Manaslu Circuit, rest day! Samagaon to Manaslu Base Camp (and back)

Manaslu sunrise
On our rest (acclimatization) day some of us walked up to Manaslu Base Camp (4400m)


Yak herders huts

A long climb of almost 1000m and by now we were beginning to feel the altitude.

Going up



Looking down to Samagaon


Are we nearly there yet?


Large bird, unidentified. Eagle?


Nearly there, Manaslu in the distance


It's a long way back down now

    Hi! Thanks a lot for this post! I would like to ask about the technical difficulty of this trek to BC, are there exposed paths or do you have to use your hands at times? Do you have to walk over the glacier (crevasses)? Thanks!
