Manaslu Trekcould do just Camping organize trip last three years ago but there is basic Teahouse entire trip now a days.  Mostly, you will stay in Lodge and having food same place (Dhal Bhat=main Nepali food, Fried rice, Bread, Boiled and fried eggs, Potato, Noodles, porridge, tea coffee tec.)  But if you visit Tsum Valley area, this is home stay trip (where you can have the food there at someone house and provide accommodation). If you have time, I would like recommend you Tsum Valley too; which is itself restricted area and open since 2008.   This trip is combination of cultural and religious, which is a unique trip among numbers trekking trail of the Nepal. 

This trip is combination of unique cultural and religious, which is a unique trip among numbers trekking trail of the Nepal. 

First of all I would like to inform you, for the Manaslu Circuit Trek, you need minimum 2 people in a Group, which you already have. And as this is a restricted area trip, you need 3 different permits:

[I] MCAP (Manaslu Conservation Area Project) Trekking,

[II] ACAP (Annapurna Conservation Area Project) permits,

[III] Manaslu Restricted Area Trekking Permit

While organizing those permits, the immigration office asking for your Nepal visa which must be validate entire trip and original passport with 5 copy of PP Size pictures each of you.  To make those permits, it takes almost whole one day to make different office.
