Manaslu Luxury Trek - 17

Manaslu Luxury Trek Overview

The Manaslu Luxury Trek offers a more tranquil and personalized trekking experience, as it is less crowded than the well-known Everest Base Camp Trek and Annapurna Circuit Trek. Trekkers can experience a unique blend of luxury and adventure with the Manaslu Luxury Trek, which offers luxurious accommodations and amenities alongside the opportunity to explore Nepal's remote and breathtaking Manaslu region.

Beginning in the energetic capital city of Nepal, where you will stay in cozy three-star hotels and take in Kathmandu’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Manaslu Luxury Trek begins.  You will take a private vehicle from Kathmandu to Machha Khola the next day, heading north along the stunning Budi Gandaki River to the settlement of Deng. The trail starts wide before getting narrower as you get closer to the river valleys.

Along the way, you will come across high-altitude settlements that are thriving centers of Buddhist culture, with a majority of the residents being Tibetan or Gurung. You will encounter centuries-old stone homes with elaborate carvings, Buddhist stupas, and prayer wheels as you traverse Ghap, Namrung, Shyala, and Samagaun.

After passing Samdo and Dharamsala, you will arrive at Larkya La Pass (5,106m), one of the trek's highest locations and the journey's ultimate goal. The expansive vistas of deep valleys, snow-capped summits, and glaciers will be visible from this pass. You will witness the snow-capped splendor of Mount Manaslu and the neighboring peaks, including Himlung, Annapurna II, Kangguru Himal, Cheo Himal, Larkya Peak, and Gyaji Kang.

Yak Kharka, Goa, Dharapani, and Besisahar, which restore terraced farms and verdant valleys, are on your way downhill from Bimthang's grassy moraine area. The people who live here are farmers. They cultivate a range of crops, including potatoes, millet, barley, and lead a modest yet close-to-nature lifestyle.

Similarly, the Manaslu forests are home to a wealth of wildlife, including the Himalayan tahr, blue sheep, elusive musk deer, snow leopard, big cat, and Himalayan griffon vulture, among others. Even though these sightings are scarce, there is a greater chance of seeing them in their natural habitat if you go to Manaslu in the spring. Lower areas of Manaslu will be covered in vivid rhododendron blooms in shades of red, pink, and white if you trek there in the spring or autumn season.

How to get prepared for the Manaslu Luxury Trek?

• Physical Fitness: We at Green Valley Nepal Trek always suggest starting training at least 6 to 8 weeks before participating in the Manaslu Luxury trek. You need to focus on cardio (like hiking, cycling, running, and swimming), leg strength, and stamina. Practice walking with a loaded backpack and try hikes with gradual altitude gain if possible.
• Mental Preparation: Even though it's a luxury trek, keep in mind that you are heading to a remote and high-altitude region, so be ready for limited connectivity and unpredictable terrain. Embrace the peace, simplicity, and challenge of the mountains.
• Pack Smart, Not Heavy: While porters will carry most of your load, pack essentials like quality hiking boots, layers for changing weather, a good down jacket, gloves, sunscreen, and a reusable water bottle. You can take a look at a full packing list for trekking in the Manaslu region that is prepared by an expert from Green Valley Nepal Treks.
• Acclimatization: Even with luxury services, you will still be trekking above 5,000 meters. Choose an itinerary that includes proper acclimatization days and don’t rush. Stay hydrated and listen to your body to avoid altitude sickness.
• Invest in the Right Gear: Though luxury lodges offer comfort, the trail still demands durable trekking gear. Invest in high-quality trekking poles, waterproof clothing, and UV-protection sunglasses for both safety and convenience.
