Phunuru and the team departed Samagaon this morning and ascended the trail up to Manaslu Base Camp, with some great views along the way! For the history buffs out there, this trail was significantly improved by Russell Brice back in the old days before Manaslu became so popular, and now it is an excellent route. Phunuru says the mountain conditions look good and the Base Camp does too. They were welcomed by their cook team who made them a special cake!
