In response to the development of roads in recent years, we've strategically rerouted the trek to minimize road walking time."

Our Manaslu Circuit guide ensures your safety and comfort, offering the added bonus of having the trail to yourself!"

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.

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.
Trekking in Nepal has witnessed a surge in popularity in recent years, leading to the emergence of numerous tea houses along the country's trekking routes. The quality of these tea houses is directly proportional to the popularity of the route. Consequently, the tea houses and lodges along the Manaslu Circuit Trek offer excellent value for money. Anticipate amenities such as flush toilets, hot showers, and in some instances, even wireless internet in the lower regions. Usage of these facilities typically incurs an additional charge. As you ascend beyond 4000 meters, the accommodation becomes somewhat more basic. Nevertheless, your sojourn in the traditional Nepali villages is bound to be a memorable experience.
