Manaslu Trekking Guide Mr Raju Adhikari

Hiring a guide is not a expensive in Nepal. On average US $ 25 per day you can hire a guide which Includes guide’s foods, accommodation, insurance etc. Our client also ask if there is possible to go only with a porter in Manaslu. The answer is yes, however the cost of hiring a porter is comparatively cheaper than hiring a guide. Roughly you can hire a Porter in around US 20 Per day including their foods, accommodation and insurance. We also recommended to Our valuable clients to design a porter guide itinerary, that would be cost around US $ 30 Per day. This is good idea where your porter guide will do both help to shear your loads baggage and guide you through the trail.

However we highly recommended to go with Professional guide for safety regions and for sure to achieve the life Long experiences.

What to Expect from our Guide?

We have professional guide who are at least 10 years experiences in Nepal Himalayas. They are well trained about the emergency and altitudes problems. All our guides have been done lest least 7/8 time in Manaslu trekking so there are very familiar good relationship with locals and tea House owners along the way.

How much is the cost for transportation in Manaslu trekking?
Manaslu would expected in an off-the-beaten-trail, has not connected any Public tourist bus services bus yet. The only way to reach starting point of trekking is to take a off road local bus to Arughat or Sotikhola or hiring a Jeep for those who want convenience. Riding a bus to Sotikhola is less than Us 10 per Person and if you want to take a jeep, the cost is around US 200 where you can Join 6/ 7 people. The same apply when you end your trekking in Tal or Besisahar to Kathmandu. The roas in Betwwen Tal to Besisahar is totally off-road where you can get jeeps roughly NPR 900 per Person.

What to expect from Local bus. Jeep ride ?
If you’re going to by local bus then you have to prepare to fir in a small seat with sharing space to other people. Bus to Arughat leave early morning around 7:AM and 8 Am in the morning, so you have to plan to reach bus station at least before 30 minutes. The first half of 90 Km is black- top road so it is comfortable but after this would be challenging ride, with dust, muddy and very narrow road. I suggest keep mask, sunglass and scarf and a bottle of water with you.

By jeep:- Private jeeps might a option for those who want to go Arughat comfortably. Also jeep riding is faster than bus to reach the destination and jeeps allows you to stop anywhere for lunch, snacks, viewpoints along the way.

Roughly you can get 1 items foods in US $ 5 to 7 per meal. Approximately US $ 20 to 25 on daily budges will required for the foods. If you have been Annapurna before then cost is relatively same but Everest is still expensive then Manaslu and Annapurna.
