Overview- Horse riding to Manaslu Circuit
Our horse-riding trek to the Manaslu region of Nepal begins with a drive from the capital city, Kathmandu to Aarughat. From Aarughat, we head to Soti Khola, where our horsemen state the place and safety instructions for riding the horse in the Manaslu region for a better experience. In the coming days, we will ride through riverbanks, suspension bridges, and terraced rice fields. As we reach Samagaun, a place amid highland, the view of the mountain peaks starts to be seen. We acclimatize on Samagaun for our trek to higher altitudes.
The highest altitude we ride our horse during Manaslu horse riding trek is in Larke Pass (5,136 m). The cold and fresh air of Larke La eases you to relax your busy and stressful mind. Larkya la Pass offers magnificent views of the Annapurna Himalayas, i.e., Kangaru, Cho Oyu Himal, and Himlung Himal. Reaching Larke La is a once-in-a-lifetime achievement, which you should be very proud of.
Some places can be very tough to ride on horses. Hence, we have to choose to walk over those places. Slowly, we leave behind the panorama, and each step we take during our ascents and descents seems worthwhile.

In the autumn, the best time is between early September and late November, when the forests are green and there is very little chance of rain.

Winter and Monsoon seasons are not preferred by the trekkers because of cold night and morning, and rain makes hard to ride the horse with no possible mountain view. The Manaslu Circuit is a must for serious mountain trekkers on the lookout for a very special experience.
