“

Manasalu circuit is getting popular. Since we went in 2014 all the way to Samdo, we have a reference. On Oct. 24.2018 passend 220 tourists the check point at Namrung. Four years ago there were hardly 40 of us travelling up the Bhudi Ghandaki. The hygienic conditions are worst as four years ago. In Samdo an avalanche of waste reach from the villlage allmost into the river. CAUSION: the terain at the west side of Larka La is very steep. In two days the traweller descend 3000m. Make sure that your knees are fit for this. Renting a horse in Bitmang cost 500$. In Tsum Valley the trail is decorated with hudreds of Red Bull tins. There is a monastery with 300 monks. I'am suspecting them of addiction to caffein and ignorance towards environment.

Annapurna Circuit Trek

However, few trekking trips complete the route, often skipping the final leg, which means missing out on deserted trails and unforgettable nights in quiet teahouses. We just couldn’t do that. Join us to tackle the full lap, crossing high trails and the formidable Thorong La while enjoying superb views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountains and the ever-changing scenery. Based in teahouses throughout, we spend time in villages inhabited by many of Nepal’s different peoples, both Buddhist and Hindu.
