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 walk 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.
