Manaslu Circuit Trekking Insurance
The Manaslu Circuit is a restricted-area trek requiring a special permit and a licensed guide. It crosses Larkya La Pass at 5,160m through one of the most remote corridors in Nepal, where helicopter response times can be significantly longer than on popular routes. CTG insurance from Himalayan Guardian provides helicopter rescue coordination, emergency medical coverage, and satellite GPS tracking for the full circuit from Soti Khola to Dharapani, including the high-altitude sections around Samagaon and the Larkya La crossing.
What Is Covered on the Manaslu Circuit
- ✓Helicopter rescue coordination — Emergency evacuation from Larkya La, Larkya Phedi, and remote sections of the circuit where ground evacuation is not possible.
- ✓AMS and altitude illness — Medical costs for acute mountain sickness treatment and emergency descent, critical given the rapid altitude gain on the Manaslu approach.
- ✓Tracer M3 GPS satellite tracker — An optional add-on to any CTG plan. Satellite tracking is especially worth it on the Manaslu Circuit, where cellular coverage is absent for multi-day stretches.
- ✓24/7 emergency response — Our Kathmandu operations team coordinates with Gorkha-based rescue services and helicopter operators at any hour.
Recommended Plan for Manaslu Circuit
The Manaslu Circuit sits in CTG's ≤ 5,500m altitude tier — comfortably above Larkya La at 5,160m, and the first tier where AMS medical treatment is included. Manaslu Base Camp (4,900m) falls inside the same tier. Your premium is calculated from that tier plus your trip duration, age and whether you add the Tracer M3, so check the plans page for your exact price.
- Accidental Death & Disability$35,000
- Accidental & AMS Medical Treatment$3,500
- Emergency Medical Transportation$4,500
- Repatriation of Corpse$2,000
Given the restricted-area designation and longer helicopter response times, the satellite tracker is especially valuable on this route. Climbing Larkya Peak (6,416m) alongside the circuit needs a Special Routes expedition plan instead, and Manaslu itself (8,163m) is above every CTG altitude ceiling.
