You not only see the indescribable beauties, but also the panoramic view of the mountains that are covered with snow which captivates your every sense organ. Because of this, none of the trekkers is dissatisfied. Even when they trek in the isolated area, but which is loaded with snow-clad mountains, waterfalls, and lush forest.

Manaslu Trek is a platform of the journey in which you travel to see the view of Manaslu, the dramatic view, and what you see is the view of the world’s eighth highest mountain. This is its potential as well as a tagline.

Accommodation

In Kathmandu, you are going to stay at the 3-star category hotel (Value). During trekking, you will spend your night in a tea house. The tea house is a lodge or a guest house. The tea house is an old name for a lodge because trekkers and climbers gave this name 40 years ago. After all, it used to sell only tea then. Now they also sell meals as well as provide bedrooms for the trekkers and climbers. The old name tea house is still used by the trekking agencies in Nepal. Hence, the name tea house trek. Tea house differs from village to village where you are going to spend your night. Some have attached bathrooms as well as running a hot water facility, while others have only basic facilities, that is, you have to share a toilet and a bathroom with others. This is so because they are located at a high altitude and the remotest area. Some provide dormitory-style accommodation, but they also provide you a bed, a pillow, a blanket, and a bedsheet still, you must have your sleeping bag.
