Waitlist started.] The trek combines dramatic high-altitude Himalayan landscapes with the exploration of a r emote, culturally rich Tibetan Buddhist valley, without the crowds of th e Everest and Annapurna treks. It offers impressive mountain views of Ma naslu (world’s 8th highest mountain) and the Ganesh Himal, as well as waterfall-lined gorges and beautiful glacial lakes. Outdoor magazine has rated the Manaslu Circuit as Nepal’s ‘best tea-house trek’. We wi ll engage a local trekking agency to assist us with logistics and to pro vide us with a guide (obligatory) and porters. The itinerary will incorp orate opportunities to assist with altitude acclimatization ahead of cro ssing our highest point (Larkye Pass, 5106m), and will include visits to Manaslu Base Camp and Garnesh Himal Base Camp. The duration will be 21 days, being 19 days on the trek and two days for transport between Kathm andu and the trek start/finish. Participants should also allow at least one full ‘buffer’ day before the start and after the finish of the t rek. The given start date of 10 April is indicative; the exact timing wi ll be confirmed later and can take account of the preferences/requiremen ts of participants. Cost will be around USD1600 (~AUD2500). Given the as cents and descents, the crossing of a 5000+ metre pass and trails that a re sometime rough, participants require a good level of fitness and endu rance. They should have previous experience in doing multi-day walks. (N ote: The leader of this activity will be hiking in remote areas during S eptember and there may be delays in responses to applications to partici pate or inquiries.)
