Manaslu Circuit Trekking Details

MEALS

During our Manaslu Circuit Trekking, we can enjoy typical Nepali food, different ethnic cuisines as well as all types of international cuisine (Tibetan, Continental, Italian, and Indian) from pizza and chips to apple pie. We can even enjoy hot chocolates, a variety of breads, a variety of drinks, and snacks. Breakfast of the day will be served from the tea house or lodge menu where we spent the night. Lunch will be served on the way to the destination, and dinner and breakfast will be served at the tea house where you spend the night.

ACCOMMODATIONS

All accommodations for Manaslu Circuit Trekking are on twin sharing basis included in the trip cost and are chosen based on the standard of hygiene, service, food, location, etc. There are same styles of accommodations during the trip. We will spend 12 nights in standard tea houses, lodges, or hotels where there are unheated rooms with wooden beds and foam mattresses. I will try to provide the best tea house as much as possible; however, tea houses or lodges in some places only have shared washing and toilet facilities.

HEALTH AND EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS

Manaslu Circuit Trekking is a difficult trip suitable for passionate adventurers who have the ability to walk at least 6-7 hours a day with a light day pack. On some days, we might even need to walk more hours. Walking in higher altitude is more physically demanding than walking in lower altitudes; however, those in excellent physical condition with above average fitness and some hiking experience can do this trek. A positive attitude, self-confidence, and strong determination are things that aid in accomplishing the trip successfully. Exercising and jogging regularly for some weeks before the trip is a good idea to enhance strength and stability.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

It is a condition upon trips that all clients be insured for comprehensive expenses that might incur due to medical issues or accidents (this includes air ambulance, helicopter rescue, and treatment costs). Please note that we don’t arrange or sell insurance.

ACCLIMATIZATION

The Manaslu Circuit Trekking itinerary is planned with a high degree of awareness of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness). Going up at higher altitudes too fast causes a medical condition serious enough to result in death. The higher the altitude, the less oxygen there will be in the air. For example, at an altitude above 5000m, there is 50% less oxygen than at sea level. Therefore, our body needs many days to adapt to an environment with less oxygen. Itineraries generally allow sufficient time to acclimatize. For a safe trek, it is essential to allow sufficient time for acclimatization. Sensible planning is therefore required to minimize the risk of AMS. Mild headaches, fever, loss of appetite, or stomach disorders are symptoms of AMS.
