Manaslu circuit trek is a Demanding trek so we advise some previous trekking experience and proper physical fitness. Most of the days during your Manaslu circuit trek, you have to sleep over the height of 4000 meters. Additionally, the variation in altitude during the trail is the major factor that makes this trek a demanding one. The uneven trail, trekking uphills, and downhills on the rocky trail are the major obstacles for unfit trekkers. About 178 km long Manaslu circuit trek can be accomplished with proper guidance. Depending on your fitness level the trekking duration can be managed so that you can do this trek with ease. Crossing Larkya La pass is where precautions are strongly advised. Although the pass is not so technical, you still need to have proper guidance and strong physical stamina to cross the pass.
Even though, this trek is a restricted area trek in Nepal it is not as expensive as you thought. This trek is cheaper than the Everest base camp trek, however, it would be a little more expensive than the Annapurna base camp trek and Langtang valley trek. The hikeontreks Manaslu circuit trek cost is the best and most favorable cost price for you. It will cost 1200$ per person and still is negotiable depending on your preferences.
since it is a restricted area trek in the Manaslu region, all trekking activities in that region are regulated by the Government of Nepal. Hence, you will need a special trekking permit for this trek. Leave that to us. We will manage everything for you.
As per the rules, either you must trek in a group or you must take a guide in a compulsion for this trek. If you want to trek alone then you must buy an extra permit for that. Hence, you don’t need a guide in compulsion but it is going to cost you a little more if you wish to trek alone and the trek is somehow difficult for solo trekkers.
