About this trip
Join us on this extraordinary trail running expedition around one of the highest mountains on the planet - Mt Manaslu.
On our fully serviced small group expedition, we set out to trail run the Manaslu Circuit – the eighth highest mountain in the world. Running with only a light pack, all gear and equipment is carried by mules each leg of the way.
Our journey begins at 700m with a variety of terrain along the way which has everything from great canyons and lush forests that characterise the entry valleys. It doesn’t take long for us to sight the first snow-capped peaks, as we run through ancient villages and over the high mountain pass of the Larkya-La (5,160m).
We plan our expedition carefully to allow for the gradual acclimatisation to the Himalayan altitudes, but the efforts are richly rewarded with some of the best mountain scenery found anywhere else on the world.
