Questions
Before you commit
Answer · 01 of 10
Flights & buffer days
To reach the trailhead for the Manaslu Circuit Trek, you will start with a drive from Kathmandu to Machhakhola. An ETE representative will meet you at Tribhuvan International Airport in an EV private vehicle for your transfer. It's wise to build some buffer days into your itinerary for potential road conditions and weather delays, especially around Larkya La. We monitor conditions and adjust departures if necessary.
