Thinking about combining Manaslu Circuit with Annapurna Circuit into one 21-day trek? ποΈ
Two passes above 5,000m. 13 consecutive nights above 3,500m. Only 2 rest days. This isn't a "just show up fit" kind of trek β Thorong La (5,416m) hits you on Day 18, after your legs have already carried you over Larke Pass (5,106m) and through 17 days of accumulated altitude exposure.
We put together a full preparation guide covering:
β
The 12-week training plan (with the back-to-back weekend block that matters most)
β
Acclimatisation strategy for two passes, not just one
β
Gear that actually matters in the Manaslu restricted area
β
Permits you'll need before departure (MCAP, RAP, ACAP, and more)
