Mostly a day would include a number of climbs or descents of 600 meters more or less, starting after the early morning breakfast, resting at a lunch place in the afternoon, then continuous trekking until arriving at the teahouse.

In preparation for the trekking in Nepal, it is important, to begin with, the basic training requirement at least 2 months before departing for trekking in Nepal. Two to three hours of aerobic exercise like running, walking, swimming, cycling & some gym work per week is the minimum and most will find it beneficial to add some basic strength training to their physical fitness routine required for the hard trekking and for normal and easy trek just have some physical fitness is enough. One of the best ways to prepare is to take practice hikes with a daypack roughly the same weight as what you will be taking during the trek. Your calf should be enough fit and prepare for trekking. Mostly during the trekking calf pain or tiredness is the main issue. Do this only after a baseline of fitness has been reached. Moving fast is not our goal, will provide a more enjoyable and safe adventure trekking in Nepal for all easy and hard level.

Trekking Seasons in Nepal:

There are main two seasons in which Nepal where the most amount of visitors visit. (September, October & November) being the most popular season which is also called the peak season in Nepal, and spring (March, April & May) coming in close behind which is also called the mini-season in Nepal. The summer months of June, July, and August are the monsoon season and most of the time raining as such the trails are mostly washed out sometimes, and roads can sometimes be impassible due to landslide activates. Nevertheless, you can trek to rain-shadow regions like Upper Dolpo and Upper Mustang during the monsoon seasons. Nepal is a suitable destination for all seasons.

Winter is very dry & extremely cold and all the high passes become inaccessible due to ice and snow conditions. The temperature doesn’t usually fluctuate during the day time temperature is around 20-25 degrees. However, you gain altitude the temperature decreases. The temperature can drop to around 0 to -25 degrees at night when staying at tented camps in Himalayan regions. Winter trek in higher altitudes is not advised due to the danger of avalanches and also altitude sickness. Although some may enjoy the sight of the snow-covered mountains as you reach your destination.  However, the temperature does not change as much in lower mountain regions the nights are slightly colder than days’ time.

Autumn & Spring is the best timing for trekking in Nepal because the weather is generally warm and dry, and flowers are in bloom in the lower elevations of the country on the same time you can see the many festivals during that period.

Trekking Day:

A typical trekking day begins with the early morning breakfast around 7 am in the hotel. (Depend on the trekking region). It would advise you to pack your trekking gears in a duffle bag and essential supplies in your day pack after having breakfast; we begin the trek and head along the trail at around 8 am. The morning walk is more energetic to be longer as we begin with refreshed bodies and enthusiasm.  A good morning’s walk, we make a stop for lunch at around 11-12 pm. The lunch involves group meals enjoying the vicinity around the stop & enjoys the organic & local food in the mountain. After resting for about an hour or two, we resume our trek to reach the teahouse or camp by 2-3 pm. The afternoon walk is relatively shorter and can involve games and side trips as organized by the trekking experienced guides. You also can enjoy breaks during the trek to relax, read, and stroll around the area, or doing yoga. You can explore with the local people and observe their lifestyle & culture. Dinner is served around 7-8 in the evening to round off the day.

Meals and Accommodations:

During the trekking period, the accommodation is commonly referred to as teahouses. These are family-run basic lodges that fill the role of the restaurant, Dining hall, and boarding house for tourists. Now a day’s electricity can be found in the rooms, which means one light bulb, and one or two outlets for charging electronics. The common areas are also lit by electricity. Alternatively, teahouses may also use solar, hydroelectric, or have electrical lines running into the village, so the commonality and availability of electricity may vary. Still, a few of the trekking route electricity service is not available. Use the local traditional kerosene light.

Most of the teahouses have private rooms, though if the trek is in a more remote or high altitude place there are limited teahouses so season time dormitories are the norm. Most of the room has 2 single beds with basic bedding, and the bathroom is shared. Some of the places we can get the private bathroom also with a mix of western and squat style toilets in the bathrooms.

Breakfast and dinner are taken at the same teahouses and these lodges have large family-style dining rooms centered on a stove or coal to provide heat basically in mountain areas. Most of the area’s menu will have Nepali-style western foods such as pancakes, pizza, burgers, fries, etc. Also on the menu is the traditional Nepali food Dal Bhat meal. This is a lentil soup with rice, vegetable, Pickle, or meat curry. Most menus will also offer a smattering of local cuisine.

Internal Flight Delays:

Nepal is an incredible and beautiful country of mixed of the White Mountains, deep valleys, Landscape, rivers, and green rolling hills. With this incredible diversity of landscapes, road travel can be extremely time-consuming and flights within Nepal to reach popular trekking destinations is the easiest way. Not all the trekking destination has flight service so road transportation is the only option. Mountainous terrain also comes with the possibility of in-climate weather. It mentions the incredibly high number of visitors during peak seasons makes internal flight delays a very real possibility. To manage this situation it may be helpful to have a few extras days on either end of your tour. If any cancellations or flight delays do occur (high chances of flight delays from around Kathmandu to Lukla, Everest region, Pokhara to Jomsom, Annapurna region), we also provide services to arrange chopper on the last stage to help you to be on your schedule on the premises of Civil Aviation Rules in Nepal which state that helicopters can fly if the visibility is 1500m. The cost ranges from USD400 to USD650 according to the number of passengers. The payment can be made either to the helicopter company or to us directly and can be made either by cash or using a credit card. It will be very helpful to purchase and review your insurance as some of the alternative measures for travel may be covered by the insurance companies. Flight insurance may cover changing your international flight if it is necessary.

Travel Insurance:

Most expeditions, Adventurous trekking, and tours require that travel insurance and it is purchased prior to arriving in Nepal, but other normal treks and tours may not require. However, travel insurance is definitely an important consideration. There are a number of reasons to consider insurance. Firstly, it may be required, so check to see what is being asked for by the company. Second, Nepal is a landlocked country, and there are only a few direct flights. Travel in and out of the country can encounter some disruptions if purchasing insurance, make sure flight delays and cancellations also included. Always choose insurance that, though every safeguard is in place during your Holiday, there are always extenuating circumstances that may result in an accident during trekking & tours. Read carefully printout of insurance policies to ensure that the trekking or any other activity you are engaging in is covered or not, as some policies have stopped covering trekking in certain places. If you are going above 5000 m or high always mention the policies so it’s cover the chopper service in the last condition. It is very important that if you have the comfort of good insurance, so do the research and choose carefully which makes your trip relaxing and joyful.

Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS):

Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) is usually seen in un-acclimatized people shortly after ascent to high altitudes. The condition occurs due to the thinning of air as the altitude increases.

The symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness are nausea, vomiting, tiredness, shortness of breath, and cerebral pain.

Drinking-Water:

Water is essential for life, and clean water is imperative while on holiday. When visiting less developed countries like Nepal it is a concern that all travelers should consider. There are few options when trekking or traveling in Nepal that will mitigate any chances of drinking contaminated water. The first consideration to take into account is that tap water should not be ingested. That even means when brushing your teeth in an urban area. Most will choose to buy bottled water and if doing so make sure the cap has sealed properly. Plastic bottle reuse is a big problem, and with that being said there are other options on the market to assist in making water drinkable. Mountain spring water is drinkable but if you use the purified tablet. The conservation area project also sells this tablet for most of the trekking area. A guide will assist you to find out it also.

The best season for Manaslu Circuit Trek is generally from September to November and from March to May. During these months, the weather is usually clear and stable, with lower chances of precipitation, making it easier for trekkers to enjoy the scenic beauty of the Manaslu region.

In the autumn season, from September to November, the weather is usually dry and stable, and the views of the mountains are generally clearer. The temperatures are moderate, making it comfortable for trekking during the day, but colder at higher altitudes and during the night.

It is worth noting that Manaslu Circuit Trek requires a special permit and can only be done with a registered trekking agency. The availability of permits and the crowds on the trail can also vary depending on the season, so it’s best to plan ahead and consult with a reliable trekking agency.

Manaslu is the eighth highest mountain in the world, the name actually comes from the Sanskrit word ‘Manasa, which means “intellect” or “soul”. Manaslu was first scaled by Toshio Imanishi and Gyalzen Norbu, who were part of a Japanese expedition that reached the top of the mountain on 9 May 1956.

Manaslu is sometimes referred to as the “Killer Mountain” because it is one of the deadliest peaks in the world. The mountain, which is located in the Nepalese Himalayas, has claimed the lives of many climbers over the years.

There are several reasons why Manaslu is considered a particularly dangerous mountain. For one, it is the eighth highest peak in the world, with an elevation of 8,163 meters (26,781 feet). This means that climbers face extreme altitudes and extreme weather conditions, including high winds, heavy snow, and bitter cold.

In addition to the challenging environment, Manaslu is also known for its technical difficulty. The mountain has several different routes to the summit, all of which require significant climbing skills and experience. The terrain is steep and exposed, and climbers must navigate dangerous crevasses, icefalls, and avalanches.

Despite these challenges, Manaslu continues to attract experienced mountaineers from around the world. However, climbers must be prepared for the risks involved, and must take all necessary precautions to ensure their safety on the mountain.

The length of the Manaslu Circuit Trek depends on the itinerary chosen by the trekker and the starting and ending points of the trek. However, the standard length of the trek is generally between 12 to 18 days, covering a distance of approximately 177 kilometers (110 miles) around the Manaslu massif.

The trek starts in the village of Arughat, in the Gorkha district of Nepal, and ends in Besisahar, in the Lamjung district. The trail passes through a variety of landscapes, including lush forests, remote villages, high-altitude passes, and glacier-fed rivers.

The trek includes several acclimatization days, which are necessary to adjust to the high altitude and avoid altitude sickness. It also includes challenging passes, such as the Larkya La Pass, which is the highest point of the trek at 5,106 meters (16,752 feet).

Overall, the Manaslu Circuit Trek is a physically demanding trek that requires a good level of fitness and endurance. It is recommended for experienced trekkers who have some previous high-altitude trekking experience.

The Manaslu Circuit Trek is considered a challenging trek and requires a good level of physical fitness and endurance. The trek involves long hours of walking on a variety of terrains, including steep ascents and descents, rocky trails, and high altitude passes.

The high altitude can also cause altitude sickness, which is a serious concern for trekkers and requires proper acclimatization and preparation.

The Manaslu Circuit Trek is also a remote trek, with limited access to modern facilities and amenities. Trekkers must be prepared to spend several days away from civilization, and must be self-sufficient in terms of food, water, and other supplies.

Overall, the Manaslu Circuit Trek is recommended for experienced trekkers who have some previous high-altitude trekking experience and are in good physical condition. Proper preparation, acclimatization, and trekking with a licensed and experienced guide or porter are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek.

It’s essential to carefully read and understand the policy terms and conditions to ensure that you have adequate coverage for your needs.

Before purchasing travel insurance, you should also check if the policy covers high-altitude trekking and activities that you plan to undertake during your trip. Some policies have altitude limits, so it’s important to check if your trek falls within the policy’s coverage.

Once you reach Soti Khola, you can start the Manaslu Circuit Trek and enjoy the stunning scenery and challenging terrain of this beautiful trekking route.

Manaslu Circuit Trek has become increasingly popular in recent years due to several factors. One of the main reasons is that it offers a unique and less crowded trekking experience compared to some of the more popular trekking routes in Nepal, such as the Everest Base Camp or Annapurna Circuit.

The Manaslu region is relatively remote and has only recently been opened up to trekking. As a result, the area is less developed and more pristine, with fewer trekkers on the trail. This allows trekkers to experience the natural beauty and cultural richness of the region in a more authentic way.

The Manaslu Circuit Trek is also known for its challenging and varied terrain, which makes it an attractive option for experienced trekkers looking for a new adventure. The trek offers stunning views of the Manaslu massif, as well as other peaks such as Himlung Himal, Cheo Himal, and Kang Guru.

Another reason for the popularity of the Manaslu Circuit Trek is the recently improved infrastructure in the region, which has made the trek more accessible and comfortable. The trail now includes several teahouses and lodges, providing basic accommodation and food for trekkers along the way.

Finally, the Manaslu Circuit Trek is a culturally rich experience, with the opportunity to explore remote mountain villages and interact with the local people. The region is home to several ethnic groups, including the Gurung, Nubri, and Tsumba, each with their unique language, culture, and traditions.

All these factors combined have made the Manaslu Circuit Trek an increasingly popular option for trekkers looking for a unique and challenging trekking experience in Nepal.

The Manaslu Circuit Trek is a restricted trekking area in Nepal, and a special permit is required to enter the region. In addition to the special permit, trekkers also need to obtain other permits, including the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP) and the Manaslu Conservation Area Permit (MCAP).

Here are the current permit fees for the Manaslu Circuit Trek:

  1. Manaslu Restricted Permit: USD 70 per person per week (September to November) and USD 50 per person per week (December to August).
  2. Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP): NPR 3,000 (about USD 25) per person.
  3. Manaslu Conservation Area Permit (MCAP): NPR 2,000 (about USD 17) per person.

In addition to these permit fees, trekkers also need to obtain a TIMS (Trekkers’ Information Management System) card, which costs NPR 1,000 (about USD 9) per person.

It is worth noting that the Manaslu Circuit Trek can only be done with a registered trekking agency, and the permit fees are usually included in the trekking package. The trekking agency will also help you obtain the necessary permits and paperwork. It is recommended to consult with a reliable trekking agency to get accurate information about the permits and their fees before starting the trek.
