Manaslu Circuit Trek in Mart: what to expect

March is the start of the spring season. Lower valleys warm up and the first rhododendrons begin to flower at mid altitude, though the high sections can still be cold and snowy. Haze often builds in the afternoon, so mountain views are best early. Numbers of trekkers rise through the month and lodges at popular stops begin to fill by the end of March. Trails are mostly dry, with some old snow near passes. It is a good time to commit to a partner, because groups form quickly once April bookings start. Agree your pace and rest days with your partner early, because the first spring crowds make last-minute changes to lodges harder.

Manaslu Circuit in March is a shoulder month. Larkya La at 5,106 m may still carry snow, and lodges at Samagaun reopen towards the end of the month. The permit is listed at USD 75 per week, and a licensed guide and agency are required.

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.
