Remoteness vs Amenities
Trail Traffic
Fitness Needed
Altitude Exposure
Altitude Sickness Concerns
Altitude and back-to-basics lodging put many would-be trekkers off, but with smart pacing and the right kit it’s totally doable. The itinerary steps gradually from 869 m to 3,500 m before crossing the pass, giving your body time to adapt, and guides carry oximeters and Diamox for backup.
What our adventurers say
I'm very happy Sunil, Bisal and Kalika guided our Manaslu trek. It was a wonderful experience of a lifetime and I felt safe and comfortable all the time.
Sammy
I had a wonderful private hiking trip on the Manaslu Circuit with the operator. Everything was well organized. All staff were very friendly and supportive. Special thanks to my guide Shyam and my porter Dilib. Very fine people. I can recommend this company and this trip.
