    I was checking different reviews and realized that I forgot to ask about physical requirements for the track. I saw the feedback that this track is relatively difficult as Annapurna track, some people say it is much harder. I am not active in sport right now but ready to prepare for the track during 1 month before trip with running and cardio(used to run quite well before) and generally in good shape myself, and had experience with tracking (but till 4000m mostly). And wanted to double check - if we do 13 days program, it is gonna be doable? Or better to switch to 14 days?

    Sherpa Expedition TeamsOperator•Written March 2026

    Please note that the cost for a private jeep transfer from Kathmandu to the trek starting point, and from the trek ending point back to Kathmandu, is USD 250. (total from 2 people)

    Regarding the trek difficulty, this route is not very difficult. However, the daily camping distances are a bit longer compared to the Annapurna - Manaslu Circuit treks. Overall, this itinerary is considered a moderate-level trek, and normally you should expect to walk about 6–7 hours each day. The 13-day and 11-day itineraries are quite similar, as the route and schedule are almost the same. The 11-day option is also a very good and practical plan for the Manaslu trek.
