This route has not been walked, so there are no measured segment times on this page: the distances and climbs are computed from the planned line along OpenStreetMap's trail network, not from my pace. Every station's position and name was checked one by one.Route is for reference only.This route has not been walked yet. It is a planned line routed along OpenStreetMap's trail network following the guide's itinerary (Nepal Trekkers). Ten days, Day 3 to Day 12, about 137 km. Please note:
- The highest point is Larkya La (5,160 m) on Day 10. Day 9 ends at Larke Phedi (about 4,475 m); Day 10 crosses the pass and descends to Bimthang, 8–9 hours of walking by the itinerary. OSM has no place named "Larkya La", so searching that name in a map app finds nothing: use the waypoint in the GPX.
- On Days 3 and 4 a new road runs beside the old trail along the Budhi Gandaki. This page draws the trail OSM tags as the Manaslu Circuit; the reference record took the road on the other bank for stretches such as Tatopani → Jagat.
- The shape was checked against someone else's GPS record from September 2025, walked in the opposite direction, horizontally only. On Days 4, 6 and 8–11 more than 90% of this page's line lies within 50 m of it (median 2–9 m). The Prok stretch on Day 5 (about 5.4 km), the out-and-back to Pung Gyen Gompa on Day 7, and Days 3 and 12 are not in that record and are checked on OSM only.
- Drives are not drawn. Days 2 and 13 are spent in a jeep; on Day 12 the walk ends at Dharapani and a vehicle continues to Besisahar.
Weather and trail conditions in the high mountains change from year to year; on the ground, follow current conditions and your guide.
