Narender from Dubai. The Manaslu Circuit Trek fulfills your desire to travel around the typical trekking routes around remote Nepal. The trek will move along the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) and Manaslu Conservation Area Project (MCAP) areas. The regions around Manaslu are rich in natural beauty with beautifully built villages in the natural setting surrounded by field, forests, and hills with great Himalayan peaks in the background beautifying the whole picture. Like other remote treks, the Manaslu circuit trek offers all the fun, excitement and thrill of trekking in Nepal. But unlike other trails, the trails around this region are less traveled so you will get to enjoy the quite time do not have to encounter a huge crowd of people along the way. You will be walking through rural villages and get to observe their culture and lifestyle from close. Visiting the Gompas along the trek offers you best chance to get a closer look at Buddhist religious and cultural practices. The warm hospitality you will receive from the Nepalese people at the teahouses and lodges along the journey is heart-warming. People still live traditional lifestyle around this region and remain detached from the modernity as the villages here are still far from development. The major highlight of this trek is climbing up to the Larke La pass through the glacial trail. You will reach the highest point at 5,160m with the great view of glaciers and majestic peaks surrounding around. In addition, this trek offers you a whole lot of exciting experiences along the journey. The walk through the forest, alongside the riverbank, atop a hill, through the rugged terrain, all these give you the amazing experience of walking through the wild and getting to know Nepal with the closest view. Trip Overwiew We acknowledge that you are joining us for the adventure trip in Himalayan region of Nepal, where weather conditions, health, and fitness of the member or unexpected natural disaster can compel us to change the itinerary and if so you have to understand it but we would try our best to keep the suggested itinerary as per the original schedule. Your safety and satisfaction of the trip is our paramount concern while traveling with Aiming Adventure and we ensure you our best team, logistics, professional services to make sure that you would have an amazing trip of the lifetime with us. Also note that our trip leader deserved the final decision if the trip has to amend, change the route or cancel due to the extreme conditions for the safety precaution. However, he will try his best to ensure that the trip runs according to the stated plan but be prepared for flexibility if necessary. Aiming Adventure suggests you get travel insurance that covers all the added expenses that might result due to various health issues, injuries or accidents (together with the air ambulance, helicopter rescue, and other treatment costs). Also, make sure that your insurance policy covers all the extra activities that you are planning to accomplish throughout your stay in Nepal. In addition to this, the policy should also cover death, misplaced luggage, theft and liability, cancellations, medical treatment (counting hospital charges, cost of the medicine, doctor’s fees) as well as repatriation cost. Most of the days while trekking in Nepal takes you above an altitude of 3000m, it is kindly requested to ensure that your insurance policy covers treks that go over 4000m. Buying insurance is highly recommended. Trekking in Nepal is physically tougher in some of the regions. However, no previous trekking experienced is required but if you have, it is a great plus point. Trekking in Nepal is a non-technical walk. The highest height you would reach on your trip is 5,160m/ 16,924 ft from sea level. The walk involves lots of ups and downhill takes you through local villages, farming lands, terraces, and riverside but as long as you have a strength of walking for 4 to 6 hours a day, you are qualified for the trek. However, you should be having moderate health and fitness. We strongly suggest travelers consult with your medical doctor before traveling and do the regular checkup of your health and report us while booking a trip with us. A part of the health and fitness, the participant must be having a positive attitude and strong determination for the successful trip. AMS (acute mountain sickness) is a serious issue. It is the result of the failure of the body to adapt to high altitudes and can affect anyone, regardless of age or fitness. It usually occurs above 2,500m and the likelihood of being affected increases as you ascend. The way to reduce the effects of altitude is to ascend slowly, 300 meters per day above 3,000 meters until you have acclimatized. Poor acclimatization results in a headache, nausea, sleeplessness, difficulty breathing and swelling of fingers and glands. The only cure for AMS is to descend to a lower altitude and your guide’s decision on this matter is final. Although our routes are carefully planned to allow for proper acclimatization you may feel some effects of altitude for the first few days or at higher altitudes. Breathlessness, lethargy and mild headaches are not uncommon and generally decrease as your body adjusts. Maintaining adequate fluid intake is essential. Please advise your guide if you feel more severe symptoms and do not medicate yourself without discussing it with them first.
