Physical condition & experience requirements? 
     For a physically fit person of all ages with sound health who has done moderately to strenuous walking and activity before or at present. This type of trek involves long ups and downs and the length of walking will be from 5 – 7 hours every day with rest and breaks in between.  The whole trip goes from a week to two weeks or more in the high altitude. This trip is for well-experienced people who have done previous long high hills or mountainous trekking in and around the Himalayas or other mountainous areas on rough terrains, this trip involves walking in snow and ice conditions sometimes and encountering high of over 4,000 meters passes, as for moderate people can join on this type of trips as long they are super physically fit and a mind with positive and determinations. Past hiking experience is a must but no technical skill is required for this trip .participants with pre-existing medical conditions such as heart, lung, and blood diseases should inform well plan trekking before booking the trek. we also recommend that you consult your doctors before the trip.

What type of Meals during the trek?

In the city, only breakfast is included in the trip itinerary. While on the trek, we provide good quality food in sufficient quantities from Tea Houses/Mt. lodges. We provide all meals on full board (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and tea & coffee) from the teahouse menu during the trekking period. Various meals include noodles items, soups, bread, rice items, curries, spaghetti, pizza, egg items, potato items, pasta, the fresh vegetables so overall you have a different choice of food on the trek.

What about the drinking water?

Staying hydrated is important when undertaking any physical activity but particularly so at the altitude where it is generally recommended to drink at least 3-4 liters per person per day. We strongly encourage you not to buy bottled water on the trek as this contributes to the growing problem of plastic pollution in Nepal’s trekking areas. All tea houses will provide cold water free of charge if requested. Although this should not be drunk untreated, we recommend bringing a reusable bottle with a wide opening (Nalgene or similar) and using a SteriPEN to treat it. A Steripen is a handheld UV water purifier – small, lightweight, and battery-powered so it is easy to pack for a trek. In Nepal’s trekking regions, most of the bottled water isn’t strictly ‘mineral water’ anyway but is UV-treated, so it’s the same technology. It’s quick to use, far more effective than purification tablets, and the water is ready immediately. It’s fine to use a SteriPEN on non-boiled water so long as it isn’t cloudy or full of sediment (which is uncommon in these regions).

What about the Climate and Weather  Manaslu circuit trekking?
The climate of Nepal is as varied as its geography. The low-lying Terai has a sub-tropical monsoonal climate.
