It offers im pressive mountain views of Manaslu (world’s 8th highest mountain) and the Ganesh Himal, as well as waterfall-lined gorges and beautiful glacia l lakes. Outdoor magazine has rated the Manaslu Circuit as Nepal’s ‘ best tea-house trek’. We have engaged a local trekking agency to assis t us with logistics and to provide us with a guide (obligatory) and port ers. The itinerary will incorporate opportunities to assist with altitud e acclimatization ahead of crossing our highest point (Larkye Pass, 5106 m), and will include visits to Manaslu Base Camp, Garnesh Himal Base Cam p, the upper Tsum Valley and to the border with Tibet. The duration will be 21 days, being 19 days on the trek and two days for transport betwee n Kathmandu and the trek start/finish. Participants should also allow at least one full ‘buffer’ day before the start and after the finish o f the trek. Cost will be around USD1600 (~AUD2500). Given the ascents an d descents, the crossing of a 5000+ metre pass and trails that are somet ime rough, participants require a good level of fitness and endurance. T hey should have previous experience in doing multi-day walks. URL:https://canberrabushwalkingclub.mybilby.com/activities/3501 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
