Manaslu Circuit Trek in สิงหาคม: what to expect

August is still monsoon. Rain is heavy, rivers run high and landslides regularly cut the roads that lead to trailheads. Views are limited by cloud, though the hills are green and the air is clean when the sky does open. Flights can be cancelled for days, and trails can be slippery and unstable. Treks that sit in the rain shadow are the most workable. Very few trekkers are out, so you may struggle to find a partner. Late August hints at the end of the rains, but the conditions do not change quickly. Travel insurance that covers delays, cancelled flights and evacuation matters more now than in any other month of the year.

Manaslu Circuit in August is wet and hazardous in the lower gorge, where landslides can cut the trail. The upper valley around Samagaun is drier, but views are limited. The permit is listed at USD 75 per week from December to August.

General seasonal guidance, not a forecast. Conditions change year to year; confirm weather, flights and trail status with your guide or lodge before you go.
