Accommodation During Manaslu Base Camp Trek

We’ll stay in three-star hotels in Kathmandu some nights, and rest stops along the way on other evenings. We will stay the night at local tea houses while on the journey. For this trek, all lodging will be shared by twins.

Single rooms, however, can also be provided upon request for an extra USD 290. However, certain locations in this area do not permit single occupancy. Every night, you’ll get to spend time in pleasant and cosy accommodations.Nowadays, the majority of teahouses have electricity available for charging small devices like cameras and cell phones.

Meals During Manaslu Base Camp Trek

During our trekking to the Manaslu Base Camp, we will have typical Nepali cuisine. International food is also available, including Tibetan, Continental, Italian, and Indian dishes. You can also indulge in hot chocolate, bread, and a choice of drinks and snacks.

However, the price is still higher. The same tea house or lodge where we spent the night will offer our breakfast the next day. Dinner will be served in the tea house where you spend the night, and lunch will be served the route to your destination.

Best Season for Manaslu Base Camp Trekking

Trekking in Nepal is doable at any time of the year, depending on the path you are heading. Apart from all-season trekking, autumn and spring seasons are the most favorable. Nepal encircles four seasons altogether. They are autumn, winter, spring, and monsoon (summer).

Fall: September through November. There is bright sky, very little (if any) rainfall, and a mild climate. During this season, there are various festivals like Dashain, Tihar, and Chhath.

Winter: January, February, and December. There is still fog in the sky, little rainfall, countable snowfall, and a colder environment. The most practical panorama can be seen in a certain amount of time, but cold bearing capacity needs to be improved in order to get there at that point. However, Christmas is also celebrated in the Himalayas.

Spring: April, May, and March. There is still clear sky, drifting clouds, less snowfall, the possibility of pre-monsoon showers, and a mild climate that is suitable for hiking. This coincides with Nepali New Year, so you can make the most of this opportunity while in Nepal.

Summer monsoon: June, July, and August. The weather is still hot but rainy, the sky appears hazy, there are heavy monsoon rainfalls, the trail is still slick, there are a lot of bugs (leeches, snails, slugs, and more), there are sporadic thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening, and the view is still lovely when there isn’t any rain. It provides a trail in the upper Himalayas that is less congested. Similarly, for scholars, biologists, and botanists in Nepal, this is the ideal period to do research.
