Are you interested in a budget trek in Nepal that attracts fewer trekkers? If so, Manaslu Budget Trek is an ample destination. We especially designed this trip for students and low-budget travelers who want to explore the Himalayas at minimal expense. The name of Manaslu Circuit Budget Trek originates from Mt. Manaslu (8,156 m), the eighth-highest mountain in the world. The Manaslu Trek has been promoted all over the world since the Japanese team made the epic journey to the top of this mountain in 1956. Today, you can experience this trek as a tea house or a basic homestay.
Manaslu Circuit Budget Trek goes from low land to high land through amazing natural beauties and incredible landscapes, so this trip is known as the virgin trekking trail of Nepal. This is a combination of adventure tests and cultural livability. Century-back Tibetan culture, people's lives, beliefs, rare wildlife and vegetation, monasteries, chortens, mane walls, and mountain scenery make your trip remarkable. Larkya La Pass (5,160 m) is the main key point of the Manaslu Budget trip, and glaciers, lakes, and a beautiful surrounding natural atmosphere make the trip more enjoyable. As Manaslu is near the Tibet border and the culture here is untouched by modernization, the government of Nepal has declared a restricted area for trekking.
You need special permits to hike in this area, which a registered trekking agency can only obtain with at least a professional trekking guide and a minimum of two people in a group. Due to requiring four different permits and long-distance transportation costs, the trip cost is already expensive. But being the residents of Gorkha, we at the Nepal Mother House Treks team are trying to reduce the trip cost and put in as much effort and enthusiasm as we can to make the budget trek.
The Manaslu Circuit Budget Trek journey begins in the capital city of Kathmandu, after organizing all permits and paperwork. There are regular bus services from Kathmandu to Arughat Bazaar. For much more comfort and a pleasant drive, you can also hire private vehicles. If you have a short time, then there is an option to drive to Lapubesi, further than the Arughat bazaar; this makes you two days ahead of the classical trekking itinerary. Trekkers are concerned about the road congestion at the Manaslu Larke Pass Trek and are curious about the trekking trail of Manaslu Circuit beyond the road. To meet your goal, we try to escape vehicles and road construction at the beginning of the trek and explore Nepalese rural settlements and livelihoods with dissimilar experiences to other trekkers. You are taking an alternative trekking trail to Manaslu Circuit from Arughat Bazaar to Maanbu villages, Kashigaum, Kerauja, Rumchet, and finally, at Manaslu Circuit, the main trail at nearby Tatopani and Dovan.
The trip further ahead, following the bank of the Budhigandaki River (Yashodhara Nadi) and its narrow canal, visits various rural villages: Machhkhola, Tatopani, Philim, Deng, Namrung, Lho, Samagaun (the birthplace of theMingyur Rinpoche "The Joy of Living" book), Samdo, and over the Larkya La Pass via Dharmashala. Finally, the Cheap Manaslu Circuit Trek ends at Dharapani after Bhimtang and Tilje villages. Take a public bus or private jeep to Besisahar and then your destination.
We at Nepal Mother House Treks assume the Manaslu Budget Trek will be the best option for those trekkers who are looking to trek on a remote trip in the high Himalayas at a lower cost. To avoid the crowd of trekkers, it would be best to visit mid-September or late October in the autumn and from March to May during the spring. We are glad to organize the Manaslu Circuit Budget Trek according to your requirements with expert local guides and porters. Sign up with us for your ultimate experience in the heart of the Himalayas in a budget-friendly way.
