What are the requirements for restricted region trekking in Nepal?

Trekking in Nepal requires permits and trekkers have to follow certain rules and regulations. However, if you are trekking inside the restricted regions of Nepal then you need to follow strict guidelines. Solo trekking is not allowed as you must have a group of at least 2 trekkers. The trekking guide is mandatory and you must do the trek operated by Nepal Government registered trekking agency. Manaslu Conservation Area Project (MCAP), Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP), and special Restricted Area Permit from Immigration Department of Nepal are required permits for the Short Manaslu Circuit Trekking in Nepal. Besides permits requirement, you must have good physical fitness and mental strength.

Trekkers can surely feel safe and they can get lots of information about the trekking route, as well as the villages that are not published on the internet.

Short Manaslu Circuit Trek Itinerary

The itinerary of Short Manaslu Circuit Trekking in Nepal is scientifically prepared by our travel planners. Interestingly, these travel planners are from the Manaslu region of Nepal. The Himalayan Trekking Path always sends its guides and travel planners to research about the current situation of the trekking routes, especially in the remote and restricted regions of Nepal. The trail conditions change every season. Therefore, you must have updated information to conduct momentous trekking activities without any kinds of hassles. Our itinerary is 15 days long including arrival, departure, and permit preparation day.

Is it possible to add Tsum Valley in Manaslu Circuit Trek itinerary?

Tsum Valley Trek and Manaslu Circuit Trek are the two famous trekking trips to do in the Manaslu region of Nepal. You can add an itinerary to do Tsum Valley Trek alongside the Short Manaslu Circuit Trekking in Nepal. However, you need to add an additional 5 to 6 days to accommodate the itinerary of this section. The trek to Tsum Valley is spiritual and encompasses a visit to various villages of Tibetan origin people and monasteries. The most famous monasteries of the region are Rachen Gompa of Nile village and Mu Gompa monastery.

Please contact our travel planners if you wish to add the itinerary of Tsum Valley excursion in this trekking trip. Note that this is the Short Manaslu Circuit Trekking package. Therefore, adding the Tsum itinerary makes this trek long. If you wish to do both the trek then book our Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek package that consists of 20 days itinerary.

Is Trek to Manaslu Base Camp good for Acclimatization?

How can you get properly acclimatized during high-altitude trekking? The best way to get acclimatized during the high-altitude trekking is by reaching the high-altitude destination and returning back to low altitude place for the overnight sleep. It is the basic principle to do acclimatization. The altitude of Manaslu Base Camp is about 4800 m above sea level. Samagaon is at 3550 m from sea level. Trekkers trek to Manaslu Base Camp via Birendra Lake during the acclimatization hike. This is one of the most significant days of the Short Manaslu Circuit Trekking in Nepal. The hike takes you to one of the popular lakes of Nepal and also to the foothill of the world’s 8th tallest mountain Mt. Manaslu. Please do the trek up to Manaslu Base Camp compulsorily to make sure that trekking beyond Samagaon is much easier. The highest point of the Manaslu Circuit Trek route is at the top of the Larke La pass which is 5106 m from sea level.

Why do I need Annapurna Conservation Area Permit to do Manaslu Circuit Trek?

Upon crossing the Larke La Pass (5106 m), trekkers enter the Annapurna region of Nepal. The places like Bimthang and Dharapani are in the Annapurna Circuit Trek route. Therefore, trekkers doing the Short Manaslu Circuit Trekking must acquire the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) permit along with the Manaslu Conservation Area Project (MCAP) permit. You are not allowed to do trekking in the Annapurna region of Nepal without ACAP permit. The journey of Manaslu Circuit Trek encompasses places of Annapurna and Manaslu region. Therefore, you need Annapurna Conservation Area Permit to do Manaslu Trek in Nepal.

What are the mountains seen from Larke La Pass?

The top of the Larke La Pass is one of the enthralling destinations to reach during trekking in Nepal’s Manaslu region. The place is the highlight of the Short Manaslu Circuit Trekking. To complete the pass crossing, trekkers have to start the trek in the early morning from Dharamsala. It takes about 7 to 8 hours to reach Bhimthang from Dharmasala via Larke La Pass. Relish the scenery of Annapurna Massifs, Manaslu South, Ganesh Himal, Punkar Himal, Samdo Peak, Larke La Peak, Kang Garu, Ngadi Himal, Himlung Himal, etc. Enjoy the scenery of more than a dozen mountains from the top of the pass. It is one of the most picturesque places to be as you will be able to see not only mountains but also the glacier valleys! Knit a beautiful Himalayan landscape memory while trekking from Dharmasala to Bimthang via Larke la Pass.

How long does it take to reach Machha Khola from Kathmandu?

The road distance between Machha Khola and Kathmandu is about 160 kilometers. The total driving hours are about 7 to 8 hours, depending upon the road condition and traffic. The road between Kathmandu and Salyantaar is well maintained, but the road from Aarughat to Machha Khola is completely off road. Therefore, expect bumpy ride along the Budhi Gandaki River. Travelers have to drive through villages like Aarkhet and Soti Khola. Please note that classical Manaslu Circuit Trek used to start from Aarughat. This is the small town located on the shores of Budhi Gandaki River and encompasses two districts of Nepal. They are Dhading and Gorkha.

Dharapani to Kathmandu Road Distance

The road distance between Dharapani and Kathmandu is about 208 kilometers long. The section between Dharapani and Besisahar is off road but some sections are well plastered! Most of the sections on this route are bumpy and expect a tiring ride. However, the bumpy ride can be easily forgotten due to the majestic scenery that you see on the road. There are countless waterfalls along the road where you can stop the vehicle and enjoy the scenery. Moreover, the road trip is 35 kilometers long but equally captivating due to the presence of amazing landscape and wonders of Mother Nature! The construction works are going on in the Prithivi Highway. Therefore, Besisahar to Kathmandu trip may become tiring even if most of the sections of the highway are well maintained as we can meet the major highway in Dumre town. This is the small town nearby Bandipur and on the way to Pokhara. Contact our travel planners if you wish to add the Pokhara Tour itinerary after the Short Manaslu Circuit Trekking in Nepal.

Can I do Annapurna Circuit Trek with Manaslu Circuit Trek?

Yes, you can do Annapurna Circuit Trek with Manaslu Circuit Trek if you plan it properly. After finishing the Manaslu Circuit Trek journey, trekkers meet the Annapurna Circuit Trek route. Therefore, they can do the Annapurna Circuit Trek without driving to Besisahar. Instead, trekkers can continue their journey to Chame village and subsequently follow the itinerary of Annapurna Circuit Trek.
