We embarked on an unforgettable journey along the Manaslu Circuit, exploring additional highlights like Kathmandu Heritage Tours. This tour operator graciously accommodated our request for extra days for an acclimatization and also to include some side trips, demonstrating impeccable professionalism and hospitality throughout our expedition. Our guide, Kumar, stood out with his exemplary service, providing us with insightful guidance, ensuring our health and well-being, and attentively caring for us during moments of fatigue or discomfort. The porters, including Prakash/Bhote ( as they called) and Anil. Kumar, went above and beyond their duties. Not only did they shoulder the weight of our bulky bags throughout the trek, but they also offered invaluable assistance on challenging terrains, ensuring our safety and comfort. Their warm demeanor and genuine Nepali hospitality enriched our journey, making it truly memorable. Thanks to the exceptional team, we had an enriching and delightful experience on the Manaslu Circuit trek, creating lasting memories that we will cherish for years to come. Thank you. Namaste !
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 completed the EBC trek with this local tour operator in October. From the beginning the company were excellent. They responded to all questions very quickly and clearly. They provided lots of extra information for me for my stay in Kathmandu. The guide on my trek, Raj, was excellent. He was great fun and had our safety as his first priority all the time. He kept us positive throughout and gave us clear information before each day of what would happen. The lodges we stayed in were exactly what we needed and the food throughout the trek was great. Our porters were also great fun and so kind. Raj was excellent at keeping everyone together and making sure that everybody was ok during the trek. We had a beautiful celebratory dinner once we had completed the trek, where we saw some traditional dancing and received plaques to remember our trek. The trek exceeded my expectations and I think a lot of that is down to Himalayan Recreation. I would highly recommend them for your trek!
Never take guides but this time Nepali government forced me to. Me and my colleague from another realm was given experienced commander Kumar with many extraordinary skills including searching, tracking, pathfinding. When you barely see some movement in the forest he already knows this is gray langur female 10 years old, 12 kg, well fed with one infant posing no threat to us. On the trip we definitely saw and experienced more than we expected. Since then we decided to always take a guide in Nepal.
The AP mini circuit has to be considered as a viable alternative to the full circuit(which I have not done) - if you have a fortnight and are confident of your trekking abilities, you will get all the thrill of the trek up the Valley and over the 5416m pass , a descent through the incredible Mustang valley on the other side followed by a memorable flight past the AP range back to Pokhara .
The Annapurna Base Camp Trek will take you into the heart of the Annapurna range. The entire area is protected within the 7,629 sq km Annapurna Conservation Area, the first and largest conservation area in Nepal.
Annapurna Base camp combines some of the most spectacular mountain scenery with a fascinating insight into the modern hill life of Nepal. This unique trek along local trails offers great varieties of flora and fauna. You will appreciate the blooming rhododendron on your way, villages and terraced farmland; you will experience unparalleled mountain scenery, and be surrounded by enormous glaciers in one of the world’s most fascinating trekking regions. Lastly, you will gain a unique insight into Nepalese life and its culture as we overnight in beautiful hillside villages.
The trek to Annapurna Base Camp begins after a short drive from Pokhara to Nayapul. We will walk through Ghandruk, Sinuwa, Deurali and finally reach the base camp of Annapurna, and thereafter and return through the valley to Pokhara.
Annapurna base camp is located in the lap of Annapurna South which has a perfect Majestic view of the Annapurna region and Mt. Fishtail - a mountain renowned for its beauty. The trail revert down to the valley at Jhinu hot spring where you have the opportunity for a hot and well-earned bath. From Nayapul we will take a short drive to Pokhara which will be the last ending station of this trek, before we go back to Kathmandu, where it all began.
Although Annapurna Base Camp leads you into the heart of the mighty Himalaya, the trekking itself presents no major difficulties and can be undertaken by enthusiastic people who are used to walking.
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!
The trip was perfect! I really recommend it for panish peaple cause you can speak spanish. Kumar was our guide and he is a very nice person! We are very grateful to have him on our trip, he helped us with all we needed!!🙏🏽

Island peak was renamed "Imje Tse" in the early '80s, though its original name, Island Peak, is still more popular. The mountain was named "Island Peak" in 1952 AD due to its striking location in the middle of the Chhukung valley, like an island on a sea of ice. Island Peak has an impressive highly glaciated west face that rises from the Lhotse Glacier which is a bit tough to do, however the magnificent views from the summit are certainly a fitting reward for our efforts.
Island Peak climbing with Everest Base Camp Trek is a fantastic experience in the Himalayas of Nepal. It is designed for energetic and physically fit trekkers with little or no experience in mountain expedition. Island Peak (6,189m/20,305ft) is one of the main climbing peaks in the Everest Region of Nepal with an impressive and highly glaciated West Face that rises from the Lhotse Glacier. Being one of the 'trekking peaks' with very little technical aspects, Island Peak is not a difficult undertaking for a beginner climber wishing to enter the incredible world of mountain climbing. Hundreds of climbers flock to Nepal every year to get a permit for Island Peak climbing. Our adventure also takes us into the heartland of the Khumbu Valley and Sherpa culture. Before scaling the peak, we also visit, possibly the most popular trekking destination in the world - Everest Base Camp (5,357m/17,575ft) and Kala Patthar - for the up-close views of Mt. Everest and other high mountains.
The Island peak climbing itinerary has proper and gradual acclimatization at suitable intervals. The 19-day journey begins from and comes to a conclusion at one of the most famous airstrips in the world, the Lukla Airport in the Everest Region.
Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November) are the best months for climbing Island Peak. Although Island Peak can be climbed during winter, the cold temperature might not be suitable for everyone.
We look forward to taking you on a mountaineering experience of a lifetime. Please see the itinerary for a day-by-day overview.
