Frequently asked questions

In the MCAP (Manaslu Conservation Area Project) region, you are unable to solo trek. In order to get a permit for you Manaslu Trek, there must be at least two applicants/trekkers in one group. If you are a solo trekker, please reach out and we may have some creative solutions for you.

You are able to modify the trek itinerary at any point before departure. As long as the trek will finish within the allocated number of permit days, the trek can be modified during the trek itself as well. Many elements of the trekking all-inclusive package can be customized. However, some elements of the all-inclusive cannot be customized, such as Meals and Accommodation, and required elements such as guides, permits, etc. If you have inquiries about any customization, please contact us.

If an emergency arises, we are responsible for coordinating the helicopter pick-up. We do NOT have a satellite phone, but there is a phone network during most of the Trek. There are a few points where there is no reception, but reception is always within an hour’s walk away. In the event of an emergency requiring evacuation, travelers’ evacuation insurance is paramount and recommended. Please have travelers’ evacuation insurance before you depart for Nepal. For more info on health and safety review the Health & Safety tab.

Note: Anything not written above, is not included in the medical kit. This is an emergency medical kit, so there are not large quantities of these medicines readily available also. So, if you are someone who regularly takes ibuprofen or anti-inflammatories, for example, please bring your own just in case.

The room size and space will depend on the rooms available. Who sleeps where can be managed by the group. Most hotels during the Manaslu Trek are beautifully simplistic and rustic. All lodges will have blankets and pillows.
