Trekking and discovering landscapes is never about exploring the peaks only. It’s an opportunity to dig deeper into different cultures and create unforgettable bonds with its people.
Do you dream of an adventure where you will admire the towering peaks, stunning landscapes, and breathtaking panoramic vistas in the day and retreat back to the resident villages to seek delicious cuisine and the warmth of locals?
Manaslu circuit trek allows you the most chilling yet heartwarming adventure in the Himalayas. You can explore ancient villages, enjoy the tales of centuries old Buddhist traditions and experience a life that feels nothing short of living in old times.
If you are the kind of traveler who seeks not only stunning views but also cultural depth, this trek should be your next destination.
Walking Through Ancient Villages
The villages across Manaslu Circuit have stood the trials of time. They haven’t changed for centuries and still stand in all their glory while preserving their rhythms of life.
Imagine it. You’re striding into a village where everything reminds you of the ancient age: the wind carries the sound of fluttering flags, the air smells of wood and smoke, and the locals greet you with warm smiles and curious glances. It all sounds dreamy, right?
As you pass through the villages like Lho and Sama Gaon, it hits you like you are stepping back in time. The stone houses, ancient scriptures, narrow streets, spinning prayer wheels and all sorts of other things feel timeless.
And let’s admit that you’ll feel like an absolute foreigner at first. However, as you go about the villages and blend in with people, they’ll make you feel more at home than you can imagine.
Exploring the Buddhist Heritage
Nepal has a rich Buddhist heritage as the most common religion there is buddhism and hinduism. Trekking through Manaslu Circuit will not only take you alongside the majestic peaks and endless landscapes but also walk you through a spiritual path.
One of the most inspiring things about this heritage is the Mani walls. These walls are made from intricately carved stone tablets with prayer inscriptions. Besides these, the Stupas and Chortens marking the landscape give you an idea of how deeply Buddhist culture is woven into each fabric of this trek.
And here is the highlight, Sama Gompa Monastery. This monastery is perched on a hillside in Sama Gaon, overlooking some breathtaking views that are to die for. Just sit in the Monastery, close your eyes and feel the air around you. It always feels like time has stopped and you feel so calm and serene inside out that it almost feels wrong – almost lol!
Further down the trek, you’ll see another monastery called Pungyen Gompa. This is also very quiet and allows you an equally powerful experience as Sama Gompa Monastery.
These monasteries are the sacred places where they assume that God resides. The locals visit here to seek blessings and connect to their spiritual traditions. The whole experience is so fulfilling that when you enter these monasteries to meditate for a while, you genuinely feel a spiritual flare and connection to something that you can’t quite put a word to. That magical feeling is for you to discover yourself!
Crossing the Larkya La Pass
Now, moving on to the Larkya La Pass, that is the highest and most challenging part of Manaslu trek. At an altitude of 5106m this pass not only tests you physically but also mentally. So, be sure that you are ready to push your limits before moving forth.
But, after crossing this challenging point and finally reaching the summit, you’ll find yourself thinking that all the hassle was very downright worth it because the reward is beyond words.
The view awaiting you is a sea of snow-capped glaciers as far as your eyes can see. The clouds are touching the peaks while the sun is casting its rays on the snow to make it shine in all its glory. That is the moment to capture in your virtual memory and remember it when you feel down and are back to your routine life.
