Namrung is a peaceful and culturally rich village on the Manaslu Circuit Trek in the Gorkha district of Nepal. Located at an altitude of about 2,630 meters (8,629 ft), Namrung is an important stop for trekkers before heading to higher Himalayan villages like Lho, Samagaon, and Samdo. Surrounded by forests, farmlands, and snow-capped peaks, Namrung offers both natural beauty and cultural charm.
At Nature Heaven Treks and Expedition, we see Namrung as more than just a resting place. It is a gateway to the real Himalayas—a village where trekkers experience breathtaking views of Manaslu, Himalchuli, Ganesh Himal, and Shringi Himal, along with authentic Tibetan-style culture.
Namrung is surrounded by rhododendron and fir forests, terraced fields, and crystal-clear streams. As you enter the village, prayer flags, mani walls, and Buddhist chortens make the atmosphere spiritual and peaceful.
Trekkers are welcomed each morning with golden sunrise views over Mount Manaslu and Himalchuli. In spring, colorful rhododendrons make the trails magical, while autumn offers crystal-clear skies and sharp Himalayan panoramas. For photographers and nature lovers, Namrung is a hidden paradise on the Manaslu trek.
Namrung is home to Gurung and Tibetan-influenced communities. The people here follow a traditional lifestyle based on farming, animal herding, and tourism. Trekkers will see locals wearing traditional clothes, spinning prayer wheels, and practicing Buddhist customs.
The village has monasteries, teahouses, and lodges where trekkers enjoy Nepali and Tibetan food such as dal bhat, momos, Tibetan bread, noodles, and butter tea. Staying in Namrung gives visitors the chance to interact with locals and experience authentic Himalayan culture.
Namrung plays a vital role in the Manaslu Circuit trek package because it is both a rest stop and acclimatization point.
Most trekkers say reaching Namrung feels like entering the “true Himalayas.” The altitude is moderate, making it perfect for your body to adjust before climbing to higher regions like Samagaon and Larkya La Pass (5,106 m).
The best time to visit Namrung is during spring and autumn, when mountain views are outstanding.
Namrung now has comfortable teahouses, guesthouses, and small lodges. Rooms are basic but cozy, with options for attached bathrooms, hot showers, and charging facilities.
Meals are mostly local—dal bhat, momos, noodles, soups, and tea. Prices are a little higher than in lower villages due to remoteness, but the food is fresh and filling.
At Nature Heaven Treks and Expedition, we pre-arrange the best Namrung teahouse accommodation for our trekkers to ensure safety and comfort.
