.

Trekkers are needed to be fitted with high stamina and without any pre-existing health conditions for commencing this grade of the trek. The trek is most suitable for trekkers looking for a challenging and inspirational trek of around 12 days in a long, rugged, and remote domain.

Essential Steps for a Successful Adventure to Manaslu Trek
