Unlike the Annapurna Circuit, there are less options for completing the Manaslu Circuit, simply because it's more remote and there are no shorter versions possible. We offer one solid option for the route. This comprehensive 12-day package covers meals, accommodations, the trekking permits and conservation fees, and the support of a local crew, all included in the overall cost.
Let's delve deeper into the details.
Manaslu Circuit
Duration: 12 days
Approach: Kathmandu - Machha Khola: Tourist bus
Return: Dharapani - Kathmandu: Tourist bus
Approach: Complete hiking of the entire circuit

An important note to make is that all these Manaslu Circuit trek cost include the salary, food, accommodation and insurance for the guides and porters. This sounds logical but not every company makes these arrangements for their staff on the ground.
Prices of flights to Kathmandu vary, but Tribhuvan International Airport is well-served by some of the Gulf state airlines, such as Emirates Airlines and Qatar Airways. You can find a flight from Europe for less than 800 EUR whereas you may find a deal for around 1000 EUR from the east coast of the USA. Nepal is a very affordable country. A good quality accommodation can be found for less than 50 EUR and eating in local restaurants is generally cheap and very tasty.
