**[Manaslu Circuit Trek](https://www.treknepalhimalayas.com/trip/manaslu-circuit-trek/)**[ ](https://www.treknepalhimalayas.com/trip/manaslu-circuit-trek/)is a raw Himalayan adventure that circles Nepal’s eighth-highest peak, offering quieter trails than the popular Everest and Annapurna routes. The journey from the lush Budhi Gandaki Valley rises through terraced hillsides, rhododendron forests, and Tibetan-style villages before cresting the dramatic 5,106-meter **[Larkya La pass.](https://www.treknepalhimalayas.com/larke-pass/)** Along the way, you experience vivid cultural exchanges, glacier views, and chances to spot blue sheep soaring at high altitudes. Trip Highlights ## Highlights of [Manaslu Circuit Trek](https://www.treknepalhimalayas.com/trip/manaslu-circuit-trek/) * **Suspension-Bridge Thrills over the Budhi Gandaki**: steel spans vaulting rainforest gorges and turquoise rapids, delivering dramatic first-week vistas and seamless village links. * **Authentic Nubri Culture**: Water-driven prayer wheels in Namrung, crimson Ribung Gompa in Lho, and yak-herding families greeting trekkers beside kilometer-long mani walls. * **Syala’s 360° Sunrise Arena (3,480 m**): Manaslu, Himal Chuli, and Ngadi Chuli blaze pink in one sweep of the eye, widely considered the circuit’s finest panorama. * **High-Value Acclimatisation Excursions:** Pungyen Gompa (4,000 m) beneath Manaslu’s south face and glacier-fed Birendra Lake offer textbook “climb high, sleep low” conditioning amid superb scenery. * **Frontier Life in Samdo (3,865 m):** last permanent hamlet before Tibet, famous for yak caravans, salt-for-barley trade lore, and commanding views of Samdo Peak. * **The trek’s ultimate achievement is Larkya La Summit Crossing (5,106 m)**: Pre-dawn snowfield ascent to a prayer-flag col revealing Cheo Himal, Himlung Himal, and distant Annapurnas. * **Epic Descent to Bimtang (3,590 m)**: One-day transition from glacial desert past Ponkar Lake to rhododendron forest and yak pastures, rewarding lungs with thicker air and trekkers with verdant sanctuary.

In many teams across Dubai and the UAE, research still isn’t a given. Sometimes it’s not done at all. Sometimes it’s done quickly by product managers or founders. Sometimes designers are expected to focus purely on delivery. And even when research *does* happen… It often struggles to influence decisions. Insights get lost. Teams move forward without clarity. So the question isn’t just how to do more research. It’s what actually makes research matter. This **[HCD UAE Meetup](https://www.hcd.ae/ "https://www.hcd.ae/")** explores what needs to change. From **research craft** to **ResearchOps** to **AI**, we’ll unpack the real gap between insight and impact through a live panel discussion. Expect honest perspectives, practical experiences, and an open conversation with the community. This session is co-hosted with the [Dubai User Experience Research (UXR) community](https://www.meetup.com/dubai-user-research/ "https://www.meetup.com/dubai-user-research/"), bringing together designers, researchers, and product teams in the same room to share perspectives and learn from each other. Stay tuned as we reveal the panel over the coming weeks. The session will be hosted by [Jonathan Steingiesser](https://www.steingiesser.design/ "https://www.steingiesser.design/"), who has worked across design, research, and innovation, including as Principal Design Researcher at MYOB in Australia. If you work in design, research, product, or leadership and have ever wondered why research doesn’t always land, this conversation is for you. 📍 Building A5, Digital Park, Dubai Silicon Oasis 🗓 Thursday, 21 May ⏰ 6.30PM ## Drinks Join us after for drinks at the Radisson Red rooftop pool. ## Hosted by **Human Centred Design UAE Meetup** ## Venue Partner **Dtec – Dubai Technology Entrepreneur Campus** One of the largest tech startup campuses in the region. ## Sponsor Proudly supported by **aspexx.** ## Join Us Whether you are a designer, researcher, product manager, founder, or simply curious about the future of design, this will be a fantastic evening of learning, conversation, and connection.

**Between the jagged ridges of the Vachkazhets Mountains and the expanse of the Pacific Ocean lies Kamchatka,** an untamed peninsula long considered **the very** **end of the world.** This is a place that exists in adventurers’ wildest dreams: a land where volcanoes breathe, glaciers carve into the earth, crystalline rivers flow through endless forest, and nature puts on a show that never gets old. Tucked away in the far east of Russia, this wild land is just a stone’s throw from Alaska across the Bering Sea. Once an exclusionary military zone, **Kamchatka remained closed to the outside world for decades**, and has only recently started welcoming curious travelers. That long isolation has kept it astonishingly pure, a rare frontier where the modern world still feels refreshingly far away. Here, **more than 300 volcanoes** **rise dramatically from emerald forests and golden tundra.** Dozens of them are still alive and rumbling. Snow-capped peaks tower above steaming valleys, giant Stellers sea eagles ride the winds, orcas glide through icy coastal waters, and king crabs rule the seabed. Keeping watch over it all is the true king of Kamchatka, the mighty brown bear. This season, we invite you **deep into the soul of southern Kamchatka**. We will conquer the landscapes in sturdy off-road trucks, raft down sparkling rivers, sail into the open Pacific, and soar by helicopter over smoking volcanoes and hidden geyser fields, reaching places few humans have ever set foot upon. In a single day you may wander from flower filled alpine meadows to bubbling geothermal wonderlands, bathe in wild hot springs, and watch salmon leap while brown bears fish just metres away. **In Kamchatka, nature is not merely scenery,** **but a living force.** You can feel its warm breath rising from the ground, hear its heartbeat in the roaring rivers, and taste its untamed spirit in the salt air and wild berries. **This trekkup is far more than a journey**. It is a rare and privileged immersion into one of the planet’s last great wildernesses, a land of fire and ice, bears and boiling springs, where the forces of creation still shape the earth before your eyes. Here, as we stand on the edge of the world, every moment reminds us how small we are, and how deeply alive we can feel when we stand face to face with raw, untamed nature. **Welcome to Kamchatka. Let’s go!** **DAY 1 // Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky & Paratunka** Following our 6-hour domestic flight across the endless Siberian skies, we’ll arrive in **Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky**. A quick drive will take us to our cozy hotel, where we’ll freshen up and have free time to take it easy, beat the jet lag, and get super excited for the days ahead! There’s the option to stroll around the historic centre of the town or head straight to **Paratunka** and its natural banya (hot springs) for a relaxing soak, in true Russian style. **DAY 2 // Starichkov Island sea trip** This morning we head straight to the seaport, jump on a boat and **head out of Avacha Bay into the Pacific Ocean**. Gliding past the silent sentinels of the Three Brothers rocks, we’ll pass weather-beaten Babushkin Kamen Island, and round the edge of Cape Stanitsky, where the sea opens to reveal **Starichkov Island**. This living sanctuary is a bird paradise, where thousands of puffins, guillemots, cormorants, and murrelets swoop and soar through the skies, watched by the seals and sea lions lounging on the rocks. What could make this day even more perfect? A delicious lunch! In our first introduction to regional delicacies, we’ll **feast like kings on fresh Kamchatka king crab**, flounder and rockfish. Heading back to port, we’ll stop at the city museum before wrapping up the day. **DAY 3 //** **ATV trip to Vilyuchinsky Pass & Dachnye Hot Springs** Today we jump on our ATVs and head straight into the wild volcanic landscape, our hair blowing in the wind. First stop is the **Vilyuchinsky Pass**, offering the stunning sight of a chain of nine volcano tops stretching out into the distance. On to **Dachnye Hot Springs**, known as the Mini Valley of Geysers, where hot mineral waters spill from the base of Mutnovsky volcano. An easy trek will get us up close and personal with the geothermal madness: steaming vents hissing like angry kettles, bright orange and yellow mud pots bubbling away, and colourful mineral deposits that look like someone spilled paint all over the ground. The air is thick with the sharp bite of sulphur. Hear the Earth breathing: slow, deep, and so alive! Hungry? A picnic amid this geothermal bonanza just hits different. A selfie with sandwich surrounded by steaming vents and bubbling pots will make it unforgettable! **DAY 4 // Snowmobile trip to Avachinsky Volcano** Today it’s time to stand face-to-face with the mighty Avachinsky, an active stratovolcano standing more than 2700 meters above the tundra. We’ll hop on our snowmobiles and roll up to base camp right on time for a tea break. We’ll explore this black and white playground further, feeling the how small we really are in this valley between the looming Avachinsky and Koryaksky volcanoes. Back to base camp for another round of hot tea before calling it a day and heading back to civilization. ALTERNATIVE direction (depending on the road conditions): **The Mayachny Cape.** **DAY 5 //** **Meet the locals & Ozerki** **thermal waters** Today we step away from the volcanoes and focus on **the human element of Kamchatka**, a place where the Koryak, Itelmen and Even peoples live in harmony, thriving in one of the harshest environments on Earth. We’ll learn how they’ve survived in this wild land for thousands of years: reindeer herding, fishing, and continuing shamanic traditions. Expect stories, songs, maybe a quick dance performance, and the chance to try on real national costumes for some epic shots. The highlight will surely be the kennel full of **energetic Kamchatka huskies** and other northern breeds. You can pet them and even try driving a dog sled yourself if you’re feeling brave! In the afternoon, we’ll head to **Ozerki** for today’s grand finale: bathing in the natural thermal radon water swimming pool. Silky-soft, pleasantly warm and therapeutic, any soreness or stress will instantly melt away. As we float, muscles turning to jelly, the cold Kamchatka air numbing our faces… this will be an experience we never forget. **DAY 6 // Optional activities** Free time at leisure for optional activities. **DAY 7 // King crabs & volcanic sands** For our final day, we’re going full Ocean Mode, meaning crab fishing and volcanic Pacific shores. After breakfast we’ll head to Avacha Bay, jump on a motorboat and commence our **hunt for Kamchatka king crab straight from the icy sea**. Back on shore, the crew will boil up the massive spiky legs right there in seawater. We’ll continue on to the legendary **Khalaktyrsky black sand beach**, walking barefoot on the dark volcanic sand with the Pacific waves crashing beside us. Wild, cinematic, unreal are the words to use here. On the way back to hotel, we’ll have time for a shopping haul at the fish market – think smoked fish, caviar, and souvenirs – before heading back to the hotel. **DAY 8 // Departure** Departure day. Airport transfer, bye bye Kamchatka! **Duration:** 8 days + flights. **Activities:** trekking, boating, snow mobile riding, geothermal bathing, crab fishing. **Grade:** Easy to moderate **Room & Meals:** 4\* hotels, double sharing. Meals excluded. **Cost:** **2,900 EUR + 3,000 AED** domestic flight from Novosibirsk OVB-PKC. **Cost valid until APRIL 30th.** International flights excluded. **Trip starts and ends** with domestic flights OVB-PKC. **Visa:** available online or through specialized agency at approx. 550-800 AED.

Arriving in Palmwag, the scenery turns dramatic: red hills, dry riverbeds, and desert-adapted wildlife territory. In the afternoon, head out on a scenic game drive through one of Namibia’s most untouched concessions. Keep your eyes open for desert elephants, giraffes, or even the elusive black rhino. **Day 3: Swakopmund** Today we follow the raw Atlantic edge of Namibia along the Skeleton Coast, a beautiful stretch of foggy shores, shipwreck stories, and endless horizons. Stop at Cape Cross, home to one of the largest Cape fur seal colonies in the world, their population is about 260 thousand individuals. By afternoon, arrive in Swakopmund, where desert dunes crash into the ocean. Indulge in this gorgeous locality with its beach walks, German inspired cafés, and few adrenaline options. Optional kayaking with seals or skydiving. **Day 4: Namib desert** Leave the coast behind and drive inland toward the legendary Namib — the oldest desert on Earth. On the way, stop at the Kuiseb Canyon viewpoint and cross the Tropic of Capricorn. The landscapes become vast, empty, almost cinematic. Arrive in the desert and settle into the silence. Golden light, endless horizons, and star filled skies above. **Day 5: Sossusvlei & Deadvlei** Early wake up call. We drive deep into Sossusvlei to catch sunrise over the towering dunes. Climb Dune 45 as the sand glows red and gold beneath your feet. Some dunes here rise nearly 400 meters, the highest in the world. Once we are done with picnic breakfast at the feet of the dune, we head for a walk through otherwordly Deadvlei, where the vast expanse of white salt contrasts with the surrounding red dunes and dried tree stumps. **Day 6: Sesriem Canyon - Windhoek** Before leaving the desert, explore Sesriem Canyon, carved over centuries by seasonal floods, a cool and shaded contrast to the dunes. Hit the road back to Windhoek. Upon arrival, enjoy city tour if time allows. Final sunset in Namibia deserving the last toast. **Day 7: Departure** Last souvenir shopping and heart breaking good bye to Namibia! **Activities:** Trekking, desert drives, sightseeing, encounter of wildlife and indigenous tribes, optional kayaking with seals. **Accommodation & meals:** boutique lodges and hotels - double sharing.
