Langtang & Manaslu · Above 3,000 m, with time to adjust
High altitude in Langtang & Manaslu
Everest, Annapurna Base Camp, Upper Mustang, Gokyo, Manaslu and Kanchenjunga. Routes built on the 'climb high, sleep low' rule, with rest days at Namche, Manang and Dingboche-type stops, because acclimatisation decides how the trip feels.
