This is a Short Conversation between Trekker and Operator after the completion of Manaslu circuit trek.

We, Master Himalaya, are operating Manaslu circuit trek for more than 10 years. Since we receive many queries about the trek and our clients wanted to know the answer to many questions first hand, we thought interviewing a trekker just after the trek could help our clients a lot.

 

Our Trekking expert Mr Dikshant Nepal and a sweet couple from UK, MR & MRS Haywood sat on the table to come out with the best possible questions and answers about Manaslu circuit trek.

MR and MRS Heywood were Tea person rather than coffee. The table starts with serving of three cups of Original Nepali CTC Tea. 

As the first sip of the tea was tasted, the conversation started to began with Mr Dikshant commentating on their Tea Experience in the trek.

Mr Dikshant: It is indeed cold up there. I imagine you enjoyed your cup of tea's as much as you can during the trek. What would you like to share? Mrs Heywood: Tea is My Favorite morning thing. In the mountains they basically served us black tea which tasted something like what we are sipping now. I guess, all the tea found in Nepal are basically CTC and tasted same. The difference is, in the mountains they added Himalayan black pepper in the tea. The pepper helps stabilize our body temperature. We basically had tea 2 - 3 cup in a day. Our guide was a tea lover too. He just loves having tea. He had, i guess, 5 - 6 cups of tea a day.

Mr Dikashant says, “ lets focus on some questions that our clients wanted to know. I will just ask you questions and you just give back your original answer”. Mr and MRS Heywood agrees.

Lets Go  

Mr Dikshant:

Why did you choose Manaslu circuit trek?

Mrs Heywood: 

Well, when we were planning our trip, we were really after a trail that wasn't swarming with crowds. After some digging, we came upon the Manaslu circuit. It has got this perfect mix of stunning views but without the hustle and bustle. Plus, the fact that Fully Independent Travelers were banned really attracted us.

Mr Dikshant:

 And did you find the right fit with Master Himalaya Treks and Expedition?

Mrs Heywood:

 Absolutely. We had this back-and-forth exchange of about 13 emails with them, changing our itinerary of Manaslu Circuit Trek to fit our needs perfectly. And let me tell you, they were super budget-friendly too.

Mr Dikshant: 

How was the start of your journey?

Mrs Heywood: 

Well, instead of taking the usual route to Soti Khola, we decided to head straight to Maccha Khola on the first day. Gave us a bit of breathing space at higher altitudes. We wanted to explore more in upper reason like Samdo and Samagau.

Mr Dikshant: 

What is your unforgettable Experience during the Trek?

Mrs Heywood: 

Oh, yeah. When we arrived at Jagat, we saw a group of Israeli trekkers, two of whom couldn't see. They had many Porters with them, and one elderly blind person was riding a horse. About 15 minutes later, one of the trekkers accidentally touched the horse from behind, scaring it. The horse kicked in fear, causing the blind person to fall and get hurt. He had cuts on his face and was bleeding. Guide and one of the helpers went to a hotel down below where there was better communication. The Manaslu Conservation Area army arrived with a stretcher and took him to the hotel. Our guide made some phone calls, and they arranged for a helicopter rescue right away.

Mr Dikshant: 

Do you have anything to say about hotels/tea house in Manaslu region?

Mrs Heywood:

We Stayed at the best tea house, learned a Nepal card game, sang our Reshemfiriri song with the group and learned a lot of Nepali language.

Mr Dikshant: 

Manaslu is a long Camp trek. So, was there any difficulty in walking?

Mrs Heywood: 

Not really. We were a pretty solid walking team, and our guide even commented us on that a few times. He'd sometimes take us to less visited side path but even more beautiful then common path of Manaslu Circuit.

Mr Dikshant: 

Can you explain the views of Manaslu region?

Mrs Heywood: 

Oh, words can't quite capture it. It's like... these huge mountains will just swallow your soul.

Mr Dikshant:

 Is this your First time to Nepal?

Mrs Heywood: 

Yep, first time. We've done some hiking elsewhere, but Nepal was a whole new adventure for us.

Mr Dikshant:

Do you have any this to say in conclusion?

Mrs Heywood:

 I had heard about the beauty of Nepal many times. This is my first time in experience. I will recommend any travelers to experience in real, then only you can know its true beauty. At the same time as we all know beauty is always dangerous. So, be prepared don’t hesitate to ask your agency take as much information you can and Explore
