Hey Mountain lovers,
who wants to trek around Manaslu with me?
I am an open minded, adventurous student from germany and will trek the Manaslu circuit arriving in KTM the 9th and starting the trek at 11th April. Right now we are searching trekkers to form a little group, as it is required for permits and it will be definitely more fun the more people we are. So I really would appreciate YOU to join me. My trip is organized by www.nepaltrekkingexperts.com so please feel free to contact them about trip details and booking, or me, to find out more about your future trekking partner :)

Whole thing reads like an advertisement by Trekking Agency.

However:

Itinerary has decent/proper amount of acclimatization days and rate of ascent.

Names used for some villages quite unusual: Loho?

Deng is a dump. Dharmsala even worse....

Samdo to Dharmsala certainly not 7 hrs... perhaps 3 hours (and we are slow...)

There will be lots of snow up high.
