We recently commenced on Manaslu Circuit trek with this agency, and we were thoroughly impressed by their professionalism and reliability.
Our journey to Nepal was between 12th to 28th May, 2023. It was our fourth visit to Nepal and prior to this trek, we had already experienced the Everest Base Camp (EBC), Annapurna Base Camp (ABC), and Kanchenjunga treks.
Our 15-day adventure on the Manaslu Circuit was truly a blessing, filled with exciting experiences. Despite the growing popularity of this trail, we found it to be refreshingly less crowded compared to the commercial routes leading to Everest and Annapurna base camps.
We successfully completed our Manaslu journey with the invaluable assistance of our guide and our porter.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the entire team for their generous support during our visit to Nepal. Rest assured, we are already looking forward to our next trip to this amazing country.

My trek on the Annapurna circuit is one of the few trips I have done that did not seem ages ago by the time I landed back at Heathrow. The complete service provided by this tour company's team while in Nepal was great. I had been concerned that I may feel isolated as single trekker, but just me and my guide/porter worked fantastically. It was truly tailored to meet my needs. I attach a photo of the movie in Manang. I am happy for anyone to contact me for reference on how good the trip was.
The Manaslu Circuit Trek is a challenging and rewarding trek around the world's eighth-highest mountain, Manaslu, at 8,163 meters. It offers stunning views of Himalayan peaks, diverse landscapes, a rich culture, and wildlife. The trek typically lasts 10–14 days and requires a special permit. The best time to do the trek is during the spring and autumn, with moderate temperatures, clear skies, and good visibility. The winter and monsoon seasons are less crowded but pose more challenges and risks. The trek follows the Buri Gandaki River Gorge, passing suspension bridges and lush forests, waterfalls, and villages. The average cost of the Manaslu Circuit Trek depends on factors like season, duration, itinerary, service level, and trekking agency chosen. Some additional factors that can affect the cost of the Manaslu Circuit Trek include accommodation choices, transportation expenses, and any additional activities or side trips included in the itinerary. It is recommended to research and compare different trekking agencies to find the best value for your budget and preferences.
We can highly recommend doing this Trek. It is a tough hiking trek (since you will be at very high altitudes for multiple days in a row) but the views make up for it - the landscape is stunning. Our Guide (Sanchaman Rai) explained a lot and did his best so that we felt always safe and secure. When we could not finish the first pass (Kongma La) - Sanchaman adjusted our plan so that we could do the other two passes, even though we lost a day. All in all it was a great trek with a great tour agency. (Hint: If you think about doing the Trek in less than 16Days - it may be possible, but make sure that you acclimatize correctly otherwise you will not enjoy the experience :-). In our opinion 16 Days is the perfekt amount of time).
I am partial to the Langtang Himal. Fond memories of hiking through villages and pausing for each breathtaking vista. The staff of this company are attentive to needs and tuned to the expectations and interests of each traveler.

I did the Mera Peak trekking over 15 days, organized by local tour specialists. Mr. Krishna Subedi (Kris) is the manager of the organization. He is a very good co-ordinator, puts you immediately on whatsapp when you arrive, and keeps following up your trekking and summit experience. When there were small problems, he immediately took action and contacted the right people. My guide Mr. Neyma Sherpa was also very helpfull and an excellent guide.
The trek itself was very enjoyable. The Tea houses were very good and they were very flexible when i prefered another teahouse than the one they already booked.
A few extra things to keep in mind:
- The month May used to be the best month for Mera Peak but we had a lot of rain... May-be April or October is becoming better now...
- Listen to your guide at all times and don't go up to fast. The trekking is also about acclimatizing. Sometimes you need that extra day at 4000m...
- Take a portable solar panel with you and a power bank. (min 12W, 20W is better). It will pay itself back. You pay a lot in the teahouses to get your phone charged (a lot of them also use solar power).
- I personally prefer not to rent climbing gear but to take my own. I always hike and climb with the same pair of C boots with semi-automatic crampons. My C boots are big enough to wear 2 pair of socks if necessary. My smartwhool socks were warm enough on the summit day (-10 to -15 °C)
- Take a porter. They are not expensive and your hiking comfort will increase a lot.
- Don't forget to use sunscreen, especially on the summit day when you leave at 2 am in the dark and you're not thinking about the sun at that time.
- Make sure you are in excellent physical shape. After the summit, you will need 3 more days to get to Lukla.
I had a fantastic trekking trip to the Island Peak, organized by the local operator. The hotels were good and the guide became a close friend of mine. Additionally they were able to change the date of the flight-out of Lukla without any problems. If I ever will do another trekkingtour in Nepal I definitly go back to ACH and I just can recommand to everbody else to do the same!!

Llegamos a Nepal con una plan de trekking poco viable y con la ayuda de esta agencia reorganizamos nuestra estancia, resultando todo un éxito. Desde el primer momento, entras en un clima familiar, de confianza y seguridad de estar contratando un buen servicio, gracias a la atención diaria y trato cercano de Gokul. Nos tramitaron los billetes de KTM a Lukla y ante algunos pequeños imprevistos, siempre contamos con su respuesta immediata. En medio de nuestro trekking por libre, contratamos la actividad de ascención al Lobuche Peak. Destacar la flexibilidad y adaptación a nuestras necesidades, y también la profesionalidad de Phuri, gran climbing guide y mejor persona! En resumen, estamos muy contentos con el trato de esta agencia y sin duda lo recomendamos al 100%. Namaste Gokul y equipo 🙏
Ganga was an amazing trek organiser! I travelled in May and the views were extraordinary! A really organised trek and easy to book, I would definitely recommend this experience and company.
