Acclimatization in Manaslu Round Trek
If you are trekking above 3000m in height in the mountains you need to acclimatize. When you arrive above 3000m it is better to spend time at high elevations before you go more altitude. during our Manaslu trek, we will trek above 5000m so it is very important to have a rest day.
it is crucial to allow your body to adjust to the new environment. You can take one day’s rest once you arrive at your destination to acclimatize. Going on shorter day hikes, and walking around colorful sites are advisable. Acclimatization means not only resting it is the process of how your body reacts so you can go on a day trip to a higher altitude and come down to sleep.
As you reach high elevations, air pressure drops. Oxygen molecules have more room to spread out in the air. With each breath you take in, you’ll be receiving less oxygen than you would at sea level. If you don’t take time to acclimatize before a hiking trip properly, you’ll be at higher risk for altitude sickness. The higher in elevation you go, the greater the risk. Acclimatization is a slow and necessary process that takes time: altitude sickness does not discriminate by fitness, age, or experience level for the Manaslu circuit trek.

Another Fantastic Trek By Above The Himalaya Trekking
We’re just back from another fantastic trek with Above the Himalaya. This time it was the Manaslu Circuit, after trekking to Everest Base Camp and the Three High Passes last time.
We spent half-days on newly-constructed roads at the very start and very end of the route (this is now an on-going trekking issue in Nepal, generally) so should have done the trek years ago, when ATH first recommended it, for a pristine trail experience.
Our guide and porter were excellent, as promised, the scenery was better than ATH said it would be and our compressed-time transfer arrangements were faultless.
Yes, we’re biased; we love trekking in Nepal. And much of the love is because ATH’s organization has never disappointed us.
It’s only a matter of time before we’ll be back. What’s next? Mustang? Nar Phu Valley? Kanchenjunga? Makalu Base Camp? Dolpo? Whatever it is, using ATH to organize it will be a no-brainer for us.

“Beautiful Manaslu Circuit Trekking”
My husband and I went on a 3-week trek on the Manaslu Circuit with Purna for our honeymoon. Purna took care of the both of us from start to finish, and I highly recommend Hari to anyone looking for a guide who can provide a safe, fun, and educational trek. You’ll leave feeling like Purna is a part of your family! Any trips we’ll have back to Nepal will be with Purna. Purna always made sure we were safe – from checking on the kitchens and food prep to making sure we had the best accommodations. Purna also made sure that this was our trek the entire way. Purna would always give us accurate information about our day, routes, and potential changes we could make to our itinerary. He’d let us push harder on days we felt strong, but more importantly, he knew when to be more conservative with our efforts. Purna also quickly helped us re-arrange our itinerary when we ended up finishing the trek a day early. He made it all seamless and personally escorted us back to the airport. Purna also provided us with educational information that no other guide on the same trek provided. Purna would discuss the flora, fauna, various regions, castes, Nepal’s history and culture. Everything was open for discussion, and Purna garnered the nickname “Master Purna” for being our teacher. Purna also served as a guide to the other guides on the same trek. We knew we had the best guide when other guides would always and regularly ask Purna for advice throughout the trip. Purna treated us like family. Many other guides on the same trek would split off with their clients/trekkers from their porters. But Purna made sure that we all were in this together, including our fantastic porter, Prahlad. So I would definitely recommend Purna and his company( Above the Himalaya trekking) to everybody who is thinking of visiting Nepal
Thank you so much.

Beautiful Manaslu circuit trekking
I just finished the Manaslu Circuit Trek with Above The Himalaya Trekking and I wanted to share my experience with others who might be considering choosing this company. I had an amazing time in Nepal which I can fully credit to the professional staff at Above The Himalaya Trekking. Our guide was fun, knowledgeable, and completely professional. Our tea houses were fantastic and the food was delicious. I will certainly trek again with Above The Himalaya Trekking when I return to Nepal.
