From cosy lower-valley lodges to basic high-camp teahouses — a stage-by-stage accommodation guide.

The Manaslu Circuit is a teahouse trek, meaning you'll sleep in locally-run lodges the entire way — no camping required. In the lower Budhi Gandaki valley, expect comfortable rooms with attached bathrooms and reliable hot showers.

Above Samagaon, facilities get simpler: shared bathrooms, solar-heated water (sometimes cold in winter), and thinner walls. Bring a good sleeping bag rated for sub-zero temperatures for the Samdo and Dharamsala stops before the Larke Pass crossing.

Wifi and charging are available at most lodges for a small fee, but coverage becomes patchy above 4,000m — plan for a digital detox on summit day.
