Wonderful fulfilling experience Clear blue skies and fantastic vistas every day in late March 2016. I was 58 at the time and found the trek to be very doable. There were trekkers much older than me that accomplished it as well. In the teahouse dining rooms each evening, we enjoyed the company of travelers from the most diverse nationalities I have ever encountered in such a short time frame. There seemed to be an almost equal number of females as males. The menus are surprisingly full given that almost all of the food must be carried in. Every day brings rewarding scenery and passage through isolated villages. After Dingboche, the villages are there only to service the trekkers and the altitudes are probably too high to support farming. All in all a wonderful fulfilling experience.
Excellent service with amazing hiking experience! A must do! 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.
From the moment we booked our trek with this local travel specialist, we knew we were in good hands. The team's responsiveness and attention to detail were evident right from the start, as they promptly addressed all our queries and provided us with additional information to ensure we were well-prepared. As a group of 8 people, we were pleasantly surprised by how well the agency managed us throughout the trek. They took care of all the logistics, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and efficiently. Their expertise and experience in the field were apparent, and it gave us the peace of mind to fully enjoy our journey. We greatly appreciated the team's professionalism and dedication to ensuring our comfort and safety. The entire experience was amazing.
