It is culturally fascinating with strong links to Tibet in the upper Buri Gandaki (called Nupri ‘the western mountains’) and the Tsum Valley, and even includes the Larkya La (5106 m) as a challenge. The views of Mt Manaslu, the eighth highest mountain in the world, are marvelous and spellbinding.

There are even phone and mobile access in some parts of the trekking trail. Nearly every village now has a proper lodge. You can certainly find porridge, tsampa, noodles, omelette and roti at most places. While simple, they are clean for the most part. There are also small shops in most villages along the way with limited stocks of soap, toilet paper, batteries, bottled water, biscuits, noodles, beer, whisky etc.
Among the trips to Nepal, this is the absolute highlight, with strong, friendly, hospitable people, a living Buddhist culture and untouched wildlife because of Buddhist prohibitions on hunting.The people are poor, since they have been bypassed by development for centuries, but this means their unique culture has remained intact.
A special Restricted Area Permit is required for Manaslu. In addition, you will need to pay both the Manaslu Conservation Area Park (MCAP) fee and the Annapurna Conservation Area Park (ACAP) fee for the section from Dharapani to Besi Sahar after you join the round-Annapurna trail. All of these permits are covered in your tour price so you don't need any extra money for these permits.

Janet T. | Traveled in November
Fast paced, but covered a lot of places. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and obviously proud of his country. India was a bit overwhelming, but the people we met were very friendly

A superb trip which gave an excellent insight into the culture, peoples and landscapes of Nepal. The trip was excellently guided by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable leader. The experiences were varied and included a number of purpiseful walks taking us through villages and scenes with exceptional views.
Giorgio | Traveled in November
This was a great trip taking us from kalkata and the southern mangroves to the hills crossing from Darjeeling to the lovely old kingdom of Sikkin to Buthan and finally in Kathmandu. The contrast between them is striking with mountain tops communities temples ancient fortress and beautiful people. So much history. With countries so close you would expect people and costumes to be similar but this could not be further from the truth. Our tour leader Keran had everything organised to a tee and was great company as well a continuous source of knowledge. Just go, before it all changes forever😂😂
Renee | Traveled in November
We chose this trip as we had visited Kathmandu in 2011 but had always wanted to get out into the countryside. This trip was a diverse mixture of culture and scenery. We enjoyed revisiting the temples and squares in Kathmandu, but also appreciating the mountains and scenery, especially a Pokhara. The clear views of the mountain ranges were amazing and breathtaking. We enjoyed the Chitwan park and saw lots of birds and rhinos, but unfortunately no tigers, but we didn't really expect to. Our tour guide and the local guides were all great with their knowledge and experience. It was a discovery, thank you

One of the best holidays I have been on with Explore. The guide was excellent - it was a big group and he managed everyone incredibly well. He was very knowledgeable, attentive and very proud of his country. If anyone had a suggestion or something they wanted included, he would make it happen. It would be great if Explore could offer a wider range of activity holidays to Nepal. Perhaps a wildlife/cultural tour? I would highly recommend this tour.
Cerys | Traveled in November
This was a full on tour through Eastern Bhutan. There was stunning scenery, short hikes and beautiful temples. We visited the Black neck crane festival which was delightful and we were able to see returning cranes in the nearby valley. The hotels were all decent with plentiful food to suit all tastes.
