Manaslu Circuit Trek from Germany

Manaslu Circuit trek from Germany (Manaslu Himalaya Reisen 5106 meters) takes a connective flight from Germany to Kathmandu Valley. As there is no direct flight to Nepal from Germany, you can select several countries from which to transit to land in Nepal. Similarly, you can choose countries including Malaysia, Singapore, Qatar, India, and Shreelanka to arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport, Nepal. The Tribhuvan International Airport is the sole airport in Nepal that provides international flight services and is the gateway to Nepal.

Manaslu is located northeast of Kathmandu in the Gorkha district of Nepal. The world’s eighth-highest mountain, Mount Manaslu, is 8163 meters above sea level and is also known as the Mountain of Spirit.

The Manaslu Circuit trek involves trekking around Mt. Manaslu. The famous Himalayas, including Himal Chuli, Nagdi Chuli, Manaslu, Shringi Himal, and Ganesh Himal, can also be spotted while trekking to Manaslu Circuit from Germany.

Manaslu is located in the ridges of the Mansiri Himalayan range of Manaslu Conservation Area. The maximum altitude of Manaslu Circuit Trek is 5106 m from the sea level at Larkya- La Pass.

 Manaslu Circuit is on the border between Gorkha and Manang districts and close to the border of Tibet. Manaslu Circuit is considered one of the most popular and top treks in the Nepal Himalayas because it is less crowded, even during the best trekking seasons.

The Trek takes travelers to the most remote and isolated off-path regions, where you can enjoy the unique cultures of Buddhism. Manaslu Region covers two significant areas, the Hilly and Tibetan Mountain Regions, which are rich in cultural diversity. The majority of the population of this region follows Buddhism. You can participate in their cultural activities and enjoy the culture as the inhabitants are amicable and will provide a comfortable environment with warm hospitality.

Permits

The Nepal government has declared the Manaslu Region a restricted area. You can obtain a special permit from the Department of Immigration through a government-authorized trekking agency. Boundless Adventure is an authorized trekking agency that can also provide the necessary licenses for Manaslu Himalaya Reisen.

Three kinds of permits are required for Manaslu Circuit Trekking: ACAP (Annapurna Conservation Area Permit), MCAP (Manaslu Conservation Area Permit), and Restricted Area Permit. Obtaining all these permits is necessary to trek on the Manaslu Circuit.

Ground Transportation

After arriving in Germany, travelers can choose between private and public transportation for their Trek to Manaslu Circuit. Buses are the public method of transportation, while private cabs, jeeps, and cars are the private method of transportation.

If you want to travel to Manaslu Reisen via public transportation, you can take it from Machha Pokhari Bus Park in Kathmandu; if not, a private vehicle will leave your hotel directly.

It will take a 9—to 10-hour jeep ride from Kathmandu to reach Machha Khola. The distance from Kathmandu to Machha Khola is approximately 87 miles, but because of the off-road, it takes longer to reach our destination. Our first drive will be through the Prithvi Highway, which connects Kathmandu and Pokhara.

 During our journey, we will return to Dhading and enjoy the surrounding landscapes of terraced hillsides and rice fields. The following night, we will stay at the Maccha Khola Hotel.

Due to the increase in the Altitude of Samagaon (3530 meters) compared to previous treks, your body will need rest, and sometimes, adapting to the surrounding altitude for acclimatization is necessary. Samagaon is at a higher Altitude, so it’s an ideal point for acclimatization. We will keep climbing to a higher altitude, so we have to adapt to the altitude of our surroundings. Acclimatization and rest are necessary to climb the Larkya-La Pass without mountain sickness.

You can utilize your acclimatization day to explore the culture of the inhabitants of Samagaon, where you can learn about various things, including their lifestyle, language, profession, and so on.

The higher altitude may cause Mountain sickness, so your body requires proper rest.

The Trek to Dharmasala blends adventure, culture, and natural beauty. The mesmerizing view of Manaslu, Syacha Glacier, Jarkya Himal, Narsing Himal, Yamnag Glacier, and Fukang Glacier will force you to explore Dharmasala more. Dharmasala is a gem of Manaslu Trek, gifted with many lakes, waterfalls, and tourist attractions.
