Can be done Manasalu Circuit Trek without guide or Porter?
Law of Nepal immigration has declared or defined that
trekkers have to be gone for the Manasalu Circuit Trek at least with a trekking
guide or Porter-guide as having a trekking guide license for Nepal. As being
this region restricted area, traveller need to be in a group of at least
persons to get special permit and to travel in this region. Individual is not
allowed to issue the special permit like permit for Annapurna Conservation and
to do the trekking also. Trekkers have to accompany with at least one
authorized person from Nepal as a guide or Porter-guide during the visit.
For hiring the guide or Porter-guide and porters for your
trip you can contact with the same trekking agency like Enjoy Nepal Treks,
which helps to process for special permit in Immigration of Nepal and permit
for Manasalu Conservation Area Permit (MCAP) and Annapurna Conservation Area
Permit ( ACAP). They provide the trekkers more experienced and trained trekking
guide license holder guide or Porter-guide and porters also. They are more
concerned and responsible about their duty and job. They help trekkers to
attempt their motive. With guide or porter-guide trekkers can get chance to
learn more and more about the culture, religion, history, mountains and so many
things.
If the trekkers have already hired a trekking guide for
Manaslu Circuit Trek, it is optional for you to take porter. If trekkers hire
porter-guide he or she can carry around 10-12 kgs of your bag pack and at the
same time he or she guide you. If the trekkers can carry the bag pack self then
they do not need a porter, they need only a guide. As we suggest the tourist
for this region, it is better to take porter as being an adventure trek in
Nepal. Salary for guide is from 22-30 USD/day depending on their skill,
language, and knowledge about culture, religion and many more. For porter-guide
day fare is also from 20-26 USD/day and for porter day rate is 17-20
USD/day/head depending on peak season also. And insurance for guide,
porter-guide or porters is compulsory which costs extra.
