Monsoon closure: Budhi Gandaki gorge landslide-active
Monsoon rain has made the gorge trail between Machha Khola and Jagat landslide-active, with two sections rerouted onto temporary paths as of late June. We run no Manaslu departures until the third week of September, and the Department of Immigration permit desk confirms the winter rate of USD 75/week applies through August for anyone considering an early shoulder-season entry. Dharamsala lodges reopen mid-September.
