Manaslu and Annapurna Circuit Trekking
Manaslu and Annapurna Circuit Trekking a fantastic trek provide unique itinerary links the trek around Manaslu with a traverse of the northern Annapurna range to Jomsom and explore the & Great Barrier. You ascend to the foot of the North Face of Manaslu and crossing two passes; the Larkya pass (5,135m/16,847ft), is one of Nepal’s best-kept secrets and the Throng-La pass (5,416m/17,764ft). You are rewarded with a stunning panorama and finest aspects of spectacular sight.
Your Manaslu to Annapurna Circuit trek begin in the ancient town of Kathmandu; from where you will board a bus to Arughat and follows the meandering Buri Gandaki River northwards to the village of Deng. Although quite board initially, the valley soon narrows down and you soon find that you are clambering high above the river on fantastic paths which cling precariously to the hillsides. This part of Nepal sees only a handful of trekkers each year and you can expect the trails to be less crowded. As you progress further northwards the valley opens up to reveal delightful alpine meadows and small Tibetan villages that are found in a cluster beneath sweeping North Face of Manaslu.
You continue through Jagat, Gap Pu and Sho, typical Tibetan villages with rows of the prayer wheels and Mani stones. The trail eventually reaches Samagaon, the largest and most important village of this region. This is a key staging post for expedition teams attempting to climb Manaslu and the mountain from here is outstanding.
From the Samagaon you head west & cross the Larkya La (5,135m/16,847ft), a classic pass linking the Buri Gandaki with the Marsyangdi Valley, with farm lands forming a part of the old trading route between Manang and Tibet.
From the top of this pass you are rewarded with a stunning panorama looking towards Himlung Himal (7,126m/23,379ft), Manaslu the Annapurna peaks, with the peaks of Ganesh Himal (7,406m/24,298ft) rounding off the east. The descent passes through the alpine meadows of Bimthang to join the renowned Annapurna Circuit at Thonje.
Tillman first surveyed this region in 1950 on his reconnaissance of Annapurna. After following the traditional Annapurna Circuit route for three days to Manang the trek continues to the Throng la pass. After crossing the Throng La we have scenic deserts and famous pilgrimage Muktinath hindu temple which is popular religion place in Himalayas. Further downhill walk in the holy river to Kali Gandaki and enjoy with apple garden along the trail. We at Skyline Treks arrange the Manaslu and Annapurna Circuit treks in the end to end of the year.

Incredibly amazing trek in Nepal Himalayas and when it comes to Rara Lake just out of this world aquamarine Lake, can’t explain the beauty in words, I feel so incredibly blessed that I experienced the real Mother Nature, it makes my heart single. Everything was arranged so well by Skyline treks.
A big thank to Mr. Madav Pandey, my trek guide Sanjay C and the support staff who worked greatly to make this trek very valuable memory for me. Big hats off to you Skyline treks and family,
I hope to trek with you guys when I plan my next trek.

Succeeded Rara Lake trek batch in February 2017
United States of AmericaAnnapurna base camp trek was one of the charismatic treks that I have done, besides world’s highest mountain the most significant thing of this trek is every day changing in landscape and surroundings and as well the very important part of this trek is that I joined with professional team of Skyline treks in such landscape.
This trek in Nepal Himalayas was my first trek with Skyline and experiencing the quality of service throughout the trek provided by the company and if I rate this out of 10 I should rate as 9.9. Dheeraz as trek guide gifted by Skyline to our batch, the amount of kindness and hospitality up in the mountains is not enough to recommend for the entire team of Skyline treks.
Richard Stevens
Done Annapurna Base Camp trek batch in September 2017
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern IrelandThe trek in the direction of EBC which Skyline Treks and Expedition bestows us was worthy of attention due to numerous of snow capped mountains along with the massive worlds highest Mt. Everest which is the prime hotspots of the Everest region.
Over all our trek to EBC is almost too good to be true and this credit goes to our competent guide Sanjay who is all the time extremely helpful to us. We would like to urge if someone is seeking for Everest Base Camp trekking in Nepal then please join with sound great company Skyline Treks for your reliable trek and exalting hospitality.

Everest Base Camp Trekking in Nepal
United States of America (USA)Mr. Madhav and his very enthusiastic team are true ambassadors of the proud Nepali people, its culture, & heritage, and are a shining example of how perfect hosts should be. I (AceAuteur) came into Nepal as a tourist and left as if stepping out of home, to be back again soon. Thank you very much Mr. Madhav and all the staff of Skyline for a truly spectacular experience! See you again soon.
