    Manaslu Annapurna Circuit Trek Difficulty Level

    The Manaslu - Annapurna Circuit Trek is quite challenging. The strenuous level of difficulty of this journey is a result of the route's tremendous elevation. The area's highest pass, Thorung La, is situated along the hiking trail and rises to a height of 5416 meters. This part of the journey is so challenging that it is closed for most of the year due to the extreme cold and heavy snowfall. Additionally, when traveling, you always remain above 3000 meters. Some of the most challenging terrains, which are typically harsh, rocky, and steep, are traversed. Contrary to many other treks, this trek has an unalterable degree of difficulty. Although you have the option to forego some of the pathways, doing so would mean that you would lose out on the highlights of the experience. The only thing a trekker can do to prepare physically and mentally for the journey.

    You must have travel insurance for the Manaslu and Annapurna Circuit Trek since you will be trekking at a height of 3000 meters. Frighteningly expensive are medical emergencies and evacuations due to illness or injury. Therefore, we strongly advise purchasing travel insurance for everyone who books a trek with Green Valley Nepal Treks. We advise you to make a thorough decision when selecting coverage because certain insurers have certain limitations for dangerous travel. Before purchasing insurance, make sure your provider is prepared to cover all of the activities involved while on the trip and is aware of the Manaslu Circuit with Annapurna Circuit Trek itinerary you intend to follow. You must have emergency helicopter rescue and medical expense coverage with your insurance if you want to go hiking or mountain climbing in the Himalayas. Since all payments for deposits are non-refundable, check your insurance coverage to make sure that trip cancellation is covered.

    When the body cannot adjust to the low levels of oxygen and high air pressure found in high-altitude mountains, altitude sickness emerges.

Headaches, fatigue, nausea, shortness of breath, dizziness, lack of sleep or inability to sleep, loss of appetite, and other symptoms are associated with acute mountain sickness. To prevent altitude sickness during Annapurna Circuit Trek via Manaslu, take into account the following advice:

    • Keep yourself hydrated when hiking and stay away from alcohol because it dehydrates you.
    • Maintain a healthy diet throughout the trip.
    • Diamox, the most effective medicine for altitude sickness, should be brought along on the hike.
    • Don't hurry when hiking to a high altitude. You ought to walk carefully and slowly.
    • Before hiking at an elevation of more than 3,000 meters, acclimate appropriately.
    • If your body reveals any symptoms of altitude sickness, you must either stop immediately or lower some elevation.
    • Keeping yourself clean may also help you avoid altitude sickness.

      Manaslu-Annapurna Circuit with Three Other People

      I trekked the Manaslu-Annapurna Circuit with three other people. The way our guide led us along the woodland path and the charming villages was fantastic. He was well aware of his responsibilities, and we were left with just our highly qualified guides. The little towns and the stunning mountain vistas were like an open book with so much to learn. I enjoyed every minute of it. Our appreciation goes to Green Valley Nepal Treks for organizing such a fantastic adventure for us. I want to say hello and thank you to everyone. We would be happy to tell all of our close friends and other tourists about you.

      Manaslu Circuit with Annapurna Circuit Trek in August

      With the help of Green Valley Nepal Treks, I successfully finished my Manaslu Circuit with Annapurna Circuit Trek in August. Our tour leader joined me on my walk and was excellent—well-prepared, really helpful, and informed. After the trek, he gave us a tour of Kathmandu and assisted us with the remainder of our trip plans in Nepal. He gave us some incredible suggestions for things to do and restaurants to visit. He gave us a peek of the mountain inhabitants of Nepal throughout the trip. Really friendly and an excellent hiking leader! Highly suggested.

    • According to your budget, available time, and degree of fitness, we are willing to modify this package.

    • Of course not, you may only utilize in urban areas such as Pokhara and Kathmandu, not on the Trekking route. All you need while traveling outside of the city is cash, preferably in tiny denominations. Before you head to the highlands, kindly exchange your money for local Nepali rupees.

    • Hikers may get Wi-Fi at several guesthouses for a nominal fee. In lower hills, it could function properly, but in the mountains, the connection might not be reliable, making it difficult for hikers to use the internet anytime they need to.

    • You can drink water from a bottle, purified drinking water, or tap water. We advise you to purchase purified refill water from your tea house lodge. Depending on where you are, each refueling may only cost you a little fee. The price rises as you ascend in height.

    • There are no issues at all for vegetarians because lodges often provide vegetarian meals. Additionally, in order to prevent food poisoning, we constantly advise our clients to consume vegetarian meals. High-altitude meals that are not vegetarian are unsafe for the stomach.

    • The greatest height one can reach while trekking is at Thorong La Pass (5416m), which presents a significant challenge for thrill seekers.

    • The free storage is offered by the hotel in Kathmandu. Thus, you may leave all of your belongings that are not necessary for the walk at your hotel or in our office.
