Infrastructure
The village is a trading post that is several hundred years old. In the course of time, well-maintained supply paths have emerged around them, connecting the Manang valley with the valleys of Kali Gandaki and Manaslu . With Besisahar Manang is connected by a dirt, some very adventurous scale street. As in the old days, a large part of the goods required is transported by mules , yaks or porters. 2.5 km east of the village there is a small Manang Airport and a medical center specializing in the examination of altitude sickness .
Due to the location of the place at just over 3500 m , it is advisable for hikers of the Annapurna Circuit to acclimatize to the altitude and to take a rest day in Manang on the way to Thorong La.
The inhabitants of Manang live mainly from tourism (supply and accommodation for the trekking groups). But traditional agriculture and cattle breeding (yaks) are also practiced.
