Altitude sickness is a common problem for trekkers in the high mountains, including the Manaslu Circuit Short Trekking. Here are some remedies to help you cope with altitude sickness:

    Short Manaslu Circuit Trek with Gopal

    This is the ideal schedule for you if you need to do the Manaslu Circuit Trek but are short on time. It can be finished in about 11 days. The guide was friendly and experienced. We enjoyed the dal bhat and momo we had. My acclimatization day was quite helpful. Anyone looking to discover and experience something different from the Everest Base Camp Journey and the Annapurna Base Camp Trek is advised to go on the trek.
