15 Day Manaslu Trek

Manaslu Trek Itinerary can be varied depending on number of rest days and additional side trip to Tsum Valley. For my previous client I had always used the following itinerary for either Manaslu Circuit Trek or Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek. On basis of preventative measure of High Altitude Sickness I had catered this itinerary on my own experience and idea.

Thomas Kappenberger (Dad Thomas) and Marcello (Uncle M) from German - We were on Manaslu Tsum Valley 22 Days Trek - It was taken on Manaslu Base Camp.

Here is my suggested itinerary for Manaslu Circuit Trek.

Day 03 – Trek from Maccha Khola to Jagat

Day 04 – Trek from Jagat to Deng

Day 05 – Trek from Deng to Namrung

Day 06 – Trek from Namrung to Lho

Day 07 – Trek from Lho to Sama Gaon

Day 08 – Acclimatization day in Sama Gaon (Explore Manaslu Base Camp)

Day 09 – Trek from Sama Gaon to Samdo

Day 10 – Acclimatization day in Samdo (Day trip to Tibetan Border)

Day 11 – Trek from Samdo to Dharmasala

Day 12 – Trek from Dharmasala to Bimthang via Larke Pass

Day 13 – Trek from Bimthang to Tilije

Day 14 – Trek from Tilije to Dharapani and Drive to Beshi Sahar

Day 15 – Drive back from Beshi Sahar to Kathmandu

According to preventative measure of High Altitude Sickness it is recommended to have rest day on every hike of 600 m elevation. This is practically not feasible to have a rest day on every hike of 600 m. So before crossing the pass, highest elevation of entire trip at summit of Larke Pass I had allocate two rest day. On each rest day plan is to gain elevation at least 700 m during trip and return back to same places for overnight. I will be updating the list of things that you need to include in your packing list for trip. Click on each of above itinerary for details information of each day, like how much we walk, elevation difference and where to stay and others.
