This is one of the classic Manaslu trek itineraries and probably the best we would recommend as you will spend more time in the lower elevation area and have more interaction with local villagers. Also, you do not need to worry about local transportation and some areas being impassable. We think this itinerary is ideally best for families, senior citizens, and those who may not have enough trekking experience in high-elevation. It is also good if you want to take your time exploring the Manaslu area. Please find below our Manaslu Trek Itinerary 17 Days with the number of hours of travel required each day and the estimated elevation of the camp. However, Manaslu trek itinerary can be completed in different days and time frame fastest as 14days and 22 days with Tsum Valley or as always everyone’s choice 17 days Manaslu trek can be the best option if you have enough time.
