What to Bring to the Tour
The Manaslu Circuit Trek is a hidden gem in the Himalayas, offering an authentic experience away from the crowds. Unlike the more popular Everest and Annapurna treks, the Manaslu Circuit remains relatively secluded, providing a sense of adventure and closeness to nature within the hidden Nepalese valleys.
The hike revolves around Mount Manaslu, the eighth-highest mountain in the world, and offers a rich blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage. Here, you'll discover the world of Sherpas and their way of living from up close in the most authentic way possible.
When you opt for the Manaslu Circuit Trek, you’re signing up for a visual and cultural feast. The Manaslu Circuit Trek itinerary is meticulously planned to offer a balanced mix of natural beauty and cultural exposure. The trek takes you through the Manaslu Conservation Area, leading to breathtaking views of the mountain ranges.
You’ll also interact with the local communities and experience their way of life. With our guided tour, you’ll have the added advantage of a well-thought-out itinerary that ensures you don’t miss out on any of the trek’s highlights. Accommodation on the Manaslu Circuit is generally in the form of teahouses, which offer basic but comfortable facilities. These teahouses also serve as dining areas where you can enjoy a variety of meals, from traditional Nepali food to more familiar international dishes.
Recent changes in Nepal’s trekking regulations have made it mandatory for all trekkers to have a licensed guide. Starting from March 31, 2023, the Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) announced that all trekkers must obtain a Trekking Information Management System (TIMS) Card through authorized trekking agencies registered with the Nepali government.
We’ve taken care of every detail, from permits to accommodations and safety measures, allowing you to focus on the breathtaking landscapes and transformative journey ahead!

A fantastic 3 day self guided Hut to Hut hike around Triglav National Park in Slovenia. We experienced a full range of weather which made it an unforgettable trip. The organisation and back up support with GPS maps etc was excellent. Hut staff were friendly and very happy to give advice and suggestions on the routes and directions. Would recommend.
My friend and I went with Triglav Tours for a 3 day, 2 night hike this summer and had the most amazing time!! Our guide, Bine, was awesome and had lots of cool facts to share about the area we were hiking. Additionally, my friend and I had not completed such a technical hike before and the guide and other guests were very patient with us and encouraging, ensuring we felt safe the entire time. The overnights were also such a fun way to get to know Bine, the other guests, and other hikers as well. Cannot recommend Triglav tours enough!!!
I arranged a six-day/five-night trip with Hut to Hut Slovenia. It's the first time I've gone with a tour organizer and I can say it went really well. In the past I've arranged huts myself and it is a huge hassle figuring out how to make the bookings, if the bookings actually exist, and what good/viable routes might be. Having this all sort was, at least to me, totally worth it. The routing is via Ride with GPS, which was great. I'd recommend bringing 1:25,000 scale paper maps as a backup, just in case. The huts themselves differ wildly. Some are really rustic with, ahem, interesting toilet facilities. One was accessible by road and thus had showers, a long menu, and even espresso. All will have some sort of food, but you might only have two options for dinner (one with meat, one vegetarian). The cuisine in the Slovenian huts leans strongly to stews and goulashes with minimal fresh vegetables and/or fruit. Certainly good and hearty but pretty much everyone I talked to said the food was better in the Italian and Austrian huts. Some huts are cash only, some take cards (but the card reader might be down). A 1.5 litre bottle of water is about 6 euro, so if you have a beer with dinner and also buy lunch you need to carry about 25-30 euro per day in cash (assuming you have a booking that includes breakfast). Of the six days of hiking, four were ridiculously spectacular, with the highlight being sunrise from Mt Stol. Getting up to the high mountains, though, can be crazy steep, with switchbacks only sparsely used. Descents are similarly tough, and you have to watch every step. For the first time ever I used trekking poles and my knees thank me. Two days were a bit of a slog, but this is probably unavoidable getting up to or down from the high terrain. Would I do something like this again? Yes, absolutely! But next time it will probably be the Dolomites.
We had a lovely hike today with our guide Klemen. He personalized the tour on our needs and interests, so that we saw places we wouldn't without his experience. The hike was a little bit slippery after the rain from the last days and it went a lot upwards, but it was totally worth it! Thanks again :)
