During the trek, meals are simple yet nourishing, designed to provide the necessary energy for high-altitude hiking. The staple meal is Dal Bhat, a traditional Nepali dish consisting of rice, lentil soup, vegetables, and pickles, often with unlimited refills. Other common options include noodles, soups, Tibetan bread, pancakes, porridge, momos (dumplings), and fried rice. Breakfast typically consists of eggs, toast, porridge, or chapati with tea or coffee. While fresh vegetables and meats are available in lower elevations, food choices become more basic at higher altitudes due to limited supplies. Trekkers on a budget can stick to Dal Bhat for the best value, while those wanting variety can try different local and Western dishes offered in teahouses.
Accommodation along the Manaslu Trek is in teahouses, which are basic mountain lodges run by local families. These teahouses provide small rooms with twin beds, simple mattresses, blankets, and pillows. In lower elevations, some lodges offer attached bathrooms, but as you go higher, shared squat toilets and bucket showers become the norm. While Wi-Fi, hot showers, and charging facilities are available, they come at an extra cost. In peak season, teahouses can get crowded, so early arrival is recommended to secure a good spot. For budget trekkers, basic rooms are free as long as meals are purchased from the lodge. Despite the simplicity, the hospitality and warmth of the locals make staying in teahouses a unique and memorable experience.
