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 — Included with CTG-Plus and CTG-Pro plans. Satellite tracking is essential 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

For the Manaslu Circuit, CTG-Plus ($150) covers altitudes up to 5,500m — comfortably above Larkya La at 5,160m. The plan includes the Tracer M3 GPS tracker, helicopter rescue coordination, and full AMS medical coverage. Given the restricted-area designation and longer helicopter response times, the satellite tracker is especially valuable on this route. For groups extending to Manaslu Base Camp (4,900m) or attempting Manaslu itself, CTG-Pro ($500) covers up to 6,000m.
