Manaslu Circuit | 7–19 Nov 2026 | Looking for fun people to trek with

Hey folks,

I’m planning to do the Manaslu Circuit from 7th–19th November 2026.

Looking for a few easygoing people who enjoy mountain suffering, good conversations, and occasional stupidity at high altitude.

Also, I do not plan on skipping (people rushing through the trek usually do):

Pungen Gompa : a detour on the way to Samagaon.
Birendra Lake + Manaslu Base Camp : we can combine both side hikes in a single day of acclimatization at Samagaon.
Rui La Pass : side hike to Nepal - Tibet border on the Samdo Acclimatation Day.

Would rather do the circuit properly than rush through it. Current plan is to keep it flexible, enjoy the villages instead of speed-running the trek, and hopefully put together a fun little group.

If you’re planning something similar or even considering it, drop a comment or DM.

Bonus points if you:

  • like tea houses
  • don’t blast reels on speaker
  • can laugh when things go sideways

Also, a little about me: I’m a management consultant based out of Delhi. Have previously done EBC, Kedarkantha Winter Trek, Pangarchula Peak, Kareri Lake, Hampta Pass, etc.

Cheers.
