Moreover, you learn all about Manaslu Circuit Trek here: Manaslu Circuit Trek: A Complete Trekkers' Guide 

We have to take 16 days Manaslu Circuit Trek is a strenuous trek in the Himalayas of Nepal. Why it is a strenuous trek? It is a strenuous trek because the trekkers are venturing into the wild mountains in the remote areas of Nepal where there are no good facilities for food and accommodation and most importantly, they are ascending above 5000m which is Larkya La Pass, (5106m) the highest elevation of this trek. Moreover, most of the trekking days will be spent above 4500m high in Manaslu Circuit Trek. So, the remoteness and the trekking to a high altitude above 5000m make this trek challenging and strenuous. 

Foods and Accommodation 
The food and accommodation you are going to use during 16 days  Manaslu Circuit Trek will be very ordinary but sufficient and fresh enough. Relatively, the Manaslu Circuit trek food and accommodation will be poorer than in the other treks like Everest Base Camp Trek and Annapurna Base Camp Trek. 

The accommodation will be in local people’s Loudge which is basic and small but neat and clean. The food items you are going to have will be made by the local people. There won’t be any highly professional cooks to cook your food for the trek. However, you sufficiently survive and they prepare properly cooked and hygienic. Here, we suggest you bring some light snacks with you so that you won’t go hungry. And, for Accommodation, you can carry your sleeping bag or ask the travel company to provide it for you. 

Required Permits 
One requires obtaining four different permits for 16 days of Manaslu Circuit Trek. These permits are: Manaslu Conservation Area Entry Permit, TIMS ( Trekking Information Management System), Annapurna Conservation Area Permit and Restricted Area Permit since the Manaslu Trekking route is a restricted area trek. One is required to obtain an Annapurna Conservation Area Entry Permit because the Manaslu Circuit Trekking Trail overlaps Annapurna Conservation as well. This trek route is a restricted area because the trail is based on the border between Nepal and Tibet and due to security issues, it is a restricted area. These trekking permits are easily obtained by your travel company located in Nepal for you. It requires at least people to obtain a restricted area permit. So, if you are a solo traveller, you have to find another company to obtain it. 

Getting  to the trailhead and back
Those who are doing their Manaslu Circuit Trek need to take a bus or jeep ride to Machhakhola. The regular bus goes up to Machhakhola from Kathmandu. You can book and take a private jeep directly from Kathmandu to Machhakhola. But the cost will rise. The majority of the trekkers choose to travel by bus to Machhakhola from Kathmandu as a means of transportation. You will begin this drive from Kathmandu City and pass through Trishili Riverside. From Malekhu, you will switch your drive to Dhading Bensi, the district headquarters and ascend to Muralibhanjyang and then down to Aankhu Khola. Next, you will drive to Salyantar and cross the motorable bridge over the Budhigandaki River, you will head for  Machhakhola via Sotikhola. The bus drive goes another way via  Gorkha.

While returning after wrapping up the trek, you will do the same or optionally, you can go to Besisahar and take a bus trip to Kathmandu. It's up to you.

 Preparations 

One requires good preparation for your Manaslu Circuit Trek since it is a challenging and adventurous trek in Nepal in the Manaslu region. A Level of fitness and stamina is required for this trek as you are ascending 5000m high above sea level that is Larkya La Pass(5,106 metres (16,752 ft), one of the highest mountain passes in the world.

One needs to have prior trekking experience above 4000m above sea level and needs to do tough physical exercises going ups and downs with a backpack. Also, prepare the right and reliable trekking equipment/gear that will help you make your Manaslu Circuit Trek more convenient and memorable.

Also, address your existing illnesses if you have any by visiting your doctor and carrying right medicine you require on the trail.

Guide and Porter 
One required hiring a licensed guide for their Manaslu Circuit Trek. No trekkers are permitted to enter into Manaslu Circuit Trekking trail without accompanying a licensed trekking guide. Since Manaslu Circuit Trek is a restricted trekking, it is very sensitive and one mandatorily has to take a guide but in case of hiring a porter, it’s optional. If you think you can carry your luggage on your own, you don’t need to hire a porter or if you think you can’t do so, then, hire a porter for you to carry your necessary stuff for you during your Manaslu Circuit Trek. 

You will have a local guide who can tell you everything about local people, their culture, lifestyle, history and civilization, flora and fauna and each mountain peaks in detail. The guide will let you know as much as you want during your trip. He/she will have expertise in the respective language and will also be very hospitable.
