On the trail above a braided river, the Manaslu Circuit opens like a map of weather and rock: tight river gorges give way to rhododendron forests, then to high, wind-scoured moraine beneath the Larke-La at 5,106 m.

Yes; Manaslu is a restricted area requiring a special permit and TIMS card; permits are issued on business days and typically require at least two trekkers and a licensed guide.
The highest point is Larke-La at about 5,106 m, reached on a long, early start day with rocky, glacier-adjacent terrain.
Accommodation is primarily teahouse lodges with basic rooms and shared facilities; food is simple but hearty—bring snacks for high days.
Autumn (Sept–Nov) and spring (Mar–May) are best for stable weather and mountain views; monsoon and winter present more hazards.
The Manaslu region opened gradually to foreign trekkers in the 1990s; it remains regulated to protect local communities and cultural sites.
The Manaslu Conservation Area enforces permit rules, community-managed lodges and waste-reduction measures—carry out all non-biodegradable trash and follow local guidance.
