Loved this trek. You visit some very remote places where traditional Nepali lifestyles are maintained. The combo of jungle and high altitude Himalayan mountain scenery gives you a comprehensive view of the Nepali landscape.
My guide Kuldhur Bahadur Gharti Magar and porter Chhoten Sherpa did an amazing job and I would highly recommend their services. They provided great options to supplement the itinerary based on my energy levels every day.
We've just come back from Manaslu and Tsum Valley trek organised by Nest Adventure. Sandip, manager of the company, was very responsive from first contact by email and he answered all our questions before our trip and prepared the trek for us.
We had very experienced local guide KP and two amazing and funny porters Krishna and Amrit, who worked very hard to make our trek enjoyable. Thanks again guys, dhanyabatt.

Thanks to the good advice from the team, we went for the Manaslu trek, very well organized. This trek is amazing and not so crowded compare to others.
The team and especially our guide, Mun were very attentive to our needs and super nice. They made our stay in Nepal super cool.
I also recommend the hotel related: Bodhi Boutique hotel. very good quality.
This is a fabulous trek for those looking for a less traveled path. We really enjoyed passing through all the villages and meeting the locals (and donkeys, yaks goats etc) along the way. Very friendly people, we took a large bag of chocolates to hand out to kids which we would recommend. Beautiful scenery, fascinating villages and challenging hiking at times made for an excellent experience that will stay with us. We went in early March, weather was great but some groups were turned back at the pass due to snow. Helps to have some extra days in case weather is bad. Not for beginners or those not in reasonable shape. Enjoyed the quietness of the route (early season). Tsum Valley a definite highlight, would absolutely recommend adding this to Manaslu Circuit or on its own.
I wanna tell you about our super fun time on the Manaslu circuit. The views were amazing, and the paths were quiet. We saw different things, like pretty rhododendron forests and big snowy peaks. Our guide, knew a lot and helped us understand the people and nature there. He made sure everyone in our group had a good time, no matter how much hiking they did before. They told us about the trip on the first night, and they took us for a yummy dinner with dancing in Kathmandu. They took really good care of us, and if you want to have a cool adventure, I totally say go with them to explore Manaslu. It's like a hidden treasure waiting for you!
I just finished a customized extended 19 day trek around Manaslu. My local guide Tsiring used his extraordinary familiarity with the area to include two overnight home-stays and five days of hiking on unique trails away from the standard route around the mountain.

Unveil the untouched beauty of Nepal's Manaslu region, a true hidden treasure awaiting intrepid adventurers. This off-the-beaten-path destination remains secluded, offering a wilderness experience like no other. At its heart stands the towering Mt. Manaslu, the world's eighth-highest peak, beckoning you to explore its majesty.
To venture into this pristine wilderness, trekkers require a special permit due to its location within the Manaslu Conservation Area. The Lower Manaslu trek promises an immersive journey into the heart of Mt. Manaslu, treating you to breathtaking views of the Himalayan ranges.
As you traverse the trail, you'll encounter high-altitude glacier lakes and enchanting forests adorned with juniper and rhododendron blooms. Along the way, the path winds through picturesque mountain villages like Barpak, Laprak, Gyampesal, and Dharche Danda, where you'll have the chance to connect with the warm-hearted locals.
Dharche Danda, nestled at an altitude of 3,220 meters, offers a spectacular vantage point, unveiling the grandeur of Annapurna I & II, Macchapuchhre, Himalchuli, and Ganesh Himal.
The region is home to Gurung communities deeply rooted in Buddhism, providing a rich cultural tapestry. Explore ancient Buddhist monasteries like Shringi Gompa in Bihi and Mu, as well as Rachen Gompas in Chhekampar.

Explore the beautiful Manaslu Region of Nepal on this 18-day trekking trip! The remoteness and secluded nature of the area make this trek a great choice for those looking to find some solitude or be immersed in nature and offer something different from the busier Annapurna Region.
The trip begins with sightseeing of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu and takes adventurers to trek in the beautiful Manaslu region. While on the trip, we get to marvel at the magnificent views of Mount Manaslu (8163m), the eighth tallest mountain in the world, coupled with a chance to witness the rich local heritage and biological diversity of the region. The highest point in this trek is the ‘Larkya La Pass’ which is widely believed to be one of the most dramatic passes crossing the Himalayas.
Like all our carefully-planned itineraries, this trek also ensures adequate time for proper acclimatization. Much of the trek involves walking on mountain trails and is within the capabilities of people with good cardiovascular fitness. Still, it is important to note that trekking at altitudes above 3000m/10,000ft is more demanding on the body than walking at low elevations.
Explore the majestic Manaslu, the eighth highest peak on Earth, standing tall at 8163 meters. This Himalayan giant, often referred to as the "mountain of the spirit," graces the Gorkha region with its awe-inspiring presence. The Ganesh Himal, resembling an elephant's head, derives its name from the revered Hindu deity, Lord Ganesh. Nestled in the heart of north-central Nepal, this massive Himalayan range is a true natural wonder. Boasting three peaks exceeding 7,000 meters and a remarkable fourteen surpassing 6,000 meters, it's a paradise for trekkers!
Embark on the Manaslu Trek, also known as the Manaslu Circuit, a journey that unveils the breathtaking splendor of Mount Manaslu (8163 m) and the Ganesh Himal Range, among other captivating peaks. Along this remarkable trail, you'll encounter a captivating blend of authentic Hindu and Tibetan-style Buddhist villages. Following the Budhi Gandaki River to its source just below the formidable Larkya Pass, this trek offers a diverse range of landscapes, from lush forests to picturesque green valleys, even sharing a part of the famed Annapurna Circuit Trek.
