There is still homestay trekking and the people here are very traditional and everything has a very authentic taste. That is why it is one of the remote and off the beaten path trekking trails.

3. Manaslu circuit trek is less touristy and less crowded.

This trek circles the Mt. Manaslu and other mountains. When you start your trek from Arughat you will never come back to the same place that you have started your trek. We have so many treks like that for Example Everest base camp trek, Annapurna base camp trek and Langtang trek are the trek. This trek starts from the same place and ends at the same place whereas Manaslu trek circles the Mt Manaslu through the Budhi Gandaki River and Arrives at Marshyangdi River which comes from Annapurna mountain range.
