Trekking in August is one of the new trends in Nepal. August is the month when the monsoon is about to end. The sky is clear and the views are dazzling to enjoy. Similarly trekking in August gives the opportunity to experience green terrace fields, tea houses, and scenic beauty. One of the suitable trekking destinations to trek in the month of August is the Manaslu trek. Manaslu Circuit Trek is one of the well-admired trekking spots situated in the Gorkha District of Nepal at an elevation of 4800 meters. Manaslu Peak is the 8th highest peak in the world, with an altitude of 8156 meters. This trek was officially opened in 1992 and a special permit is required for trekking at this peak because the Manaslu region is one of the restricted trekking routes of Nepal. Due to the open border and Tibet in this region to avoid any sort of foreign problems, special permits have been issued by the government to trek in the Manaslu region.
Manaslu Circuit trek begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to SotiKhola then the trail is followed by Macchakhola, Jagat, Dang, Namrung, Samagaun, and finally base camp. It takes about 9–10 days to reach base camp. Standing in front of the 8th tallest peak in the world gives different feelings. During the trail, the route offers mind-blowing views of peaks like Himal Chuli (7793 m), Ganesh Himal (7319m), Shringi Himal (7187 m) and Manaslu Himal (8156 m). After reaching base camp we will spend some quality time, take some pictures, and return back via the same route. This trek offers splendid views of mountains, a mixture of rich cultural heritages, candid adventure, unbeatable beauty, and biological variety. Beautiful forests of rhododendrons and pine trees can be experienced. The houses of this region are so unique made up of stones and piles of firewood, water-driven prayer wheels.
During the trek experienced trekking leaders will explain about the Manaslu region that you need to know about it. The unbeatable and untouched beauty of this region makes this trekking so unique and exciting. Manaslu Conservation area is another major attraction of this trek which provides a chance to witness abundant species of flora and fauna.
