Thanks so much for sharing all your adventures. I'm curious: Do you use crampons in the snowy-icy conditions? I was quite afraid when we walked up and down icy paths on the Annapurna Circuit in 2019, and said I'd never go without crampons again - but they're heavy to carry. What are your thoughts?
@TheMenWhoStareAtMountains 12 күн бұрын
Also 100% pro crampons. The problem I had on this trek was, that the rubber band on my mini spikes was apparently too old and not flexible any more, so they fell off all the time. Not ideal. Since then I'm also 100% pro actually checking the equipment before setting off. 😅

I wouldn't fancy the steep traverse of the hill on the way to Kambachen when covered in snow! As for Kambachen to Lhonak in the snow, I've done this before and didn't find it too hard.

My favourite treks so far were Manaslu for its diversity (similar to Annapurna Circuit but minus the road) and Gokyo for the mountain views.
@phealy02 5 ай бұрын
Annapurna has sadly descended to become a populist track for 'tourists'. Manaslu is still a hidden gem, with remote valleys seemingly from another world, Gorkha / Tibetan cultures mostly untouched, and a hike up and down seriously steep paths often obliterated by landslides that makes Annapurna or EBS feel like a sedentary walk in the park. There is no comparison. Manaslu is vastly superior... but the majority of muppets will still pursue EBC, there and back on a single bland trail, to regale the family of their courage.
@TheMenWhoStareAtMountains 5 ай бұрын
Some less ambitious people do seek a walk in parks that have 8000m mountains in them, so there will always be trekkers who enjoy the Annapurna Circuit or EBC. I do fully agree, tho, that more experienced trekkers or travellers more interested in genuine culture will probably have a way better time on the Manaslu Circuit.

Lovely, picturesque, informative video ! After watching another spectacular video by Napal360 Team, the 'Manaslu Circuit" was very much on mind & i wish to undertake it in October this year. The fitness program is in progress for this trek. I have already had chats with 'Mountain Ram" & their views are also similar to what you have specified. They give a duration of 18 days for the Manaslu circuit ( Kathmandu-Kathmandu) that probably include the acclimatizing days. After watching the Manaslu trek i fell in love with it due to the breathtaking scenes & terrain it offers & in such a varied way. The scenery keeps on changing every day & that is something very much to behold. You have just consolidated my resolve to do this trek even more. Thank you for this wonderful, honest, accurate depiction of the trek ! Thanks a ton !! Keep posting such great ones ! Cheers !!

Could you maybe list the overall cost it took for the Manaslu circuit?
@TheMenWhoStareAtMountains 5 ай бұрын
It depends a lot on how you want to do it. Permits will be about 200 USD per person. A guide will be 35 to 40 USD per day for the whole group. So here it depends on the size of your group. Bus transport to the starting point might only be 10 to 15 USD, while renting a whole jeep would probably be 250 USD. So again it depends on the size of your group. The same numbers apply for transportation after the trek. So if your group is small, you can save a lot of money, if you take the bus. Personal expenses per day would probably be equal to about 35 USD per person per day.
@swikrit6724 5 ай бұрын
I’m a Nepali myself so I don’t need to worry about permits and guides. Just want to know the costs for travel(from ktm), homestay, and food.
@TheMenWhoStareAtMountains 5 ай бұрын
I see. Then I would suggest you estimate 3000 NPR (just bed and food) to 4000 NPR (incl. snacks and beer if you need those) per day of trekking for you. As for the exact price of the bus ticket to Arughat Bazar or to Soti Khola, I'd check at the bus park. I don't have exact and up to date information on the ticket price. Enjoy the trek!

@TheMenWhoStareAtMountains 6 ай бұрын
Your cousin is right. In January the lodges around Kangchenjunga are most likely closed. On more remote and/or less popular treks the lodges close in winter. So unless you'd like to camp, you'll have to stick to a more popular trek in January. Don't worry though. It's low season. No trek is crowded that time of the year. How long do you want to hike?

Thanks for the video - I am currently struggling with this exact question. I am leaning towards ABC as it seems a bit more eye-catching and beautiful, whereas Langtang although also beautiful does look a bit more boring and barren, at least at times.
@TheMenWhoStareAtMountains 7 ай бұрын
It might be a bit less dramatic, but I wouldn't say it's boring. The barren-ness comes with altitude. Above 3800m ABCs valley floor is just as barren, as Langtang Valley. The difference is, that in Langtang at that point you have a lot more valley left to hike in whereas at ABC you're almost at the end.

Great video. Your comparison is spot on. I would add that for families with young children, teens or seniors, Annapurna Base Camp is probably better as Pokhara provides an ideal start/end point and the lodges/tea houses are a bit more comfortable. I took my 9 and 12 year old to ABC and they loved it and the trip was smooth. Not sure I would have felt as comfortable taking them on the Langtang Trek where some sections can feel fairly remote and the lodge and food options a bit more limited (yes - there are plenty of lodges in Langtang/Kyanjin Gompa, but felt the standard was below that of ABC and the proprietors tend to be local-rural types and thus not as resourceful if there are any special requests or emergencies)
