Manaslu Circuit Trek in June: what to expect

June is the start of the monsoon. Rain falls on most days in the foothills, trails are muddy, leeches are common at lower altitudes, and clouds hide the mountains for much of the day. Landslides can close roads and trails, and mountain flights are often delayed or cancelled. Rain-shadow areas north of the main ranges stay drier than the foothills. Few trekkers are out, so lodges are quiet and some are closed. Treat any June trip as flexible, carry full waterproofs and travel insurance, and check road reports before you commit. Ask your guide about the latest road and trail reports, since conditions in a single week can differ from the previous one.

Manaslu Circuit in June is monsoon trekking. The Budhi Gandaki trail has landslides and leeches, and the road from Kathmandu to Machha Khola can be blocked. The permit is listed at USD 75 per week, but conditions make the 14-day plan risky.

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.
