I had face this questions many time on trekking route from freelance travelers on other region like Everest and Annapurna. Because what I had found is many people they are looking for Manaslu Trek however they don’t like to be accompanied by guide, it’s a nature of people. Especially people from Russia, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Slovenia are looking for some adventure by themselves without being lead by local although they had lots of money and they can afford any kind of packages. But Manaslu belong to restricted area you must be accompanied by government authorized license holder trekking guide, one can’t go for Manaslu Trek Without Guide. But why is this restricted region and we needed to hire a guide, why? My answer was area is remote, there was no such infrastructure needed for tourism in past and from certain part of trek you can reach Tibet. Like Tibet is quite easily accessible from Samdo in Manaslu and Mu-Monastery in Tsum Valley. China Government is very strict with any activities for Free Tibet so Nepal Government want to control any illegal activities on Tibet Border which might be strong reason to declare region as restricted.
