Transportation Around Mount Manaslu Trek

The Mount Manaslu Trek 14 days begin with a ride from Kathmandu to Soti Khola. For this, you will have to take a local bus ride up to Aarughat. From Aarughat, you will have a ride on a private jeep up to Soti Khola.

Similarly, on the 13th day of the trek, you will have a ride on a private vehicle from Dharapani to Besisahar. On the 14th day, you will get back to Kathmandu on a public bus.

Maximum altitude of the 14 Days Manaslu Circuit trekking

The maximum altitude of the 14 Days Manaslu Circuit trekking is 5,106 meters at the Larkya La Pass. It's a challenging but rewarding trek that offers breathtaking views of the Himalayas and a glimpse into the unique culture of the Nepalese people. 

From the top of the pass, you can witness the magical sight of a wide range of mountains right before your eyes, which makes the challenging ascent all worth it. Make sure to walk at your own pace, acclimatize properly, and bring appropriate gear for the high altitude.

If you do not already have the required trekking gear, then you can hire or buy the necessary trekking gear and equipment in Kathmandu. Our guide will be there to help and assist you in the buying process.

The best time to complete the Manaslu Circuit Trek 14 Days

The best time to complete the Manaslu Circuit Trek 14 Days is in the spring season, which runs from March to May. In spring, the weather is mild, and the rhododendron flowers are in full bloom, making it a beautiful time to trek. The autumn season, from September to November, is the best time to trek the Manaslu Circuit. The weather is dry and clear, offering stunning views of the mountains and landscapes during this time of the year.

The summer months of June to August are the monsoon season, which can bring heavy rains and landslides, making it less favorable for trekking. However, the lush greenery and fewer crowds can be a plus. The winter months of December to February bring cold temperatures and snow, making it more challenging to trek, but the snow-capped peaks and serene environment can be a unique experience for those who want to take the challenge.
