Special Features of Manaslu Circuit Trek in Nepal

There are so many features that make trekking to Manaslu in Nepal a special journey. These attributes make the Manaslu Trekking an ideal journey for trekkers from around the world.

Entry into the Natural Heritage of Nepal

Manaslu Circuit Trekking takes you through a few of the most stunning areas in the hills of western Nepal, one of which is the Manaslu Conservation Area, a natural heritage populated with unprecedented species of flora and fauna.

Panoramic Views of Mountains in the Manaslu Region

Mt. Manaslu (8163 m), Mt. Himchuli (6441 m), and Mt. Ngadi Chuli (7871 m) are a few of the many pristine mountains that will grace you with their pleasing views throughout the Manaslu Trekking. Mt Manaslu is the eighth-highest peak in the world.

Explore a section of the Great Himalaya Trail

The Manaslu Region happens to be a significant part of the Great Himalaya Trail, a trekking route in the Himalayas, extending from Nanga Parbat in Pakistan to Namche Barwa in Tibet. 

Experience the Culture of the Local People

On the trail, you will get a chance to explore the mountain culture. The Nupri and Tsumba people here have an interesting philosophy towards life that’s worth looking into.

Taste Adventure at a High Altitude Mountain Pass

Trek to Manaslu has an adventurous side to it as well, as it takes you through a few of the highest places in the hills of Nepal. Larke La (5106 m), a high-altitude mountain pass, is a prime example of it. 

History of Manaslu Circuit Trek

Though there is a long history of trekking in Nepal, the Manaslu Circuit trek route officially opened for foreign and local trekkers only in 1992

For a significant amount of time, the Manaslu Region remained a restricted area for travellers. Access was given only to a limited number of people, considering their purpose for visiting the area. 

In 1992, even after the government made the route open for all the trekkers, foreigners were discouraged from trekking in the region. 

In the present, things are completely different. Foreigners and locals alike can easily enter and trek in the Manaslu Region. However, they need a special pass to do so.

Manaslu Trekking : A Restricted Trekking Route in Western Nepal

For a long time, the Manaslu Region remained a hidden gem, and Manaslu Trekking was restricted. Foreign nationals and even Nepalese weren’t allowed entry into the region for various reasons. 

The prime purpose is the conservation of nature and culture. The Manaslu Region is home to not just some of the rarest species of flora and fauna but also indigenous people belonging to the Nubri and Tsumba tribes. The government made it a point to preserve nature and culture by preventing encroachment from people. 

Another important reason is that the area is highly sensitive since it borders Tibet. For a long time, Tibetan rebels used the region as their base, and security was a big concern as the government couldn’t track them down. People from outside weren’t allowed to enter to prevent any kind of political incidents or loss of life.

As mentioned above, visiting the region and trekking to Manaslu was allowed after 1992, lifting the restrictions. Now, anyone can acquire the permits and explore the beauty of Manaslu.

How do we prepare the Mount Manaslu Circuit Trek for 2025 & 2026?

If you are planning to go for the Manaslu Circuit Trek in Nepal, it is crucial that you undergo the preparation process. You will be able to have the best possible experience when you are properly prepared for the trip.

Visit your Doctor

Manaslu Circuit trekking can put a toll on your body, so it is important that you visit your doctor so that you can have an expert consultation. You need to be sure that your body can handle the altitude, the cold, the tough walk on rough terrain, and other challenges. 

Upscale Fitness Level

A lot of times, just a little bit of physical preparation can make your trekking simple. The Manaslu trip can get challenging at points, so if you do a little exercise at home – brisk walking, breathing, inclined walking, jogging, and so on – you will be better prepared for the trek.

Get in Touch with Travel Partner

Before and after you book your trek, remain in touch with your travel partner. Consult with them regarding subjects like packing lists, things to keep in mind, and any other important things that you need to do before catching the flight to Nepal and embarking on the Manaslu Circuit Journey.

Prepare Travel Documents

Make sure that your passport is in the right condition. You don’t have to worry about a visa, as you can get it on arrival. Without travel insurance, you can’t trek on the Manaslu Circuit. So get one, and make sure to email a copy to your travel partner before catching your flight to Nepal.

Book Flight Tickets

It is recommended that you reach Kathmandu at least 24 hrs before your trip to the Manaslu Region. It will give you ample time to explore the city and do any last-minute preparation or shopping. Book your flight tickets way in advance to ensure this.

Make a Checklist

After consulting with your travel partner, make a list of things that you need to pack for the trek to Manaslu. There are certain items that you could buy in Nepal, so why bring them all the way from home? Plan accordingly, and stay organized with a checklist.

Do the Necessary Shopping

Whatever items you’re lacking, make sure to buy them well ahead of time so that you can pack them in an organised manner. Categorize the items that you need to buy at home and the ones that you can buy in Nepal. This will keep your luggage light.

Note to our Clients

We entertain all kinds of queries that our clients may have regarding their trip to Manaslu, including ‘how to prepare for the Manaslu Trek’. We insist our clients contact us for any kind of information needed.

How hard is the 13 Days Manaslu Circuit Trekking?

High Altitude Places

During the trek, you will cover numerous high-altitude places like Dharamsala (4460 m), Pungyen Monastery (4700 m), and Larke La (5106 m), the highest point in the trip. Crossing these areas is challenging, as there is a constant risk of altitude sickness.

Scenic Areas

On the trek, you will reach many viewpoints that offer amazing views of the mountains. You will walk through dense forests, cross white rivers, and spot beautiful waterfalls. Even the villages like Jagat, Lho, and Bimtang are quite scenic, nestled beautifully in nature.

Rough Terrains

Once you cross 4000 m, you will realize the vegetation is getting sparser and the path is becoming rougher and rockier. It will obviously be tough to walk on this terrain for a long duration. You might also need to walk on snow once you cross 4800 m, adding to the difficulty.

When is the best time for the Manaslu Circuit Trekking?

The best time for Manaslu Circuit trekking is autumn (September to November) and spring (March to May)

Autumn

It is neither too hot nor too cold during this season. During the day, the temperature ranges between 12 ℃ and 20 ℃, and during the nighttime, the temperature can drop below 0 ℃. The weather is clear and enables you to enjoy amazing mountain views.

Spring

During the day, the temperature could range between 5 ℃ and 20 ℃. However, during the night time, it could go as low as -5 ℃. The weather, though pleasing, can get unclear at times, often cloudy, preventing you from enjoying the mountain views.

Monsoon

Generally, the months between June and August are considered the monsoon season. Now, though it is recommended not to trek during this time, quite a few trekkers tend to go for the trek to Manaslu during the monsoon season.

During the day, the temperature could range between 15 ℃ and 25 ℃. However, during the night time, it could range between 5 ℃ and 15 ℃. The temperature can drop significantly if the rain occurs.

The path during this season could be wet and slippery, making your trek quite difficult. Having to deal with the rain while trekking is yet another unpleasant thing to experience. At times, the clouds could block the mountain views.

Winter

Normally, the months between December and February are considered the winter season. Now, though it is recommended not to trek during the winter season, quite a few trekkers tend to go for the Manaslu Trekking during this time.

During the day, the temperature could range between 5 ℃ and 12 ℃. However, during the night time, it could drop even lower than -15 ℃. In addition to lower temperatures, the trekkers might need to deal with snowfall in certain high-altitude places.

The accumulated snow could make walking on the trail quite tough. It’s not just wet and slippery but also numbing. Needless to say, the views are the worst during this time because of both the clouds and fog.

Note to our Clients

We organise treks in the Manaslu region throughout the year, regardless of the size of the group. Our treks are safely conducted as we take the right measures when it comes to dealing with problems like rain and snow on the route. So, if you want to trek during the off-season, whether it’s monsoon or winter, we will assist you as your travel partner.

Itinerary

The journey on the Manaslu Circuit trek route starts with a bus ride. The eight-hour-long drive will take us to the starting point of our trek, Machha Khola. On this day, you will experience an array of things. You will find yourself dealing with the hustle and bustle of Gongabu Bus Park in Kathmandu and also the peace and tranquility amidst the roar of the river at Machha Khola.

During the bus ride, you get to enjoy the views of lush green hills, and many with terraced farms, cultivating rice and millets, on them. The scene of the waterfalls and the sound of the Budhi Gandaki River is another thing that will excite you. We will pass by various small settlements; it’s fun to see people engulfed in the day-to-day lives here.

Machha Khola is a small settlement. You will see numerous tea houses built on both sides of the road. Nestled in a narrow valley, filled with tourists, the place looks serene. ‘Machha’ means fish, and ‘Khola’ means river. A simple name for a village that is situated beside a river. You will check into one of the hotels here and spend the night

  • Max. Altitude:870m/140km-Distance
  • Time:8/9 hours drive
  • Accommodation:Tea House
  • Meals:Lunch and Dinner

This is the first day of your trek. You make your way alongside the Budhi Gandaki River. The sound of the roaring river accompanies you. The route takes you through forests of Sal and rocky terrains, sometimes ascending uphill and again downhill. You will walk through a gorge and cross various suspension bridges. On the journey, you will feel humid, but the beautiful surroundings will make your trek worth it.

You will cross villages like Khorlabesi and Tatopani. The reason why it’s called Tatopani is that you will find natural springs with hot water in them. You could relax a little here and dip your feet in the hot water. But don’t get used to it! You have a long route to cover ahead.

Finally, you will reach Jagat. It is a small village consisting of tiny houses and structures made of stone. You could say that the architecture has some Tibetan influence. We will end our trek for the day at Jagat. You could spend the rest of the evening exploring the village and getting along with the locals.

 

  • Max. Altitude:1290m/22km-Distance
  • Time:6-7 hours walk
  • Accommodation:Tea House
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

On this day, you will experience significant changes in vegetation, atmosphere, and even the villages that you come across. You will make your way through forests of rhododendron and pine. If they’re covered with flowers, nothing compares to the views they offer. However, in many places, you will realize that the greenery is getting scarce. The trek will take you mostly uphill through rocky terrain.

You will cross the Budhi Gandaki River numerous times on suspension bridges. The beautiful 360-degree view, combined with the sound of the river, will entice you.  The route will continue through Philim, a village inhabited mainly by the Gurung people. As you move further up, you will realize that the settlements have prayer flags, mani walls, and other Buddhist structures, indicating that Tibetan culture has a huge influence in this region.

The trek for the day will end at Deng. It is a small yet beautiful village. You will see terraced fields surrounding the village. You could rest or explore your surroundings. You will feel the air getting thinner and colder. It’s the best time to discuss the strategies to tackle AMS and what the next few days on the trek will be like.

  • Max. Altitude:1860m/20km-Distance
  • Time:5/6 Hours Walk
  • Accommodation:Tea House
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

​​​​On this day, you ascend significantly as you trek uphill on rocky paths. You will get to enjoy breathtaking views as you make your way through pristine forests. Today is the day when Mt. Manaslu slowly starts to show up. The air gets colder as you progress. The view of the mountains accompanies you along the way.

On the route, you cross villages like Bihi Phedi and Ghap. Needless to say, they’re quite picturesque. We take breaks here and enjoy our meals and snacks. There is nothing that compares to a meal enjoyed with the views of hills and mountains right in front of you.

The trek for the day ends at Namrung. The first thing that you will notice is the prayer flags. You will also see yaks walking in line. The sound of the prayer flags flapping in the air and that of the yak bells fills the atmosphere. Namrung is a small settlement set on a ridge. It also offers amazing views of the Alps. You are free to enjoy the rest of the day

  • Max. Altitude:2660m/19 km-Distance
  • Time:5-6 Hours Walk
  • Accommodation:Tea House
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

The trek today is comparatively shorter than other days. As you move further, you will cross numerous settlement areas. You will be astonished by the unique designs of the houses. Meanwhile, the friendly smile on the faces of the locals will simply brighten your day. You will also get clearer views of Mt. Manaslu and Mt. Himalchuli.

You will ascend throughout the day. The higher you go, the thinner the air gets. It will still be cold and fresh. You will see that the vegetation is getting thinner too. Alpine shrubs and juniper trees fill the landscapes.

The trek for the day will end at Lho. It truly is a photogenic place surrounded completely by beauty. There is a large monastery in the village. You could visit it as a leisure activity and enjoy the panoramic view that it offers.

  • Max. Altitude:2950m/10km-Distance
  • Time:4 Hours Walk
  • Accommodation:Tea House
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

The route from Lho to Sama Gaun takes you uphill continuously. The right thing to do at this point in time is to walk slowly and take deep breaths. As you go up, the snow-capped mountains present themselves in full form. You will also make your way through vast lands covered in alpine meadows.

You will pass through villages like Sho and Shyala and notice ancient monasteries and mani walls here. As you take a break here, it’s a good idea to explore these relics.

The trek for the day will end at Sama Gaun. It is quite a big village in comparison to others, and quite a happening one. Trekkers who trek on this route make sure to stop and acclimatize here. You will reach here in the early afternoon, so spend your time strolling around the area

  • Max. Altitude:3530m/9km-Distance
  • Time:4 Hours Walk
  • Accommodation:Tea House
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

On this day, you’ll do nothing but acclimatize. Acclimatization is important as it helps your body adapt to high altitude. You could walk around the village area in the morning, mainly Pungyen Monastery. The monastery offers the most amazing views of nearby mountains and mainly Manaslu Glacier.

Now, despite the fact that short high altitude hikes or light physical activities are recommended, you could also choose to relax, read a book, or do anything that makes you feel better. Make sure to drink a lot of water or warm tea. Eat well, especially food that is rich in carbohydrates. 

  • Max. Altitude:4400m/10km-Distance
  • Time:5-6 Hours Walk
  • Accommodation:Tea House
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

​​Today, as well, the trek will be steep, enabling you to cover high altitudes. You will make your way through juniper and birch forests, and later, you will reach a vast dry area resembling a mountain desert. The trek might be simple at the beginning, but as you go up, it will get tiresome. You will cross the Budhi Gandaki River by walking on a wooden bridge. 

The sound of the roaring river seems familiar as it reminds you of the beginning of the trek. You will enjoy outstanding views of the surrounding landscapes and majestic white mountains. On this day, you might also come across rare wildlife. Be alert, as you might spot blue sheep and marmots.

Samdo is quite a small village, and yet another place where trekkers rest and acclimatize before their ascent to Larkya La. The village mainly consists of people who were, at one point in time, Tibetan refugees. You could take a brief glimpse into their unique way of life.

  • Max. Altitude:3865m/10km-Distance
  • Time:4 Hours Walk
  • Accommodation:Tea House
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Acclimatization at Samdo is crucial as it helps get your body ready to cross the high-altitude Larkya La. We will go on a short hike to the nearest viewpoint that offers exciting views of the surrounding peaks. We will also explore the village and visit the monastery. This is a good way to know about the locals, their culture, and way of life.

Today is also the day to properly check all your equipment and keep it in order. The journey for the next few days from here will be excruciating. Make sure to keep yourself hydrated! You will feel this sense of adventure and excitement on this day as the route from here takes you to the highest point of the journey.

  • Max. Altitude:5000m/12km-Distance
  • Time:6 Hours Walk
  • Accommodation:Tea House
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Today, as well, you will gain significant altitude as you make your way to Dharamsala. You will trek uphill continuously. The beautiful landscapes that you cross will soothe your eyes. You will see vast open spaces and interesting rock formations on the route. 

The trek will be short, and you may not see any settlements between Samdo and Dharamsala. Samdo is the last permanent settlement before Larkya La. Dharamsala, on the other hand, is an accumulation of tea houses that are built to serve the trekkers. Most of these are open only during trekking season and are closed for the rest of the year.

The trek will end at Dharamsala. Now, though there isn’t much to do here, it’s quite a social place. The right thing to do is to eat dinner early and go to bed. Take enough rest as the following day is a big day.

  • Max. Altitude:4460m/4km-Distance
  • Time:3 Hours Walk
  • Accommodation:Tea House
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

​​Today is a big day! We will eat an early breakfast and head out when it’s still dark. The path will take you uphill; the terrain will be rocky, and you will walk on patches of snow once in a while. It might be tough to walk in the dark, so the flashlights come to a good use here. As the sun rises, you are going to witness probably the most amazing view of peaks glimmering red and orange.

Soon, you will reach Larkya La (5106 m) - the highest point in our trek. This is the moment we have all been waiting for, and the past 10 days have been about. Take your photos and celebrate. Enjoy the panoramic views of peaks like Cheo Himal, Kanguru, Mt. Manaslu, Himlung Himal, and so on. After spending some time here, we will begin our descent to Bimtang.

Going downhill might be tough at the beginning, but it gets simpler as you go further down. You will notice the amount of vegetation increasing slowly, and pass by pristine alpine lakes. This long trek will finally end at Bimtang. The village is situated in a broad valley. From here as well, you will be able to enjoy the stunning views of the mountains

  • Max. Altitude:5106m/18km-Distance
  • Time:8/9 Hours Walk
  • Accommodation:Tea House
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

On this day as well, we will be trekking downhill. You will see a difference in flora and fauna as you pass through forests of rhododendron. You will notice the birds flying in the sky and chirping sounds everywhere. The air will get denser, warmer, and richer with oxygen. Enjoy the up-close and beautiful view of Mt. Manaslu one final time.

On the route, you will pass through villages like Gho and Tilje. These are stunning settlement areas surrounded by lush vegetation and greenery. This is the final day of the trek, and it ends at Dharapani.

Dharapani is the crossing point between the Manaslu Circuit Trek route and the Annapurna Circuit Trek route. You will find a lot of trekkers here, either returning from the former one or initiating the latter one. The trekking part of the journey has finally ended. Take a hot shower, enjoy a hot meal, and lie back for the rest of the day

  • Max. Altitude:1970m/20km-Distance
  • Time:7/8 Hours Walk
  • Accommodation:Tea House
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

On this day, we take a ride back to Kathmandu. After a hearty breakfast, you will get into shared jeeps that will take you through all the uneven and dusty roads back to the valley. As you look outside the window of the jeep, you will see similar sights - the hills, the forests, the settlement areas, and the local people whom you met at the beginning of the trip. Only this time, your mind is full of beautiful experiences and memories.

You will reach Kathmandu in the afternoon. You could spend the rest of the day moving around and exploring the city or doing anything that pleases you. Many trekkers tend to extend their journey and visit other parts of the country as well. You could also do the same. Or save them for exploration during your next visit to Nepal.

  • Max. Altitude:1300m/215km-Distance
  • Time:10-12 Hours Drive
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and farewell Dinner

The teahouses on the Trail are decent, with warm rooms and clean toilets, and they also offer facilities like hot water, internet, electronic device charging outlets, and so on. In Kathmandu, there are a variety of accommodation options available, from simple lodges to five-star hotels.

We offer accommodation services only during the 13 days of the Manaslu Trek, in the teahouses that are located in different villages on the trekking route. Normally, our clients are allotted rooms on a shared basis. You can, however, book a private room for yourself by paying additional charges. We will be glad to offer you our assistance in the process.

Generally, our clients manage their own accommodation in Kathmandu at their personal expense. You could visit the official websites of various hotels and pick the one you like the best. You could also ask us to book a hotel room for you; we will be delighted to assist you.

How to prevent altitude sickness during the Manaslu Circuit Trek in Nepal?

Altitude sickness, also known as acute mountain sickness (AMS), is a condition that you might encounter when you cross 3000 m and keep ascending too fast. At such a height, your body is not able to adapt to the environment, as the air is too thin for you to breathe.

During AMS, you could have mild symptoms like nausea, shortness of breath, and headache, or serious conditions like accumulation of water in the lungs and brain.

You can prevent altitude sickness during the trek to Manaslu in Nepal by:

  • Slowing down your ascent – Do not ascend by more than 500 metres per day. Take full-day breaks after every three to four days, or before ascending a high-altitude spot.
  • Drink a lot of fluids like healthy soups, water, or herbal tea
  • Avoiding food and drinks with alcohol and caffeine
  • Eating food items that are high in carbohydrates. 
  • Taking acetazolamide tablets as per the recommendation of the doctors.

Note to our Clients

The guides who accompany you during the Manaslu trip are well-trained when it comes to administering basic first aid, handling health emergencies, dealing with altitude sickness, and so on. Once you enter the risk zone, your blood pressure, temperature, and so on are constantly monitored. Immediate steps are taken when our clients show signs of AMS.

Sometimes, the trekkers heal within a short span of time by simply resting, taking pills, and eating the right kind of food. In case their health gets worse, we immediately call for air support and fly them back to Kathmandu in a helicopter for proper treatment.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is an important document that you need to get on your own from a trusted insurance company in your home country. You will have to send your travel insurance document to your trekking partner before you land in Nepal.

Travel insurance for the trek to Manaslu is significant, as you want to stay on the safe side. In a situation where you either get sick or get into an accident, where the trip doesn’t go as planned, or where your belongings are lost, your travel insurance will cover all your extra expenses.

Trekking in the Manaslu region is absolutely safe, but being prepared for all scenarios is a better thing to do. With travel insurance, you can have a stress-free trekking experience and try any adventure activity that attracts your attention.

Tipping Culture in Nepal

Tipping is a very subjective thing in Nepal. When it comes to the service providers, while a few of them may accept it with a big smile on their face, others might respectfully deny it. Tipping in Nepal is in no way frowned upon.

There is no mandatory rule in Nepal that service providers need to be tipped with a certain percentage of the billed amount. So, while a few local customers might choose to tip, others don’t. Tipping in Nepal has nothing to do with the quality of service.

As a tourist, if you feel like tipping, please do so. However, if you don’t want to, it is absolutely ok to not tip. Nepalese service providers will always greet and serve you with a smile, whether you tip them or not.

Food During the Manaslu Trek in Nepal

When you are trekking in the Manaslu Region, it is important that you eat the right kind of food. The food needs to be simple, packed with energy, and high in nutrients like carbohydrates. 

During the trek, you will be served three meals a day:

Breakfast – generally before the trek begins, at the teahouse; sometimes on the route, at an eatery in one of our rest stops
Lunch – served on the route, at an eatery in one of our rest stops
Dinner – generally after the trek ends, at the teahouse

The dishes served will be a combination of Continental, Oriental, Indian, and Nepali dishes. A lot of times, we will stick to the menu offered by the eateries and teahouses where we rest.

While the food items served to all the clients would be the same, you could ask the server to replace the meal being served with another item on the menu.

Food services are offered only on the 13 days of the Manaslu Trek. During your stay in Kathmandu, you will have to dine at your own expense. We will, however, offer a farewell dinner on the day we return to Kathmandu. The dinner would consist mainly of a typical Nepali Thakali set.

Internet and Wifi facilities during the Manaslu Trek

The teahouses you will be staying in during the Manaslu Circuit Journey tend to offer facilities like Internet and Wifi so you don’t really need to worry about it. However, unlike hotels in big cities, these lodges charge an additional amount to let their guests access these facilities.

Different teahouses may charge differently for these services, depending on how remotely they are located - a rough estimate could be between USD 2 and USD 4 per night. Normally, the clients pay for these services personally based on their needs.

Guide and porter service During Manaslu Hike

During the trek, a friendly, knowledgeable, experienced English-speaking guide will accompany you. If the number of people in your group exceeds 8, then an assistant guide will also join you during Manaslu Trek.

A guide will make your Manaslu journey more pleasing by giving you information about the attractions around you. With the help of the guide, you could also interact with the locals. If you have any health or safety concerns, the guide should be the first person you discuss with. He will take the steps accordingly to assist you.

Now, it is recommended that you carry your luggage on your own. However, if you require a porter to carry your bags, you could mention it in the add-on section while booking your Manaslu trip on our official website. 

We will then manage a reliable porter to carry your luggage safely throughout the journey. You will have to pay a nominal additional fee for the porter.

How to Avoid Road Construction during the Manaslu Trip?

On your journey to the Manaslu Region, you will travel by road quite a bit. Now, depending on the route that you take, you might experience traffic jams or dusty air. 

Nepal is a hilly country, and most villages don’t have motorable roads. So, to make these villages more accessible, the Nepalese government is constructing highways around the country. Also, many segments of the already existing highways require renovation. So, there is also a lot of renovation work in progress.

The traffic jams and dusty air are the result of all this construction.

Regardless, you don’t need to worry about unpleasant highway experiences. Your tour partner will ensure that you don’t have to go through all of that simply by taking you through alternate routes.

Things to keep in mind before going trekking to Manaslu

There are a bunch of things that you need to keep in mind while trekking on the Manaslu Circuit Trail.

Meeting Mount Glory Treks Before the Trip

We insist that our clients meet us before the Manaslu trip. During our meeting, we officially welcomed everyone to Nepal. This way, both we and our clients are able to establish a deep connection, and especially our clients are able to gain a clear understanding of the journey.

By meeting us, our clients realise whether they are actually ready for the trek or if a few last-minute preparations are needed. We brief all the travellers with essential information about the trip, and this is the ideal time for them to have all their doubts cleared.

In the meeting, we also introduced our guide to the trekkers, and a rapport was built among them. A good rapport with the guide is quite crucial, as it makes the entire trekking journey quite pleasing and effortless.

Being a Responsible Trekker

The Nepalese are some of the sweetest people on earth. However, they are quite serious when it comes to their environment, culture, religion, and festivals.

So, it is absolutely crucial that you behave responsibly towards the environment and not litter and throw around things like bottles, wrappers, and so on. 

In the same way, if you get a chance to celebrate their festivals with them and attend events that are religious and cultural, the best thing to do is to be respectful in order to get the best treatment from them.

In case you see something that you don’t like, for instance, animal sacrifice or butchering, things being dumped in rivers and lakes, and so on, kindly walk away and let things be as they are. This is the best policy.

Transportation

We will take you to Machha Khola from Kathmandu and bring you back from Dharapani to Kathmandu in shared buses and jeeps. 

You could opt for private vehicles for transportation by using the add-on option on our official website at the time of booking the Manaslu Trek Package. You will be charged a nominal additional fee for the vehicle.

Also, while you’re spending time in Kathmandu, you will have to take care of all your transportation needs on your own.

Water and Toilet Facilities

When you’re dining in restaurants, whether in Kathmandu or in the villages of the Round Manaslu Trek route, you would be offered filtered tap water. Now it is up to you whether you’d like to drink that or not. However, to be sure that all harms are at bay, it is recommended that you always drink bottled drinking water produced by a well-known company.

Make sure that you are well stocked for the day. You would have to pay for all your drinking water expenses on your own.

In the villages on the route, in case you require hot water, whether for drinking or bathing purposes, you have to pay an additional cost, which would again be from your pocket. The hotels in Kathmandu generally don’t charge extra for hot water.

Now, in the case of toilets, the facilities on the route are pretty decent. The teahouses keep their toilets clean for proper sanitation. One thing that might be of concern to you is that you will normally see squatting toilets on the route rather than sitting toilets. If you can adjust to them, you don’t have to worry about toilets at all.

ATM and Money Exchange

In the hills, there is no way to withdraw local currency. So, it is recommended that every trekker carry around NPR 25 to 30K in their pocket for extra expenses on the route.

The best thing to do is to withdraw the local currency in Kathmandu itself, either from ATMs, which are scattered across the city, or from Money Exchange Counters in Thamel. The ATMs accept all kinds of cards, whether it’s SCT, VISA, MasterCard, and so on.

You could pay in dollars and euros for services and items on the route, but you will end up spending more money than you need to do this way.

Visa In Nepal

You can get your arrival visa after landing at the Tribhuvan International Airport. A 15-day visa costs USD 30, a 30-day visa costs USD 50, and a 90-day visa costs USD 125. 

Payment and Booking Process

You can book your trek online by following the steps given on the official website of Mount Glory Treks. You can also make the payment online through the payment gateways mentioned on the website. 

You are required to pay at least 20% of the package cost to confirm your booking. The rest of the amount can be paid online or by visiting our office when you come to Nepal for the trek. 

Airport pickup and drop-off before and after the Manaslu Trek

Mount Glory Treks offers both airport pick-up service and drop-off services from the airport to your hotel on the day you land in Nepal and vice versa on your last day in Nepal.

Things to do After Manaslu Circuit Trek

Many trekkers choose to go on another round trekking on the Annapurna Circuit Trek route at the end of the Manaslu Trek, since both routes connect at Dharapani.

At the end of the trek, instead of coming back to Kathmandu, you could also head to Pokhara and enjoy leisure time there. Pokhara is filled with attractions to see, places to visit, and things to do that will keep you occupied for more than a week.

You could also go to Chitwan and explore Chitwan National Park. It is known for its wildlife safaris, lavish resorts, and many other attractions that you will love to experience. 

If you are an adventure enthusiast, you could go for adventure sports like bungee jumping, rafting, ziplining, and so on. The spots for these activities are only a couple of hours' drive away from Kathmandu. You could try some of the adventure sports during your stay in Pokhara as well.

Note to Our Clients

Our travel packages feature all these activities as well, so you could add these itineraries to your Manaslu trek package at the time of booking itself, or you could ask us to customise your package after you’ve landed in Nepal.

Farewell Dinner and Certificate Distribution

On the day you return to Kathmandu, Mount Glory Treks will organise a lavish farewell dinner for all the clients. You will be served a typical Nepali Thakali set, which could be considered the national dish of Nepal. Nepali khana is not just known for its supreme taste but also for its high nutritional value.

Shortly after the dinner, a brief certificate distribution programme will be organised, where all the trekkers will be awarded certificates recognised by the Government of Nepal. The documents symbolise the resilience and dedication shown by our esteemed clients during the completion of the Manaslu Trekking.

Feedback After Manaslu Hike

During the Farewell Dinner and Certificate Distribution Program itself, we will organise- a brief feedback session where we reflect on the overall Manaslu Journey. At this moment, you could share with us the shortcomings of the trip so that we can improve the quality of our services.

This is also the time when we urge you to post your feedback on the services offered by Mount Glory Treks and your experience during the Manaslu Circuit excursion on various online platforms like TripAdvisor, Reddit, Google, and so on.
