Trekking Guide

The Manaslu Circuit Trek is one of the most popular treks in Nepal. Manaslu, a restricted area, requires a special permit to enter, specifically from Namrung to Larkey La Pass. Despite this, nearly a million people visit the Manaslu restricted area every year.

If you're interested in visiting Manaslu for free, here are some ways to make that happen:

If you're a social media influencer with a substantial following on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or especially YouTube, you might be eligible for a free tour. By posting vlogs or other content related to your trek, you can provide indirect benefits to Nepal trekking, such as increased exposure and marketing. In return, you could receive not only a free tour but also special commissions if the tour is booked through your affiliated link.

Not only a visual influence, but if you have a good writing experience and you have influence on top news sites or blog sites, it can also help in the promotion of new routes and trails in Nepal. For example, the Everest trek, Mansalu trek, and Annapurna trek are not the only trials in Nepal. Nepal has more fantastic unexplored routes and trails, like the Upper Dolpo region, the Kanchenjunga region trek, the West Nepal trek, the Shey Phoksundo Lake trek, etc. Much of the information of this region is not mentioned anywhere, not even on Wikipedia. Therefore, if you want to explore and give this gem of information to the world, you will be eligible for trekking Manaslu for free.

2. Trekking Leader

A trekking leader is someone who organizes a group of travelers and coordinates with a registered trekking agency like Master Himalaya Treks and Expedition. You don't need special trekking or climbing skills, as everything is smoothly managed by Master Himalaya Treks and Expedition. As a trekking leader, you can either earn a commission or enjoy a free trek. If you have a question like how to collect a group of travelers, then, for example, if you are a college student, you can run a campaign on “Trekking to Nepal in summer holidays” (or any holidays you have) 3 months before the holiday date and start collecting a group, then again boost campaign marketing in the last month, and then you will get enough people for the trek. Once you collect the group, you can directly contact Master Himalaya on WhatsApp or inquire through email or through association form on the Master Himalaya Treks and Expedition website. We can customize trip inquiries according to the given date.

Other options:

You can collect the group if you are involved in any club.
You can collect the group if you are a working travel agency.

3. Trekking Guide

If you are a trekking guide, you can visit Manaslu for free. Foreign guides are highly recommended. You will need a trekking license from Nepal. If you're unfamiliar with the route, you can join as an assistant guide and learn about the trail. Once you're ready, you can lead a group on your own and also earn money.
