Manaslu Region

A guided Manaslu Circuit Trek costs USD 920 to 1,430 per person depending on group size. By the time you fly home you will have spent about USD 1,550 in a group of four, or USD 2,180 walking solo. Every line priced: permits, guide, porter, insurance, tips and what you spend on the trail.

The Manaslu Circuit is a 143.7KM loop around the world's eighth highest mountain, crossing Larkya La at 5,106M over 13 to 14 days. This guide covers difficulty, the day by day route, the three 2026 permits and the two-trekker rule that was removed in March 2026, cost, season and what to pack.

Manaslu Circuit Trek vs Everest Base Camp comes down to remoteness against infrastructure. Manaslu is 143.7KM over 14 to 18 days for USD 920 to 1,330, crossing Larkya La at 5,106M with almost nobody on the trail. Everest Base Camp is 11 to 14 days for USD 1,260 to 2,150, with the best lodges in Nepal and 60,000 trekkers a year.
