Manaslu Base Camp Larke Pass Trek – 15 Days
Based on 60 reviews
The 15-Day Manaslu Base Camp Larke Pass Trek takes you deep into the Manaslu region of Nepal, combining the classic Manaslu Circuit Trek with a visit to the majestic Manaslu Base Camp (4,800 m). Along the way, you will pass through remote local villages, visit the historic Pungyen Gompa, take a side trip toward the Tibet border from Samdo, and cross the high Himalayan pass of Larkya La (5,106 m).
The route follows the Budhi Gandaki valley in the lower region, then continues through Tsum and Nubri in the middle and upper areas, offering a well-balanced itinerary through the heart of the Manaslu region. Along the trail, you will enjoy stunning mountain views, including majestic Mount Manaslu (8,163 m), experience Tibetan-influenced local culture, and walk one of the most scenic off-the-beaten-path trails in central-west Nepal.
This is a physically demanding trek, with long walking days and high-altitude terrain, making it best suited for trekkers with some prior hiking experience who are ready for a moderate-to-difficult Himalayan adventure in Nepal. Since Manaslu is a restricted region of Nepal, trekkers must obtain a Restricted Area Permit (RAP) and trek with a licensed guide

Private VehicleOverview of Manaslu Base Camp Larke Pass Trek – 15 Days
The 15-Day Manaslu Base Camp Larke Pass Trek is a carefully paced Himalayan adventure that takes place in the Manaslu region of Nepal. It combines demanding high-altitude walking with remote mountain scenery, Buddhist culture, and thrilling mountain pass crossing. You could stand beneath Mount Manaslu (8,163 m), cross a 5,106 meters Himalayan pass, and experience Tibetan-influenced villages all in 15 days.
The trek circles the Earth’s 8th-highest peak (Manaslu), similar as the Manaslu circuit trek and takes you to its majestic base at 4,800 meters. You will walk roughly 150-177 km. starting in subtropical farmland around 869 meters, the trail reaches above 5,000 meters at Larke La Pass.
Being a restricted zone, Manaslu trek route requires a special Restricted Area Permit (RAP) and a licensed guide. It means you can’t trek independently in the region of Manaslu. That restriction is exactly why the trail is quiet, teahouses are simple, and the local culture is less affected by mass tourism. For trekkers, it creates a more remote and less commercial Himalayan experience with the raw beauty of the Manaslu circuit region.
While it is not a mountaineering adventure, the trek is quite physically strenuous owing to the long trekking days, rough terrain and high altitude. It is a great option for well-prepared trekkers looking for an adventurous Himalayan experience on the less touristic trail. Via off the beaten paths, you will explore the isolated wilderness of the Manaslu region during Manaslu Base Camp Larke Pass Trek journey.
Who is this Manaslu Adventure for?
The trek to the Manaslu Base Camp and Larke (Larkya) La Pass is ideal for individuals who are able to hike for 6 to 8 hours consecutively each day and are prepared for heights of over 5,000 meters. There are no prior mountaineering experiences required. But it is good if you can deal with steep climbs, uneven terrain, long descents and simple tea house facilities.
An individual who frequently participates in hiking, running, cycling and long-distance walking will be able to train properly for this trek. Prior experience at high altitude is preferred along with having proper acclimatization plans.
If you are looking for a holiday trip with short walking distances and hotel accommodation at night, this is not an ideal trip for you. The Larkya La crossing can be physically demanding and weather can force changes to the schedule.
The Manaslu Base Camp 15 days is an appropriate option if you are looking for a quieter, off the beaten trekking experience than the hectic areas of Everest and Annapurna.
Age alone does not determine suitability. Physical fitness, experience in treks, health history, and adaptation to height are the major considerations. Any individual with medical conditions that might impact trekking at height needs to consult a doctor before departure for the trip.
Manaslu Base Camp Larke Pass Trek Difficulty
The trek to Manaslu Base Camp Larke Pass is a moderately tough high altitude journey. It requires good physical fitness and thorough preparation. You should have the capacity to endure long days of walking on demanding mountain paths. The altitude of the Manaslu Base Camp (4,800 m) and Larkya La Pass (5,106 m) is where cold weather, snow, wind and low oxygen levels can make the day difficult.
You should be able to walk for approximately 6-8 hours daily, often on rugged terrain. You don’t need any mountaineering or technical climbing experience on this trek but having previous experience with multiple days of trekking is highly beneficial. Cardiovascular conditioning, uphill hiking, and weight training in the weeks prior to the trek are recommended.
Besides, good acclimatization is equally important. Our guides will pay attention to your health condition, control the pace if necessary and assist in altitude management.
Exploring Manaslu Base Camp, Pungyen Gompa, and the Tibet Border
Trekking to Manaslu Base Camp, exploring Pungyen Gompa, and visiting the Tibet border are the main highlights of this Manaslu trek. You will experience the region’s traditional religious culture and dramatic mountain scenery along the way, with plenty of time to enjoy the raw beauty and landscape of the upper Manaslu region.
Trekking to Manaslu Base Camp is a high-altitude day hike from Sama Gaun, rather than an overnight stay at Base Camp. A typical route ascends from Sama Gaun (around 3,530 m) up to Birendra Lake and the area near the Manaslu glacier, reaching an elevation of about 4,800 m before returning to Sama Gaun.
As you climb higher, expect increasingly rugged trails, with rocky sections, glacial terrain, exposed slopes, and thinner air. The reward is the scenery, you get closer views of Manaslu and the surrounding Himalayan peaks with every step.
The return to Sama Gaun is an essential part of the acclimatization plan, sleeping at around 3,530 m gives your body time to recover from the day’s high-altitude exposure. Don’t judge the difficulty by distance alone, a 14 km round trip at 4,000–4,800 m can be far more demanding than the same distance at lower elevations.
Likewise, the hike from Shyala village to Pungyen (Pung Gyen) Gompa is a demanding climb through rocky, narrow sections, with an easier, more gradual stretch near the end. Pungyen Gompa is an old, sacred Buddhist monastery built in the early 17th century, located at approximately 4,000 m on the southwest side of the Manaslu massif. The hike offers stunning views of the upper Manaslu region, including Mount Manaslu, Himal Chuli, Ngadi Chuli, Naike Peak, and more.
The day trip to the Tibet border from Samdo is another rewarding addition to the Manaslu Base Camp Larke Pass Trek. The hike is challenging, given the high altitude above 4,000 m, but rewards trekkers with scenic mountain and valley views, along with the chance to spot local wildlife. Since there are no settlements along this route, be sure to carry snacks, food, and water with you.

Itinerary Overview of Manaslu Base Camp Larke Pass Trek – 15 Days
The Manaslu Base Camp Larke Pass Trek – 15 Days, follows an anti-clockwise circuit. Starting from Kathmandu to Machha Khola, the trip goes through the Budhi Gandaki Valley, over Larkya La and back to Kathmandu via Dharapani and Besisahar.
The walking part of the journey starts from Machha Khola and goes uphill all the way to Jagat, Deng, Namrung, Shyala and Sama Gaun, Samdo, Dharmashala and Bhimtang. The landscape changes from lush lower valleys to rugged alpine terrain as you gain elevation.
Once in Sama Gaun, the itinerary takes a dedicated side trip to Manaslu Base Camp before looping back to the village. Then you proceed on to Samdo and Dharmashala. Here you prepare for the trek’s most demanding day, crossing Larkya La Pass and descending to Bimthang (also spelled as Bhimtang).
After the Larkya La pass, the trail gradually drops. The landscapes get increasingly green. The descent ends in Gowa (also spelled Gho or Goa – a small village located in between Manaslu and Annapurna region). From Goa, the road journey brings the trek back toward Besisahar and then Kathmandu, completing the 15-day Manaslu circuit.

Despite the moderate elevation, the day can be challenging due to the several ascents and descents of the trails, with some old landslide part to cross.

On the way, you walk through forests and small villages, crossing suspension bridges above the Budhi Gandaki River and few other smaller rivers. You may observe many mani walls, chortens and Buddhist prayer flags as Tibetan cultural influence becomes stronger. After crossing a long suspension bridge, we you will on the other side of the river, then follow the long walk though the forests and narrow valley.

The day marks the beginning of significant elevation gain in the trek. The route is not continuously steep, but repeated climbs make the day physically demanding.
The vegetation also starts changing as you rise up, with more pines, firs and rhododendrons. The last part of the walking is difficult as you need to climb steep uphill to the village. Namrung is a good place to rest with views of the Himalayan Mountains on clear days.

After Lho, the route goes through pine and rhododendron forests, and finally opens up to the exte
nsive valley of Shyala. The last stretch might feel steep, especially after several days of trekking but the relatively short distance makes it an easier day than the long lower-valley stages.
The views at Shyala, which is 3,500 m high, are impressive, with the surrounding mountain scenery of the Manaslu range and the holy monastery near the village.

Breakfast will be served in Shyala, then you begin your journey out of the village by taking the side trail leading to Pungyen Gompa. At first, you begin climbing up through open alpine terrain, with Mount Manaslu, Himalchuli, Ngadi Chuli and the glaciers becoming more visible. The trail starts to become steeper as you move to higher pastures and the glacier zone.
Pungyen Gompa is located in the peaceful mountainous area off the main trail. There will be enough time to explore the monastery and enjoy the close view of Mount Manaslu. Additionally, this hike is ideal for acclimatization as you go up during the day and sleep lower down in the evening.
Later, after visiting the monastery and exploring the surroundings, you head back to the trail that leads to Samagaun. You will walk down through the yak pastures and the rocky terrain until the valley of the village comes into sight.

This is one of the toughest but most enjoyable days on the Manaslu Base Camp Trek. Leaving early from Samagaun, you will make your way to the Birendra Lake through steeper mountain terrain all the way to Manaslu Base Camp.
The route gains roughly 1,270 m in elevation and the hike will be tougher due to the thinner atmosphere rather than simply by the distance alone.
As the altitude increases, you get better views of Mount Manaslu and the Manaslu Glacier, among others. Birendra Lake is the most notable landmark during this trek, and the area leading to the Base Camp can be steep, rough and snowy depending on the season.
You rest and explore at the Base Camp for a short time before retracing your steps back to Sama Gaun. Throughout the day, your guide will keep track of your pace and physical condition. You will have another overnight stay in Sama Gaun at the same guesthouse.

Day 09: Trek from Samagaun to Samdo Village (3,860M|12,660Ft), Distance: Approximately 7 Km, Duration: 3-4 Hours
We are on day 9 of the 15 days Manaslu trek itinerary. Although it is a short trekking day, the altitude will require you to walk steadily and slowly.
The route leads through the valley of the Budhi Gandaki River across the open alpine meadows and yak pastures. Trees gradually disappear because the route passes above the tree line.
Long mani walls and the crossing of the Budhi Gandaki River precede the last gentle rise to the village of Samdo. The scenery around is much more barren and rocky than in the lower part of the Manaslu Circuit trek, with Manaslu and other Himalayan peaks in sight.
Samdo is an old settlement influenced by Tibetan architecture situated near the border of Nepal and Tibet. Arriving there, you may have lunch and relax a little at the teahouse and enjoy the surroundings.

Day 10: Acclimatization Day, Day Trip to Tibet Border Viewpoint (4,800-5,000M), Distance: Approximately 10 - 12 Km Round Trip, Duration: 7-8 Hours
It is an important acclimatization day in Samdo prior to going to Dharmasala via Larkya La Pass. Rather than simply resting, you take a gradual day hike to the Nepal-Tibet border. The walk is along the ancient trans-Himalayan trade route across grassy yak pastures and stony terrain.
As you ascend higher, the scenery becomes increasingly spectacular with Samdo Glacier, Himalayan Mountains all around and the alpine valleys extending towards Tibet. This is also one of the locations where Himalayan animals like blue sheep and marmots are likely to be spotted.
Following your visit to the viewpoint, you come down the same trail back to Samdo. This process aids in getting your body used to higher altitudes. You then rest, hydrate and prepare for tomorrow’s trek to Dharmashala.

Day 11: Trek from Samdo To Dharmashala (4,460M|14,630Ft), Distance: 6-7 Km, Duration: 5 Hours
This is day eleven of the Manaslu Base Camp Larke Pass Trek itinerary. It is a short but important section of the trek. You make your way from Samdo to Dharmasala (also called Larkya Phedi). With the increasing altitude along this route, the hike is tougher than its distance implies.
You will begin by descending to the Budhi Gandaki River where you cross a wooden bridge. You then ascend gradually to a dry and rocky terrain with little vegetation. This is when you encounter the seasonal market of Larkya Bazaar which was historically linked with the Tibet trade route. Further up, you can enjoy views of Larkya Glacier and surrounding peaks.
Dharmasala is not really a mountain village but a basic high altitude settlement. There are not many lodging options here and you will only get simple shared rooms and basic dining areas. Take a break after your lunch, hydrate yourself, get some rest and get ready for tomorrow’s Larkya La Pass hike. Your guide will brief you about the early start and trail conditions.

This day is considered the hardest one on the Manaslu Base Camp Circuit Trek. You will start early morning today, around 4:00 AM, since it will become harder to travel through the pass in case of changes in weather conditions in the afternoon.
You will walk across rocks and glacial terrain towards the Larkya Glacier. As the altitude rises, the temperature gets colder, and the air thinner. The ascent to Larkya La Pass is slow and demanding.
The top of this pass treats you to the panorama of the Himalayan mountains like Himlung Himal, Larkya Peak, Cheo Himal, Kang Guru, Annapurna II and more. The prayer flags around the pass flutter in the mountain breeze which adds to a spiritual and serene atmosphere of this high-altitude landscape.
After a short break and celebration at the top, you will start the long descent to Bimthang. Some sections can be loose, snowy or slippery, need to be careful. The scenery changes gradually from Barren Mountain to green alpine meadows. Once in Bimthang, you will have a rest after one of the hardest days of the trek.

Day 13: Trek from Bimthang to Goa (Gowa) Village (2,515M|8,250Ft), Distance: 15 Km, Duration: 6-7 Hours
This is another easy part of the Manaslu Circuit Trek that follows the downhill route after the previous strenuous crossing of Larkya La. The distance is medium, but you will be descending, which means that your knee joints will feel the effect after yesterday’s long hike.
The route goes along Dudh Khola, which is surrounded by forested slopes, pastures, and some small villages. With decreasing altitude, you see the changes from the bare mountains and the chilly climate of Larkya La into the warm, green valleys. Besides, you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Manaslu massif while going down.
After passing places like Yak Kharka and Karche, you will come to the village of Goa (Gho). It is a traditional Gurung settlement with some teahouses where you can have a rest.

Day 14: Drive from Goa to Kathmandu via Besisahar, Distance: Approximately 240 Km, Duration: 8-10 Hours
After breakfast, you start your journey back towards Kathmandu via the road marking the end of the Manaslu trek. The road passes along the Marshyangdi River, through the mountain valleys until you reach Besisahar. After leaving Besisahar, the journey will continue through the main road towards Kathmandu.
Dharapani to Besisahar follows a mountain road which can be bumpy in some places. During the drive, you will come across several villages, terraces, waterfalls, and valleys, and the scenery will rapidly change from mountains to lower hills.
Besisahar is a transport hub where there will be some changes in your vehicle arrangement for the further part of the drive towards Kathmandu. After Besisahar, the road will become easy, but traffic will be heavier around the Kathmandu Valley area.
You should expect to reach Kathmandu in the late afternoon or evening. After two weeks in the mountains, this is a good time to rest, enjoy proper shower and a comfortable evening in the city.

Trip Information
Best Season for the Manaslu Base Camp Larke Pass Trek
Spring (March – May) and autumn (September – November) are the best seasons for trekking in Nepal and the Manaslu Circuit Trek due to good weather and better visibility conditions.
Autumn, particularly in October and November are the best month altogether. The atmosphere is clean after the monsoon, the skies are often clearer and there are better conditions to climb through the high-altitude parts. Spring, especially April to May is more preferred for the rhododendrons’ blossom, warmer temperatures, and pleasant trekking conditions.
Summer/Monsoon (June – August) is not a good season due to heavy rains which can make lower trails muddy. There are also risks of landslides and poor mountain visibility due to the clouds. Winter (December – February) is a very cold season with snow at higher elevations, making the Larkya La section more challenging.
For the 15-day Manaslu Base Camp Trek, October-November is the safest all-round choice for most trekkers, while March-April is the best spring alternative.
Permits Required and Cost for the Manaslu Base Camp Larke Pass Trek
The Manaslu region is a restricted area in Nepal, so trekkers need three separate permits to do the Manaslu Base Camp Larke Pass Trek: the Manaslu Restricted Area Permit (RAP), the Manaslu Conservation Area Permit (MCAP), and the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP). Individual trekkers cannot apply for RAP permits on your own, a registered Nepal trekking agency must arrange them on your behalf.
Manaslu Restricted Area Permit (RAP)
This is the main permit for the restricted section of the trek, checked at entry points like Jagat. Its cost depends on the season and how many days you spend inside the restricted area:
- September to November (autumn, peak season): USD 100 per person for the first 7 days, then USD 15 per person for each additional day.
- December to August (winter, spring, and summer): USD 75 per person for the first 7 days, then USD 10 per person for each additional day.
2026 Update Solo Trekkers Allowed: Until March 2026, at least two trekkers had to apply for the RAP together. Nepal’s Department of Immigration has since removed this rule, so solo travelers can now apply for the permit through a registered Nepal agency. A licensed guide from a registered trekking agency is still required by law, this hasn’t changed. You still cannot trek Manaslu independently, with or without a companion.
Manaslu Conservation Area Permit (MCAP)
This covers the conservation area around the Manaslu massif. It’s a one-time fee, not charged per day:
- Foreign nationals: NPR 3,000 per person (roughly USD 20-21 at current exchange rates)
- SAARC nationals: NPR 1,000 per person (roughly USD 7)
Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP)
Many trekkers are surprised this permit is needed for a Manaslu trek. It’s required because the route doesn’t stay inside the Manaslu region the whole way, after crossing Larkya La Pass, the trail descends through Bimthang and Dharapani, both inside the Annapurna Conservation Area. The cost is the same as MCAP:
- Foreign nationals: NPR 3,000 per person (roughly USD 20-21)
- SAARC nationals: NPR 1,000 per person (roughly USD 7)
Manaslu Trek Permit costs at a Glance
| Permit | Foreign Nationals | SAARC Nationals |
| RAP (Sept-Nov, first 7 days) | USD 100 + USD 15/extra day | USD 100 + USD 15/extra day |
| RAP (Dec-Aug, first 7 days) | USD 75 + USD 10/extra day | USD 75 + USD 10/extra day |
| MCAP (one-time) | NPR 3,000 (USD 20-21) | NPR 1,000 (USD 7) |
| ACAP (one-time) | NPR 3,000 (USD 20-21) | NPR 1,000 (USD 7) |
Note: The RAP rate does not change by nationality. Only MCAP and ACAP offer a SAARC discount.
Training and Physical Preparation for Manaslu Base Camp Trek
It is recommended to begin exercising at least 8–12 weeks before embarking on the trek to the Manaslu Base Camp and Larkya La Pass. It is necessary to prepare yourself for endurance, hill walking, leg muscles and carrying a daypack.
Cardio exercises like brisk walking, running, cycling, stair climbing, or uphill hiking should be done 3-4 times a week. Strength exercises aimed at training quads, hamstrings, calves, glutes, and core should be done twice or three times. Starting from four weeks before departure, weekend hiking and carrying the backpack that will be worn during the trek should be included.
Nevertheless, fitness does not guarantee avoiding altitude sickness. In order to get accustomed to high elevation, gradual ascent and avoiding an increase in sleeping elevation of more than 500 m per day above 3,000 m are recommended during the trek.
The 15-day trekking period requires endurance rather than speed. You don’t need climbing skills but should be prepared for steep paths, rough terrain, long downhill routes and multiple days of continuous hiking.
Altitude Sickness, Acclimatization and Safety on Manaslu Circuit Trek
The signs of altitude sickness could arise from an altitude of 2,500 meters and above. Symptoms include headache, nausea, dizziness, unusual fatigue, and poor appetite.
The most effective prevention is a gradual ascent combined with proper acclimatization. Starting at 3,000 m of height, trekkers should normally ascend no higher than 500 m of sleeping altitude each day and have one extra acclimatization day for every three to four days of ascending.
While trekking, make sure that you walk at a consistent pace without forcing yourself to move fast just to be able to catch up with other trekkers. Drink adequate water and alert your guide immediately if you feel any symptoms of AMS. If symptoms get worse, stop ascending.
Our Manaslu Circuit trekking itinerary involves acclimatization at Sama Gaun and Samdo villages, including a daytime hike toward the Tibet border before returning to sleep at Samdo. Besides, your guides will observe your physical state, pace and acclimatization status in the high altitude area. This helps ensure a safer and more comfortable trekking experience.
Manaslu Base Camp Larke Pass Trek Success Rate
As there is no exact success rate in percentage terms for the Manaslu Base Camp Trek. It can be observed from the facts that the total number of trekkers who went into the Manaslu Restricted Area was 14,720 in 2025. But this doesn’t give the details of how many actually completed the trek.
For a fit trekker with a well planned itinerary and proper acclimatization, trekking the Manaslu region is achievable. Preparation is important. Consistent uphill walking, cardiovascular conditioning, steady pacing, sufficient rest and adequate acclimatization may increase your probability of finishing the 15 day Manaslu trek successfully.
Our guides also watch out for your health, the weather and trail conditions. If altitude sickness or bad weather creates a serious risk, safety comes before reaching the next destination.
How the Manaslu Base Camp Larke Pass Trek Operates
The trek to Manaslu Base Camp and Manaslu circuit operates as a guided, permit-controlled teahouse trek. It involves road transport both at the beginning and at the end of the trek. Acclimatization is incorporated into the high altitude sections. Foreign trekkers cannot just reach Machha Khola and start the trek on their own.
Prior to the trek, we will arrange the necessary Manaslu trek permit and paperwork through your passport information. So you do not need to visit any governmental offices personally. A licensed guide assists the trekker in navigation, accommodation, food and altitude adjustment.
You will stay at teahouses and lodges located along the way on your trek. The schedule incorporates time for acclimatization before entering the high areas such as the day trip to Manaslu Base Camp and the night spent in Dharmasala. Road transportation is used to connect Kathmandu with the trekking area at the start and return journey at the end.
FAQs for Manaslu Base Camp Larke Pass Trek – 15 Days
General
Some modifications of the itinerary are possible depending on permits, accommodation arrangements, weather conditions, road conditions and your fitness level. Your travel schedule must have some flexibility in order to accommodate possible delays and changes.
There are several trekking packages designed by Explore Vision Nepal for trekking in the Manaslu region.
- Manaslu circuit trek – 14 Days
- Tsum Valley Trek – 14 Days
- Manaslu Circuit With Tsum Valley Trek – 20 Days
- Manaslu Base Camp Larke Pass Trek – 15 Days
Permits
You need three permits to trek in the Manaslu region: the Manaslu Restricted Area Permit (RAP), the Manaslu Conservation Area Permit (MCAP), and the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP). The RAP is required because Manaslu is a restricted area, and it costs USD 100 for the first 7 days in autumn (September–November) or USD 75 for the first 7 days the rest of the year, plus a daily fee after that. MCAP and ACAP are one-time fees of NPR 3,000 each for foreign nationals.
You can’t apply for these permits yourself — a registered Nepal trekking agency has to arrange them on your behalf, along with a licensed guide.
Yes. Until March 2026, the Manaslu Restricted Area Permit could only be issued to groups of two or more trekkers. Nepal’s Department of Immigration has since removed that rule, so solo travelers can now apply for the permit on their own. This doesn’t mean fully independent trekking is allowed, though, you still need a licensed guide and a registered trekking agency to arrange your permits and accompany you on the route, just as before.
At checkpoints along the route, including Jagat, Philim, and Samagaun and Dharapani. Carry your passport and permit copies with you at all times.
Yes, permit fees and rules can change with little notice. Confirm current prices with your agency before booking.
Insurance & Visa
Yes, it is highly recommended that you take travel insurance. Your insurance must include coverage for trekking at high altitudes. You should check the altitude and trekking activity mentioned in your policy instead of relying on a general travel insurance coverage. Moreover, travel insurance is most required to issue the Restricted Area Permit.
Passport, insurance documentation, emergency contact list, personal medicine, first aid kit, water purification method, power bank and some money for your own purposes are essential items to take along. Your guide should also have access to your insurance and emergency documentation.
Yes, as of the 2026 rule change, you can apply for the permit as a solo traveler. You still need a licensed guide and a registered agency to arrange your permits.
Guides & Support Staff
No, cannot do trekking in Manaslu region without a guide. You should trek with a licensed guide in the Manaslu.
A realistic baggage allowance would be something in the range of 10-15 kg for your main backpack which will be carried by your porter. You can keep your daily essentials and valuables in a small daypack, which you will carry yourself throughout the trek.
It is not necessary for all trekkers to have a porter, but having one certainly helps, especially for this long 15 days journey. The trek would become more comfortable with a porter, particularly during the side trip to the Manaslu Base Camp and crossing of the Larkya La.
Accommodation and Facilities
The accommodation available at the Manaslu Trail route consists of basic mountain teahouses/lodges. The rooms are shared and simple and have a common area for dining. The facilities will reduce in availability and level of comfort with increasing altitude. So, you should not expect hotel level comfort. However, you will get private room in most places except at Dharmashala, you might have to share a room or tent with other trekkers at Dharmashala.
It is possible to find private rooms in many teahouses at lower and middle altitudes, but not everywhere. During the busy time of the year in high-altitude teahouses such as in Dharmasala, sharing accommodation is often necessary. Therefore, while we can request private rooms whenever possible, it cannot be guaranteed throughout the trail.
There are usually hot showers available in most of the teahouses, but that will depend on altitude and the teahouse you choose to stay at.
The bathing arrangements will be quite primitive in high altitude teahouses. There may not even be any showers available at all. It is advised that you pack wet wipes and a small towel to keep yourself clean when shower facilities are limited.
Food and Drinks
The teahouse menus usually have basic trekking food like Dal Bhat, noodles, fried rice, momos, soup, potato, eggs, porridge and Tibetan bread. Food variety will be limited with the increasing height. However, Dalbhat is always one of the most consistent foods while on the trail.
Yes, water will be available in all villages and teahouses en route the trek. You can get boiled or bottled water which usually costs you a few dollars per liter. It will be wise to purify natural water before consumption.
A reusable water bottle filled with boiled water from teahouses or treated with purification tablets is a practical choice and can reduce the need to buy bottled water.
Health & Safety
Your guide will first analyze the situation and determine whether you require rest, going down, medical attention, or evacuation. Considering the remoteness of the upper Manaslu region, it is recommended that you have travel insurance covering high-altitude trekking and helicopter evacuation before the trek.
The availability of hospitals and pharmacies in the Manaslu Trekking area is less than in Kathmandu. You are advised to carry your own medications and a basic first aid box for prompt response to minor injuries and illness.
Besides, your guide will be aware of how to handle typical trekking problems and where the nearest available medical support is.
Booking & Payment
You should make a 15% deposit, which will be made to ensure your booking with us – Explore Vision Nepal. The balance amount can be paid either after you come to Nepal or prior to the start of the trek.
The advance payment is non-refundable once your trek is confirmed. It is used to secure arrangements for your trip.
Yes, it is always possible to cancel the trip if necessary. In case you cancel the booking, you will not get the 15% deposit back. But you can transfer it to some other tour or trek in the future.
Please contact Explore Vision Nepal immediately. Rescheduling is often a more viable alternative to canceling since your deposit of 15% may apply to another trip.
Transportation & Flight
Yes, Machha Khola is the most common starting point of the Manaslu trekking trail. The road beyond Arughat is quite rough and may include unpaved mountain roads. So, the trip takes about 8-10 hours under favorable road conditions and can take more time if conditions are poor.
The road journey from Kathmandu to Machha Khola could be tiring. This is due to the lengthy drives and poor quality of the roads.
The first part of the journey follows paved highways but the roads become progressively narrow, rugged and bumpy beyond Arughat. Dust, mud, landslides and construction work are possible, which may delay travel.
It is possible now that some low altitude zones become accessible with road. But using vehicles too far can ruin the trekking experience and exclude important walking sections. The guide checks current road conditions and decides whether a particular road section is practical and safe.
Connectivity & Transaction
There are teahouses that have internet facilities. However, you should not expect a consistent or fast internet connection. The higher you get the weaker and more unavailable the internet connection will be. Therefore, it is best to be prepared for limited connectivity during the trek.
There are areas along the trail where you can receive network signals. However, there are certain gaps with regard to mobile network signals in remote parts and higher altitude areas. The mobile network coverage provided by Nepal Telecom and NCELL is usually helpful in certain parts of Manaslu trekking. But you should be prepared for periods without a signal.
Yes, almost all the teahouses have the facility to charge phones and cameras. However, it is available at an additional cost. At higher altitudes, charging may not always be available. Thus, a 10,000 – 20,000 mAh power bank will be a great choice as a useful backup, especially for the remote upper section.
You must not depend on any ATMs after reaching the region for trekking. It is better to make a withdrawal of sufficient Nepalese rupees in Kathmandu prior to your trip since banking transactions and card payments are limited along the route.
