The Manaslu Circuit officially opened for trekking in the early 90s, is a cultural trek par excellence, without a doubt one of the best treks in Nepal. Oddly, it's also one of the Nepal Himalaya's least known treks.
A trek around the Manaslu circuit is a step back in time, a glimpse of pristine Nepali and Tibetan villages, a walk through a remote Himalayan paradise. The diversity of the trek, from the Hindu middle hills to the Tibetan high-country dwellers and the awesome mountain scenery of the Manaslu Himal and surrounding peaks combine to make this circuit one of the most interesting, as well as one of the most challenging, treks in Nepal. The 5215meters Larkya La is just one of the high points! This is a classic camping adventure and will push you to the limit, both physically and mentally, and at the same time you will be supporting the Charity.
Our Manaslu charity trek itinerary combines adventure and kindness, providing you with lasting memories of the Remote Himalayas while allowing you to contribute to a remote community within Nepal. We believe in creating awareness in areas that Media coverage doesn't, for us, every individual counts!
From your participation in this trek US$200 per person is donated to the Sambhav Nepal Foundation, a non-profit Foundation, which two main objectives are to establish and implement long lasting sustainable education and health systems with community development that impact isolated areas of Arupokhari, Aruchanaute and Ratmate villages (thirty villages and over 10,000 poor people in total) which are located in the Northern part of the Gorkha district in Nepal. Gorkha is located North West from Kathmandu. Our carefully designed Manaslu Charity Trek itinerary will allow you to visit above mention villages and participate in the projects which are currently supported by Sambhav Nepal and us.
The challenge of Manaslu Circuit has a unique unmatched environment, as relatively few trekkers visit, making your experience more unique and unspoiled. You will be greatly rewarded and feel a great sense of compassion as you trek into the remote village to experience the everyday life, visit the school, meet with locals and see just how isolated the area is.
We believe that through our guidance children will learn to be proud of what they can achieve rather than ashamed by what they cannot accomplish. Upon completion of the trek, if want to contribute further through network contacts to raise more awareness and future sponsorship or make an additional donation it's greatly appreciated.
