I am travelling with my husband and my 17 year old daughter and would like to do the manaslu circuit and tag on a short trip to complete the tilicho lake in the annapurna region. We do not wish to complete the annapurna circuit, just that portion from manang to the lake, returning to kathmandu. we only have around 17 days in total including our travel, therefore it would be great to do both these trips.

I'm happy to confirm that your idea is completely possible within your available timeframe. Combining the Manaslu Circuit Trek with a short side trip to Tilicho Lake from Manang (without completing the full Annapurna Circuit) works well, even with a total of around 17 days including international travel, and it is also suitable for trekking with your 17-year-old daughter. Your proposed departure date of Saturday, 26 September 2026 is an excellent time for both regions in terms of weather, scenery, and trail conditions.

1) is there a travel insurance included in the price? if not what options do we have?

is the price refers to group or private tour? what is the maximum number of people in a group?

  You will stay in tea houses along the Manaslu Circuit, which all have beds. While the beds are provided, you will need a sleeping bag due to the cold temperatures. Our company provides sleeping bags for the duration of the trek.
- Himalayan Recreation Treks & Expedition Pvt.ltdOperator•Written May 2024
  The dining areas in tea houses are heated, but the rooms are not. The accommodations are basic but comfortable, offering a genuine experience of the local culture along the Manaslu route.
- Himalayan Recreation Treks & Expedition Pvt.ltdOperator•Written May 2024
  Most tea houses offer Wi-Fi for an additional cost, and electricity is generally available. Nepal uses type C, D, and M sockets, so please bring the appropriate adapters for your devices.
