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 had an excellent Mt. Manaslu trek in December 2022 with this travel operator, and whole-heartedly recommend them. I was impressed with their professionalism, personality, communication with Ram Barakoti. I really valued the stress-free aspect of the whole trip. For example, the company team will meet you at the airport, transport you to your hotel, organize all aspects of the trek including trekking permits, arrange all accommodations, and provide porter service. We waited until we were in Kathmandu and could meet trekking companies offering Mt. Manaslu treks. But this company stood out among the rest. I spoke with Ram, also a mountain guide, who was very professional, knowledgable, competent, and well organized. The fee for the trip was reasonable. The trek was spectacular, we had amazing views of many mountains and glaciers. There were many unforgettable moments and stunning photos! The flora and fauna slowly change from tropical to alpine over the days of hiking, which is interesting. It's not until day 4 of the trek that you start to see the big mountains. Most days are 5-6 hours of walking. For the Best Views don’t forget to hike to Pungin Gompa, you can see one of the best views from there. If you are planning to go buy bus to Soti Khola, better to go by private jeep. It will be more comfortable! I have no hesitation in recommending this company and our guide Pasang Sherpa Guide. We will trek with them again next year.
Raju Mainali was a great guide and everything ran smoothly. Great experience and simpler than organising yourself if you’re time limited. We carried our own bags - it was challenging at points but still really fun overall.
