Manaslu Circuit Trek in 10月: what to expect

October is peak autumn, the most popular month of the year. Skies are usually clear and stable, trails are dry, and mountain views are at their best. It is also the busiest month: flights, buses and lodges fill early, and the national festivals bring crowds to Kathmandu and Pokhara. Mornings and evenings turn cold at altitude as the month goes on. Book rooms and transport well ahead. Partners with matching dates are easy to find in October, so post your trip early and agree the plan in writing. Leave slack for the festival period, when buses, flights and guides are in short supply and prices move with demand, so carry enough cash for lodges.

Manaslu Circuit in October is the peak season. Larkya La at 5,106 m is usually open, lodges at Samagaun and Samdo are open, and the permit is listed at USD 100 per week from September to November. A licensed guide and agency are required.

General seasonal guidance, not a forecast. Conditions change year to year; confirm weather, flights and trail status with your guide or lodge before you go.
