Are there any differences between two Manaslu Circuit Trek tours? Do you offer the Manaslu Trek in December and what weather should we prepare for?

Yes we offer this trek in December. On December the weather will be good but bit more cold. Above 3000meters During the day 5-15 c and night -5 to -10 c.

Is it possible to arrange onwards travel to pokhara from dharapani? Or to get guidance to trek onwards with pokhara as my final destination? I wish to stay in this region after the trek finishes. I am also a keen walker and runner, and want to be physically challenged. Can I be grouped with other people who are the same?

Yes possible to arrange a transport to Pokhara from dharapani

I had one question about acclimatization - a lot of other tours for the Manaslu Trek have an acclimatization day but this one does not and whilst I understand this trek is meant to be faster than most, I just wanted some reassurance that not having an acclimatization day during the trek would be ok for a westerner travelling into Nepal the day before the trek.

Not necessary to do any acclimatization for this trek. If you can walk per day 5-6 hours up and down the hill you can do it easily. You will be trekking through lower elevation and walking many up and down hills.

Are there any hikes signed up for the previous trip? or I will be the only one?

This is a wonderful trek with the changing sceneries as you climb up to the pass. The route was not that busy and it was great.

I had an absolutely incredible experience on the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek with Sherpa Expedition Teams, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. As a solo female traveler, safety and trust were very important to me, and my guide Kumar (or “Kumi,” as I called him 😊) exceeded all expectations. From the very beginning, he made me feel completely safe, comfortable, and supported throughout the journey. My guide was clearly very experienced and knowledgeable, he always knew exactly what he was doing, whether it was pacing the trek, adjusting plans when needed, or sharing insights about the local culture and environment. He was not only a guide but also a great companion, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. Thanks to him, I was able to fully take in the breathtaking beauty of Nepal, the stunning mountain views, peaceful villages, and unforgettable landscapes. He made sure I didn’t miss a thing. If you’re considering this trek, especially as a solo traveler, I wholeheartedly recommend Sherpa Expedition Teams and if you can, ask for Kumar. He truly made this journey special and unforgettable.Show more

  Traveler•Written January 2023
  I had a look at the insurance cover that you would provide in partnership with XCover but I did see in the policy that it would not cover me trekking over 4000m. As I will be trekking at higher altitude than this at points, what extra cover would you recommend? Also, what 3 star hotel do you use in Kathmandu either side of the trek and would I be picked up directly from the hotel?
- Sherpa Expedition TeamsOperator•Written January 2023
  Xcover will cover rescue, and 4000m will be fine for this trek. We use a 3-star hotel in Kathmandu - Hotel Thamel Park. Yes, we will pick you up from the hotel. If we need to pick it up from the airport, also possible.
