An adventurous trip across the Manaslu Conservation Area and the foothills of the Manaslu range is known as the Manaslu Base Camp Trek. The Manaslu region is an ancient valley that has been well-known for centuries and is found in the district of Gorkha’s northern part. Traveling through this area, which is brimming with breathtaking scenery and adventure, also gives you the chance to experience the Nubri and Tibetan communities’ cultures and traditions. The walk is worthwhile because it offers breathtaking vistas of the Mansiri Himalayas as well as glimpses of glaciers, waterfalls, and raging rivers.
Your 16-day journey to Manaslu Base Camp Trek starts when you land in Kathmandu. The following day, you tour Kathmandu, a stunning city with a diverse culture. Some of the World Heritage Sites that you will see are Boudhanath, Pashupatinath, Swayambhunath, and the Kathmandu Durbar Square. As you travel from Kathmandu to Soti Khola in the Rasuwa District, the Manaslu experience begins. You ascend a ridgeline to Maccha Khola and then reach Jagat while trekking through a sal and rhododendron forest. After leaving Jagat, you are greeted by a stunning view of the mountains, which leads you to settlements with Tibetan cultural influences. After passing through Deng and Namrung, you will arrive in Samagaon. After staying at Samagaon for a day, you will hike to Manaslu Base Camp. You reach the Manaslu Base Camp by following the trail through a forest, climbing steeply up a slope and then onto a moraine. From here, you can see Manaslu (8163m) up close. After a little interval, you return to Samagaon and go to Machha Khola, passing Namrung, Deng, and Jagat en route. You will walk from Machha Khola to Arughat, where the expedition comes to a finish. The optimum times to go through this area are from September to December and from February to May.

The trail features high ascents and descents as well as harsh terrain. Trekkers can expect long, hard days of walking and acclimating to high altitudes. The region’s rural and underdeveloped nature adds to the challenge. Unpredictable weather conditions, such as severe rain and snowfall, can also make trekking difficult.

Depending on the itinerary and acclimatization plan, the average altitude increase on the Manaslu Base Camp Trek can vary. Trekkers should expect an average height rise of 500 to 800 meters (1,640 to 2,625 feet) each day as a rough estimate. The trip begins in Soti Khola, which is located at an elevation of around 700 meters (2,300 feet) above sea level.

The trek’s highest point is the Larkya La Pass, which stands at 5,160 meters (16,930 ft).
Yes, altitude sickness is a possibility during the Manaslu Base Camp Trek. The climb reaches high heights, and due to the quick ascent, trekkers may face symptoms of altitude sickness. Altitude sickness can include moderate symptoms such as headache, nausea, and exhaustion, as well as more severe disorders that can be fatal.
To reduce the risk, it is critical to adequately acclimate by having rest days and gentle ascents in the schedule. It is critical to stay hydrated, move at a calm and steady pace, and listen to your body. It is also recommended that you check with a healthcare practitioner and consider taking suitable medicine, such as Diamox, under their supervision to help prevent or lessen the symptoms of altitude sickness. Trekking with Access the Asia Treks and having an expert guide can provide essential support and guidance in reducing altitude-related dangers.
