For my first trek in Nepal, I was lucky to connect with Janak, greatly enhancing my experience. We spent 21 days together and he was always very attentive. He really cares about his clients. Before the trek, he patiently answered all of my many questions. During the trek, he openly shared about his fascinating culture. Janak is much more than a guide. His quick smile and joyful laughter, combined with his calm presence, will stay with you for a long time after the trek.

I met Janak when I was doing the Annapurna Circuit with another guide. Since we were on the same route we started talking at some point and got along well. His positive mood highlights the trek even more. I definitely want to come back to Nepal and do a whole tour with him.

Best experience ever! I desperately needed a mover to help with a last minute relocation, and Movely was so helpful in making it a seamless process!”
You ask, we answer
Here are the answers to the most common questions from fellow adventurers.
Yes, the trek requires three permits: the Manaslu Restricted Area Permit (RAP), the Manaslu Conservation Area Permit (MCAP), and the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP). These are included in most trekking packages.
You need a good level of physical fitness and mental endurance. Previous trekking experience and some high-altitude training can be beneficial.
Absolutely! The trek involves significant altitude gain, so there are acclimatization days built into the itinerary to prevent altitude sickness.
Essentials include sturdy trekking boots, warm clothing, a sleeping bag, trekking poles, a first-aid kit, snacks, a water bottle, and a headlamp. Your guide may provide additional recommendations.
You’ll stay in tea houses, which are simple lodges offering basic amenities. Expect shared rooms and limited facilities in remote areas.
The trek is generally safe when undertaken with a professional guide like Janak. Emergency measures, such as oxygen meters and helicopter evacuation arrangements, are available in case of altitude sickness or other emergencies.
Yes, tea houses can cater to vegetarian or vegan diets, but options may be limited. It’s best to communicate your dietary needs in advance.
WiFi and charging facilities are available at some tea houses, but they are often unreliable and may involve additional costs.
Pack layers, including thermal wear, a down jacket, gloves, and a hat. Weather can change rapidly, especially near the Larkya La Pass, so be prepared for extreme conditions.
Yes, trekking companies often allow itinerary customization, such as shortening or extending the trek, based on your preferences and schedule. Let me know if you’d like me to refine this further or if you’d like help addressing any other aspects of the trek!
