Important Documents and Information to get these permit
During the Manaslu Circuit trip, food and lodging are crucial for trekkers. Every traveler on this route has a high priority for food and lodging. In the remote area of the nation where the Manaslu is situated, there are tea houses and lodges where the inhabitants warmly greet guests.
Food is essential during the hike. Burning food is the primary energy source for the journey. The phrase “Dal Bhat power, 24 hours” refers to a person’s ability to survive for almost a day after drinking dal bhat in Nepalese. Although dal bhat is the national food, other cuisines can also be prepared, such as vegetable and noodle soups.
Bread, eggs, pizza, prawns, momo, ramen noodles, sweets including ice cream and porridge, and steaks are regularly included on the menu. We will compile a complete list of your food preferences and provide it to the hotel where you will be staying throughout the Manaslu Circuit Trek, so visitors don’t need to worry about their meals.
Because they could have a bad impact on your physiology and health at higher altitudes, it is strongly advised that you avoid dairy products, hard drinks, and beverages with a lot of caffeine.
