What is the best time to do the Manaslu Circuit Trek?

Trip Overview

The best seasons for the Manaslu Circuit Trek are spring and autumn.

Spring (March to May) offers blooming rhododendron forests, stable weather, moderate temperatures, and clear mountain views.

Autumn (September to November) is the most popular trekking season because of dry weather, crisp air, excellent visibility, and comfortable trekking conditions.

Winter trekking is possible too. But the weather can be very cold with heavy snowfall near Larkya La Pass.

And, during the monsoon season, trails can become muddy and slippery. This will increase the risk of landslides and make the trek more challenging.
