Manaslu Circuit Trek

   Dear Karan,

   I will be arriving (by plane) in Nepal on 18 April early morning and aim to leave for a trek as soon as possible – but so far I have not found a trekking partner. My idea was to trek the Manaslu circuit (for which a guide is mandatory) but I would also join another two-week trek.

   So in case you can’t find anybody who leaves earlier and you feel like you could leave for a trek a few days later, please let me know.

   Best regards from Germany

     Frank ,
     when are you flying out of Nepal ?

     Karan,
     I was planning on doing the 8 day Phoksundo Lake trek between 15th and the 24th of April, and was planning on Tsum Valley trek for 19 days from 27th to 15th.. Let me know if our timings match. I’m flexible.

     Dear frank and nikhil,

     Unfortunately i am tight the dates, i am looking at maximum 14 days from manaslu and tsum valley which means 28th april i should ideally be back to pokhara and then rest for 3-4 days while i make permissions for an another 14day onslaught of kanchedzonga north and south base camp. I have to be back in india by 21st of may.

     In case you find people on similar time frames please refer them to this thread or my profile.

     Regards

   Dear Karan,

   I am sathya from bangalore. I plan to do the manaslu/tsum valley trek – if possible independently else with guide (as it is mandatory). I have trekked both in india and nepal. My travel dates are flexible – not before 3rd April though. you can check my past treks here :-

   Am willing to share the cost of the mandatory guide. However, the 14 day schedule for manaslu + tsum valley looks a bit rushed.

   cheers

     Hello sathya,

     I am aware of your blog…been reading it for quite a while.. yes 15 days look rushed i can stretch it to 18 at max, i am planning on doing kanchenjunga north and south base camp after this (15 days there) and i have to be back in india (bagdogra) by 21st may so a little tight on time and also on money. (Speaking of kanchenjunga circuit i left a question/comment on your blog)

     I am in talking terms with 1 couple from catalunya and they are willing to do this trek in 3 weeks and i have also proposed them to pay for the guide for 2 weeks in-order to do this with my time frame.. if you want to share the cost of the guide for 2 week and share the rest with them we can arrange an understanding. I am also in talking terms with 2 more people .. one lady from bangalore who wants to do the trek in 15 days and one man from mumbai(3 weeks window for him) who will confirm his status by next week… you know him i think.. girish parab.. aka giri baba.

     So me and the lady(if she joins) are willing to pay the guide for 2 weeks and willing to split the group after jagat and carry on our own.

     Regards.

   Karan,

   Thanks for the response. Doing north and south kanchenjunga in 2 weeks is really tough. Let me know if you have any questions regarding it. (cant access my blog – where i am ).

   If possible for manaslu/tsum could I suggest that you put all concerned parties on e-mail. It might be easy for me to co-ordinate with trekkers from blore (& girish).

   thanks

   best regards

     Hello sathya, girish backed out today(he is busy with some things) and also the catalan couple.. too many people for them in-spite of me willing to split up. So we are 3 now. sending personal message with email.

   hi, I’m hoping to do a somewhat last-minute Manaslu circuit trek with a couple of day trips to Manaslu basecamp and Tibet border from Samdo- I was hoping to leave next week but may not find trekking partner in time! If I end up not being able to go next week (also I’m informed that Larkya La pass is closed currently due to bad weather), I may wish to go the same dates as you and your partners!

     Hello sitara, Let me know how it unfolds, are you going to tsum valley as well ? Because 2 of us are planning on going there too. I will do one side trips of those 2 you mentioned i think, will decide on the trail.

     Check PM
