The Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trek Package by Asiana Treks and Tours is designed for travellers who want to experience the spectacular Manaslu region with greater comfort, private transportation, personalised trekking support, and carefully planned acclimatisation. This Manaslu luxury trek follows a scenic route from Kathmandu toward Jagat, through Deng, Namrung, Syala, Samagaun and Samdo, before crossing the challenging Larkya La Pass at approximately 5,106–5,160 meters and descending to Bhimthang and Dharapani. Published route references generally place the standard Manaslu Circuit at around 177 km, although the exact distance varies according to the starting point and side trips.
The itinerary combines adventure with a more comfortable luxury-trek style in Nepal. Private jeep transportation covers the road sections, while trekking days focus on mountain scenery, Himalayan villages, Buddhist culture, and gradual altitude gain. Because this is a high-altitude and restricted-area journey, the itinerary should always be operated with the required permits and licensed trekking support.

Highest point: Larkya La Pass, approximately 5,106–5,160 m
Starting trek point: Jagat
Ending trek point: Dharapani
Trek style: Private/luxury trekking experience

Major highlight: Larkya La Pass crossing
Company: Asiana Treks and Tours
The Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trek itinerary begins with a private Jeep journey from Kathmandu to Jagat, then heads through the Budhi Gandaki Valley and the high Himalayan settlements of the Manaslu region. Starting the walking section at Jagat makes this a more compact version of the traditional Manaslu trek while retaining major highlights such as Namrung, Syala, Samagaun, Samdo, Dharamsala, Larkya La and Bhimthang.
The itinerary is structured to allow gradual elevation gain, including an acclimatisation day at Samagaun before the trek moves toward Samdo and Dharamsala. The most demanding stage is crossing Larkya La from Larkya Phedi to Bhimthang, after which the trail descends toward Dharapani. Current route references similarly identify Samagaun, Samdo, Dharamsala, Larkya La, Bhimthang and Dharapani as the key upper-circuit stages.
The standard Manaslu Circuit Trek is commonly described as approximately 177 km from Machha Khola to Dharapani, but this figure does not directly apply to every itinerary. Starting the walking section at Jagat, as in this Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trek, removes part of the lower route and therefore reduces the distance walked. Side trips and route variations can also change the final total.
For a luxury itinerary, don't consider distance independently of altitude, terrain, and walking duration. The upper section becomes progressively more demanding even when daily kilometres decrease. The Larkya La crossing is particularly challenging because of altitude, cold, weather and the long ascent followed by a substantial descent.
Higher sections require slower, altitude-conscious pacing. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, but the Manaslu region supports diverse Himalayan fauna. Depending on season, location and luck, trekkers may encounter Himalayan birds experience. The lower and middle sections of the route feature communities with strong Gurung and Himalayan traditions, while the upper Nubri Valley has a pronounced Tibetan Buddhist cultural influence.
Larkya La crossing is the major high-altitude stage
Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trekking Cost 2025/2026/2027
The Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trekking Cost for 2025/2026 depends on accommodation level, private transportation, group size, guide and porter arrangements, permits, meals, Kathmandu hotel category, and additional services included in the package. A genuine Manaslu luxury trek generally costs more than a standard teahouse Manaslu trek because it emphasises private services and greater comfort.
Asiana Treks and Tours can determine the final package price based on your travel dates and selected services. Since permit fees, transportation conditions, accommodation availability and operational costs can change, travellers should request a current quotation rather than relying on an old published price.
The Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trekking Price Breakdown typically includes several major cost components rather than a single trekking fee. Transportation is especially important on this itinerary because private Jeep services connect Kathmandu, Jagat, Dharapani, and Besisahar. The price can also change depending on whether the traveller chooses single-room arrangements, upgraded Kathmandu hotels, additional porter services, or other personalised services.
Luxury trekking does not mean that every mountain teahouse provides five-star facilities. The upper Manaslu region remains remote, and accommodation becomes simpler at higher elevations. The luxury aspect is therefore reflected primarily in private logistics, professional service, careful planning, comfortable Kathmandu arrangements, and personalised support.
Altitude is one of the most important considerations on the Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trek. The route rises from the lower Budhi Gandaki Valley through Jagat, Deng, and Namrung toward Syala and Samagaun, then reaches Samdo and Dharamsala. The highest point is Larkya La, generally mapped or described at approximately 5,106–5,160 meters depending on the reference.
The itinerary includes an acclimatisation day at Samagaun before continuing higher. This provides an opportunity to rest and do a short activity while giving the body more time to adapt. You can't eliminate altitude by choosing a luxury trekking package, so gradual ascent, hydration, sensible pacing, and attention to symptoms remain essential.
The Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trek combines remote Himalayan scenery, cultural immersion, high-altitude adventure, and enhanced travel comfort. The route passes through dramatically different landscapes, from green river valleys and forests to Tibetan-influenced mountain settlements, alpine terrain and the snow-covered surroundings of Larkya La.
For travellers seeking a more personalised luxury trek in Nepal, private transportation makes the road sections more convenient, while professional trekking support lets the group focus on the mountain experience. The route also offers opportunities to visit traditional settlements such as Namrung, Syala, Samagaun, and Samdo.
Preparation for a Manaslu trek should focus on endurance, uphill walking, downhill control and altitude awareness. Luxury services can improve transportation and logistical comfort, but they do not reduce the physical demands of walking at high altitude. Regular walking, hiking, stair climbing and cardiovascular training before departure can help prepare the body.
Trekkers should also prepare appropriate clothing and equipment for changing conditions. The lower valley can be relatively warm while the upper Manaslu region can be cold, windy and snowy, particularly around Dharamsala and Larkya La. A professional guide should also assess daily conditions and decide whether to cross the pass.
Travellers should expect a changing landscape throughout the Manaslu Circuit Trekking experience. The lower trail follows dramatic river valleys and forested terrain, while the route around Namrung and Syala opens toward larger Himalayan peaks. Samagaun and Samdo introduce a much more alpine environment, with traditional stone houses, Buddhist monuments and wide mountain views.
The accommodation experience also changes with altitude. A luxury trekking package can provide comfort where facilities allow, but remote mountain settlements have practical limits. The greatest luxury is often private logistics, experienced staff, flexible support, and carefully managed transportation while you experience a genuinely remote Himalayan route.
Oxygen availability decreases as elevation increases, so altitude management is essential on the Manaslu luxury trek. At approximately 3,500–4,000 meters, trekkers may notice that ordinary physical activities require more effort. Above 4,000 meters, the ascent toward Dharamsala and Larkya La becomes considerably more demanding.
The acclimatisation day at Samagaun is therefore an important part of the itinerary. Trekkers should promptly report symptoms such as persistent headache, unusual dizziness, nausea, significant fatigue, or breathing difficulties to their guide. Severe or worsening altitude-related symptoms require appropriate descent and medical assessment, not simply continuing upward.
Major settlements on this Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trekking route include Jagat, Deng, Namrung, Syala, Samagaun, Samdo, Larkya Phedi, and Bhimthang. Each settlement marks a different stage of the journey, while the landscape shifts from forest and river gorge to high Himalayan terrain. The upper route around Samagaun and Samdo offers dramatic views of Manaslu and the surrounding peaks.
Larkya La is the trek's principal scenic and physical landmark. From the pass, the landscape opens into a spectacular high-mountain panorama before the trail descends toward Bhimthang. Depending on weather and your itinerary timing, you can add additional viewpoints and side excursions.
The Manaslu Circuit Trek passes through several ecological environments as elevation increases. Lower sections feature greener vegetation, forests, and agricultural landscapes, while the upper route gradually transitions to alpine meadows, rocky terrain, and sparse high-altitude vegetation. This ecological variation defines trekking around Manaslu.
Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, but the Manaslu region supports diverse Himalayan fauna. Depending on season, location and luck, trekkers may encounter Himalayan birds and mountain wildlife. Visitors should observe animals from a distance and avoid feeding or disturbing them.
Culture is a major part of the Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trek experience. The lower and middle sections of the route feature communities with strong Gurung and Himalayan traditions, while the upper Nubri Valley has a pronounced Tibetan Buddhist cultural influence. Traditional houses, monasteries, chortens, prayer flags and mani walls become increasingly prominent as the trail climbs toward Samagaun and Samdo.
Festivals and religious traditions follow local Buddhist and Himalayan calendars, so exact dates vary each year. Travellers visiting during a local celebration may have an opportunity to observe traditional ceremonies, music, dances and community gatherings, provided they do so respectfully.
Asiana Treks and Tours can organise the Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trek as a private, carefully coordinated Himalayan journey. This itinerary combines private Jeep transportation, experienced trekking support, comfortable accommodation where available, planned acclimatisation, and a well-managed route through the remote Manaslu region. This carefully structured Manaslu luxury trek lets travellers experience the dramatic landscapes and cultural heritage of the Manaslu Circuit while receiving personalised support throughout the journey.
The Manaslu Circuit Trek reaches the challenging Larkya La Pass at 5,160 meters, so proper preparation, pacing, and acclimatisation are essential. Asiana Treks and Tours can coordinate the logistics of the Manaslu Circuit trekking experience, including transportation between Kathmandu and the trailheads, trekking arrangements, permits, guides, and porter support.
Asiana Treks and Tours can arrange your Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trek based on your preferred travel dates, group size, accommodation preferences, and transportation requirements. The company can help prepare the trekking schedule and organise the necessary logistics before you begin the journey from Kathmandu.
Because the Manaslu Circuit Trek involves remote mountain terrain and a high-altitude pass, advance planning is important. Asiana Treks and Tours can help with permits, guides and porters, private Jeep transportation, accommodation, and other essential preparations for a comfortable, well-organised Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trek.
Altitude is a key consideration on the Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trek, especially as the itinerary approaches Samagaun, Samdo, Larkya Phedi, and the 5,160-meter Larkya La Pass. The itinerary includes a dedicated acclimatisation day in Samagaun, giving trekkers time to adjust to the increasing elevation before continuing toward the high pass. Even on a luxury Manaslu trek, comfortable services do not eliminate the physical effects of altitude.
Asiana Treks and Tours can help monitor the group's pace and general condition throughout the Manaslu Circuit Trek. Trekkers should immediately report symptoms such as headache, nausea, unusual tiredness, dizziness, or breathing difficulties to the guide. Treat severe or worsening symptoms seriously, and descent may be necessary.
Weather conditions can significantly affect the Manaslu Circuit trekking experience. Lower valleys can be warmer, while higher sections around Samdo, Larkya Phedi, and Larkya La can be cold, windy, and snowy. Conditions may change rapidly at high elevations, particularly around the pass.
Asiana Treks and Tours can organise the Manaslu luxury trek according to the prevailing trekking season and local trail conditions. Autumn and spring are traditionally popular trekking periods, while monsoon and winter can bring additional challenges such as rain, snow, muddy trails, cold temperatures, or difficult pass conditions.
The standard itinerary for this Manaslu Circuit Trek uses private Jeep transportation rather than a domestic flight to reach Jagat. This avoids relying on a flight for the initial trailhead journey and lets the trek start directly by road from Kathmandu.
Domestic flights can nevertheless be relevant to alternative Manaslu itineraries or connecting travel elsewhere in Nepal. Mountain weather, visibility, operational conditions, and other factors can cause delays or cancellations. Asiana Treks and Tours can help travellers coordinate alternative transportation arrangements when required.
The Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trek is a physically demanding high-altitude trek despite its luxury-oriented organisation. The itinerary includes several consecutive trekking days, long walking sections, significant elevation gain, and the crossing of Larkya La at 5,160 meters. Good cardiovascular fitness, leg strength, endurance, and preparation for walking on uneven mountain trails are beneficial.
Travellers should prepare progressively before beginning their Manaslu trek. Regular walking, hiking, stair climbing, and aerobic exercise can help build endurance. Asiana Treks and Tours can provide general trekking guidance and organise the itinerary so that travellers have planned rest and acclimatisation opportunities.
Appropriate travel insurance is an important part of preparing for a luxury trek in Nepal. Because this Manaslu Circuit trekking itinerary reaches 5,160 meters, travellers should carefully check that their policy covers high-altitude trekking and emergency evacuation under the circumstances applicable to their trip.
The Manaslu region also requires trekking documentation and permits. Asiana Treks and Tours can help travellers arrange the required permits and explain the documents needed for the planned Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trek. Travellers should carry copies of important documents and their insurance information during the trek.
The Manaslu Circuit Trek passes through traditional Himalayan villages where local communities have distinctive cultural traditions, religious practices, architecture, and ways of life. Villages such as Namrung, Syala, Samagaun, and Samdo offer opportunities to experience the region's cultural character while travelling through the mountain landscape.
During a luxury Manaslu trek, combine comfort and personalised service with respect for local communities. Asiana Treks and Tours encourages responsible interaction with residents, monasteries, prayer walls, chortens, and other culturally significant places.
The Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trek's remote character makes responsible tourism especially important. The trail passes through sensitive mountain environments, forests, rivers, villages, and high-altitude landscapes. Trekkers can help protect the destination by minimising waste and avoiding unnecessary environmental impact.
Asiana Treks and Tours can incorporate responsible trekking practices into Manaslu Circuit treks, including proper waste management, respect for local resources, and responsible use of accommodations and transportation. Luxury travel doesn't have to mean excessive consumption of limited mountain resources.
A private Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trek provides greater flexibility than a fixed group departure. A private arrangement lets you coordinate the trekking schedule, transportation, pace, and overall experience around your preferences, subject to trail conditions, accommodation availability, and safety considerations.
Asiana Treks and Tours can organise private Manaslu luxury trek arrangements for couples, families, friends, or small groups. Group departures offer a social trekking environment, while private trekking provides a more personalised experience throughout the Manaslu trek.
Communication becomes increasingly limited as the Manaslu Circuit Trek moves deeper into the remote Himalayan region. Mobile network availability can vary between villages and sections of trail, while Wi-Fi may be available at selected teahouses and lodges for an additional charge. Travellers should not expect continuous internet connectivity throughout the Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trek.
For a comfortable Manaslu luxury trek, prepare key travel information before leaving Kathmandu. Asiana Treks and Tours can provide practical guidance about communication options along the route, while trekkers should keep essential documents, emergency information, and important contacts available offline.
Electricity is generally available in many villages along the Manaslu Circuit Trek, but charging becomes more limited as the trail reaches higher, more remote areas. Some lodges offer charging for a fee, and availability depends on local electricity supply and weather conditions.
Travellers joining a luxury trek in Nepal should still prepare for limited charging opportunities. Asiana Treks and Tours recommends carrying appropriate charging equipment so cameras, mobile phones, GPS devices, and other essential electronics remain usable during the Manaslu Circuit trek.
Meals on the Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trek are generally provided through teahouses, lodges, and trekking accommodations along the route. Common trekking meals can include rice and lentils, noodles, soups, pasta, Tibetan-style dishes, potatoes, vegetables, eggs, bread, and other simple meals. At higher elevations, food choices can become more limited because supplies must be transported into remote mountain settlements.
Safe drinking water is especially important on the Manaslu trek because proper hydration supports your body at altitude. Trekkers should use treated, filtered, or otherwise appropriately purified water. Personal hygiene can also become more basic at higher elevations, so carrying hand sanitiser, tissues, and personal toiletries helps make the Manaslu Circuit more comfortable.
The Manaslu Circuit Trek passes through remote mountain areas where access to medical facilities can be limited, particularly around the higher sections of the route. Minor injuries, altitude-related problems, dehydration, and weather-related difficulties can require prompt attention. A qualified trekking team can monitor conditions and coordinate assistance when needed.
For a Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trek, complete emergency planning before entering the route's remote section. Asiana Treks and Tours can help with trekking logistics and emergency coordination, including contacting relevant local services when needed. Travellers should also have appropriate travel insurance that specifically covers high-altitude trekking and emergency evacuation.
Porters are an important part of many Manaslu Circuit trekking arrangements because they allow trekkers to carry a lighter daypack while the main luggage is transported between overnight stops. On a Manaslu luxury trek, this can make long trekking days more comfortable, especially on the demanding sections approaching Larkya La Pass.
Trekkers should pack carefully and avoid unnecessary items because porter capacity and transportation conditions are limited in the remote Himalayas. Asiana Treks and Tours can advise on the right luggage arrangement for your Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trek, including what should stay in your personal daypack and what the porter can carry.
International visitors generally need appropriate documentation to enter Nepal and should ensure their passport is valid for the required period. Depending on nationality and circumstances, travellers may obtain a Nepal tourist visa through the applicable official process. Trekkers should also arrange the required documentation for the Manaslu Circuit Trek before starting the trekking portion of the journey.
Nepalese currency is the main currency used along the Manaslu trek, and banking access becomes very limited once you leave the main urban areas. Carrying sufficient Nepalese rupees for personal expenses, charging, snacks, drinks, tips, and other incidental costs is therefore advisable. Asiana Treks and Tours can help with practical pre-trek information and documentation at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. After arrival, travellers proceed through immigration and customs, collect their luggage, and meet their trekking arrangements. Keep your passport, visa documents, accommodation details, and other essential travel information readily accessible during check-in. Check current Nepal entry and visa requirements for your nationality, as regulations can change. Asiana Treks and Tours can help coordinate private Kathmandu-to-Jagat jeep arrangements for your luxury trek in Nepal.
Travellers beginning a Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trek normally arrive in Kathmandu through Tribhuvan International Airport. After arrival, travellers go through immigration and customs, collect their luggage, and meet their trekking arrangements. Keep your passport, visa documents, accommodation details, and other essential travel information readily accessible during arrival.
Before travelling, trekkers should check current Nepal entry and visa requirements for their nationality, as regulations can change. Asiana Treks and Tours can help coordinate your arrival in Kathmandu and subsequent transportation arrangements for the Manaslu Circuit Trek, including the private Jeep journey to the trekking starting area.
Your luxury Manaslu Circuit adventure with Asiana Treks and Tours begins with a scenic private Jeep journey from Kathmandu toward Jagat, the starting point of the trekking section. The drive takes you away from the busy Kathmandu Valley and into the beautiful countryside of central Nepal. Along the way, you pass terraced farmland, traditional villages, green hills, and dramatic river valleys. After following the Budhi Gandaki River through increasingly rugged landscapes, you arrive at Jagat, where you spend the night and prepare for the trek ahead.
After breakfast, your trek officially begins as you follow the trail from Jagat toward Deng. The route passes through beautiful mountain villages, lush forests, terraced hillsides, and suspension bridges spanning the Budhi Gandaki River. The landscape gradually becomes more dramatic as the trail enters the higher Himalayan valleys. You will encounter traditional Gurung communities and experience the peaceful mountain lifestyle of the region. With the support of your experienced trekking team, you walk at a comfortable pace, enjoying the scenery and allowing your body to gradually adapt to the increasing elevation before reaching Deng.
Today’s trail takes you deeper into the Manaslu region as you trek from Deng toward Namrung. The surrounding landscape becomes increasingly alpine, with cliffs, dense pine and rhododendron forests, waterfalls, and impressive mountain views. You continue along the Budhi Gandaki Valley, crossing suspension bridges and passing through small settlements that reflect the Tibetan-influenced culture of the upper Manaslu region. As you approach Namrung, the mountains become more prominent, and on clear days you can enjoy spectacular views toward Manaslu and the surrounding Himalayan peaks. Namrung provides a comfortable overnight stop before continuing higher.
Accommodation Gust House 
Meals B/L/D The journey continues from Namrung to the picturesque village of Syala. As you gain altitude, the vegetation gradually changes from lush woodland to more open alpine terrain. The trail passes through traditional villages and offers increasingly magnificent views of the Manaslu mountain range. The Himalayan panorama becomes one of the major highlights of today’s walk, with snow-covered peaks appearing dramatically above the valley. After reaching Syala, you have time to relax and enjoy the peaceful mountain surroundings. The combination of spectacular scenery, comfortable pacing, and professional support makes this an enjoyable stage of the luxury Manaslu Circuit experience.
Today is one of the most scenic days of the Manaslu Circuit as you trek from Syala to Samagaun. The trail leads through an impressive high-altitude landscape surrounded by snow-covered Himalayan peaks. You pass through the village of Pungyen and continue toward the broad valley where Samagaun is located. Along the way, the views of Manaslu become increasingly impressive, creating excellent opportunities for photography and quiet appreciation of the mountains. Samagaun is one of the most important settlements on the circuit and offers a fascinating glimpse into the traditional Tibetan-influenced culture and lifestyle of the local communities.
Today is dedicated to acclimatization in Samagaun, allowing your body to adjust safely to the increasing altitude before you continue toward the Larkya La Pass. Rather than remaining completely inactive, a short excursion is recommended to keep your body moving. Depending on conditions and your energy level, you can explore the surrounding village, visit nearby monasteries, or hike toward higher viewpoints for spectacular views of Manaslu and the surrounding peaks before returning to Samagaun. This carefully planned rest day is an important part of the itinerary and helps make the higher sections of the trek more comfortable.
After breakfast, you leave Samagaun and continue toward Samdo, one of the highest permanent settlements along the Manaslu Circuit. The trail gradually climbs through a beautiful, increasingly barren Himalayan landscape, following the Budhi Gandaki Valley toward the Tibetan border region. The surrounding peaks appear closer and more dramatic as you gain altitude. The walk is relatively moderate in distance, but the elevation requires a steady and comfortable pace. Upon reaching Samdo, you can explore the traditional village and enjoy views of the surrounding mountains while preparing for the challenging high-altitude stages ahead.
Today you trek from Samdo toward Larkya Phedi, also known as Dharamsala, the final overnight stop before crossing the Larkya La Pass. The trail climbs steadily through a rugged, high-altitude landscape where vegetation becomes sparse and the surrounding mountains dominate the horizon. You cross exposed terrain and enjoy impressive views of glaciers, rocky slopes, and snow-covered Himalayan peaks. Since you will be trekking at considerable altitude, your guide maintains a comfortable pace with appropriate rest breaks and hydration stops. At Larkya Phedi, you settle in early and prepare for the demanding pass-crossing day
Today is the most challenging and rewarding day of your Manaslu Circuit adventure. You make an early start from Larkya Phedi and ascend toward Larkya La Pass at approximately 5,160 meters. The climb is gradual but demanding because of the high altitude and rugged terrain. Reaching the pass is a major achievement, rewarded by spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks and glaciers. After spending some time appreciating the incredible scenery, you begin the long descent toward Bhimthang. The landscape changes dramatically as you descend, eventually reaching the beautiful mountain settlement of Bhimthang for a well-earned overnight stay.
After the demanding pass-crossing day, today’s trek takes you from Bhimthang toward Dharapani. The trail descends through changing landscapes, including alpine meadows, pine and rhododendron forests, and traditional mountain settlements. As you lose altitude, the vegetation becomes greener and the atmosphere noticeably warmer. The route provides a pleasant contrast to the barren high-altitude terrain experienced around Larkya La. You continue through beautiful forested sections and alongside mountain streams before reaching Dharapani, an important settlement and road-access point on the Annapurna and Manaslu trekking routes. Here you can relax and celebrate the completion of the main trekking section.
Your final day begins with a private Jeep journey from Dharapani toward Besisahar. The drive follows winding mountain roads through picturesque villages, river valleys, terraced farmland, and lush hills. After reaching Besisahar, you continue by private vehicle toward Kathmandu, enjoying the changing scenery as the landscape gradually transitions from the Himalayan foothills to the Kathmandu Valley. Upon arrival in Kathmandu, your Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trek with Asiana Treks and Tours comes to an end. After eleven memorable days of trekking, mountain scenery, cultural encounters, and Himalayan adventure, you can relax at your hotel and enjoy the satisfaction of completing the Manaslu Circuit.

Booking Terms, Cancellation & Refunds for Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trek Packages
Booking terms for a Manaslu Circuit Luxury Trek can depend on the selected package, travel dates, permits, transportation arrangements, accommodation, and other services included in the itinerary. Because the Manaslu Circuit Trek involves advance logistical planning and restricted-area trekking permits, travelers should carefully review the payment schedule, inclusions, exclusions, and cancellation conditions before confirming their journey with Asiana Treks and Tours.
Cancellation and refund policies may vary depending on when the cancellation is made and whether costs such as permits, private Jeep transportation, accommodation, guide and porter services, or other advance arrangements have already been committed. Travelers booking a Manaslu luxury trek should request the current written terms from Asiana Treks and Tours before making payment.
