Licensed and Experienced Guides

Manaslu is a remote and challenging trekking destination, requiring expert navigation and knowledge of the terrain. Our licensed guides are highly experienced in the region, providing valuable insights into the local culture, geography, and trekking conditions. They are fluent in English and often have a deep understanding of the area’s Tibetan-influenced villages, historical sites, and monasteries.

Permit Management

Manaslu is a restricted trekking region, and entering it requires several permits:

• Manaslu Restricted Area Permit (RAP): This special permit is mandatory and allows access to the restricted areas around the Manaslu region. It costs around USD 100 for the first 7 days, with an additional USD 15 for each extra day.
• Manaslu Conservation Area Permit (MCAP): Trekkers need this permit to enter the conservation area, with a fee of NPR 3,000 (approx. USD 25).
• Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP): Once you cross Larkya La Pass into the Annapurna region, this permit is required. The cost is also NPR 3,000 (approx. USD 25).

Our service takes care of the entire permit process, saving you the hassle of dealing with paperwork. We ensure that all necessary documents are obtained before you begin your trek, so you can focus on enjoying the journey.

Trekking with Compliance

The Manaslu region has strict regulations for trekking due to its status as a restricted area. Solo trekking is not allowed; trekkers must be part of a registered group and accompanied by a licensed guide. Our service ensures compliance with these rules, providing the necessary documentation and professional support. This not only ensures your safety but also helps preserve the fragile ecosystem and cultural heritage of the area.

Tailored Itineraries

Our guides are adept at adjusting itineraries based on your preferences, pace, and acclimatization needs. We offer customized trekking plans to suit both experienced trekkers and those new to high-altitude trekking. Whether you want to spend more time exploring Tibetan monasteries, acclimatize slowly, or take alternative routes, our guides will adapt accordingly.

High-Altitude Preparation and Safety

The Manaslu Circuit reaches altitudes above 5,000 meters, with Larkya La Pass standing at 5,160 meters. High-altitude trekking comes with risks like altitude sickness, and our guides are trained to handle such situations, ensuring you acclimatize properly and take necessary precautions. They are well-equipped with the knowledge and tools to assist in emergencies, including providing first aid or arranging for evacuation if needed.

Cultural Insight and Local Knowledge

Manaslu is rich in Tibetan culture, and trekking through this region offers a unique opportunity to explore traditional villages, ancient monasteries, and Tibetan Buddhist customs. Our guides, often local to the region, provide in-depth information on cultural practices, religious sites, and festivals, giving you an authentic experience.

Accommodation and Logistics

Our service also helps coordinate accommodations along the trek, ensuring you stay in comfortable tea houses offering basic amenities like food, hot showers, and clean beds. We handle all logistics, from meal arrangements to transportation, whether you’re starting your trek from Kathmandu or returning from Dharapani.
