Manaslu Circuit Trek in Julai: what to expect

July is the middle of the monsoon, with heavy rain, high rivers and frequent landslides on roads and trails. Cloud covers most peaks, leeches are at their worst in the lower valleys, and flights to mountain airstrips are unreliable. Drier rain-shadow areas behind the main ranges are the usual choice for the few people who trek now. Lodges are quiet and some close for the season. Most partners wait for autumn, so a July trek needs a flexible schedule, a trusted guide and a clear reason to go. If you are set on this month, choose a partner who is comfortable with wet gear, slow progress and changed plans, and who packs dry bags and a pack cover.

Manaslu Circuit in July brings heavy rain to the Budhi Gandaki gorge, with landslides on the trail and road. Larkya La at 5,106 m is often in cloud. The permit is listed at USD 75 per week. Few trekkers go, and lodges are quiet.
