Manaslu Circuit Trek Accommodation

Manaslu Circuit Trek is one of the best teahouse treks in Nepal and the best alternative to Annapurna Circuit Trek. Mainly during the trek, you will be staying at the local teahouses operated by the local communities along the trek. Manaslu Circuit Trek Accommodation is pretty basic in service but very convenient. These teahouses have a common place for dining and relaxing, which is great for staying warm around the fire at night.

Although camping is possible, most trekkers prefer accommodating in the teahouses as it is comfortable and easy. The teahouse rooms are basic: twin sharing with shared bathrooms or separate bathrooms in some places. You will be provided with a blanket, but having your sleeping bag is much more convenient as the nights can get chilly.

In this article, you will learn about the teahouses and their service at each station of the Manalsu Trekking.
