Best Manaslu Tour May 2024 • Solo
Manaslu Tour was an amazing trip – an experience of a lifetime! Once we reached the mountains, the gradual climb was amazing, with different climates, different plants, beautiful flowers, and wonderful views. It was very interesting to observe and be a small part of the early Gurung life where the Lama people lived away from traffic.
My guide Dinesh and my driver Birsing made this journey possible and enjoyable for me. Even though I had only one friend, they made me feel at ease and gave me support and good advice when I needed it. I trust them and recommend them 100%. They have done this tour many times before and it is very popular and Dinesh speaks good English.
I had some scheduling issues before starting and the company resolved them professionally and helpfully.
I can’t imagine a better team of Himalaya Guide Nepal Pvt. Ltd.

10/10 Manaslu Circuit Trek with Salman April 2024
Friends We recently completed the Manaslu Circuit Trek organized by Himalaya Guide Nepal with guide Salman and had a great time! Salman is an experienced guide and enjoyed the trip. During our entire time, we felt that he arranged accommodation for us in beautiful tea houses, took us to additional routes, and scenic spots, and arranged a private jeep and minibus for our return. You must say, Dumbal, that we always appreciate the surprise foods and card games he teaches. I recommend this tour group and guide to everyone!
We’ll be back for more.

Manaslu Circuit Tour – April 2024 – Solo Trek
Hello!
I had a wonderful trip of 14 days (3 travel days and 11 walking days) after the Manaslu tour. Communication with (Himalaya Guide Nepal Pvt. Ltd.) Chandra was very smooth at first and the guidance from Dinesh and our two helpers, Prabin and Birsing, was excellent and professional. All we had to do was walk, eat, sleep, have fun, and repeat.We were always taken care of and never felt unsafe. While we saw signs of moderate length, Denmark followed it up in a calm, careful, and professional manner. We also had a nice sightseeing tour with 360-degree views of the lake and the old monastery. We left on time each day and arrived early in the afternoon, so we could get enough rest and have time to enjoy this wonderful experience.
Overall, we are very pleased with this community, thank you very much!

Manaslu Trek – 2024 – Beautiful country with a good guide Dinesh
My son and I completed the Manaslu tour with another trekker with Dinesh as a guide and Birsing & Prabin as porters – and in my opinion, it was the best holiday ever When I started researching tour operators, Chandra was very accommodating and facilitated the booking process via WhatsApp app to take care of everything.
We met Chandra & Dinesh in Kathmandu to review the travel arrangements and make sure we were well prepared and they also made sure we had all the clothing and equipment for the trip.
When we set out I was worried that I had had a very difficult journey, but within two days I realized that this was not the case; each day was wonderful and varied and Dinesh set a steady pace for our daily journey so we had plenty of time to relax, stop for lunch, sightseeing and the tea house for dinner.Dinesh was very attentive as we had just started trekking and informed us in detail each day about our routes, what we should wear, and what we should eat and drink to make the most of it. Dinesh wanted to know if we had good rooms/accommodations where we could stop for tea, check the rooms, and get food; he had a plan. We prefer to use company down jackets and sleeping bags; they are really good quality and very warm. We didn’t feel cold even though it was a cold night.
We had so much fun together as a team – We played cards as a team every night and on my birthday Dinesh, Birsing, and Prabin gave me a delicious cake – It was a Nepalese-style party where you put the cake in your face! Fun. We built rocks on the Larkye Pass, played local games, danced, and ate cake.
Each day of our trip was like a different journey with the changing landscape, plants, weather, and terrain; everything was great. We also visited remote monasteries and glacial lakes.
I highly recommend you to visit Manaslu for a remote and relaxing trip and recommend Dinesh as your guide; You will have a great time.

Manaslu Circuit Trek March 2024
I was in Nepal 8 years ago and Annapurna trekked with guide Bashu. I was in Nepal again this spring with my daughter to visit Manaslu, but my real wish is to do it again in Bashu.
Bashu guided us to his office and my daughter planned our details and wishes to Chandra, the director of the office.
Bashu was waiting for us at the airport, after we cleared all Kathmandu details, the three of us left the next day.
Birsing is our helper for the Manaslu trek and entered on the way.We spent two wonderful weeks at an altitude of 700 and 5100 meters in constant change and beauty. Despite the cold and high altitudes, thanks to jackets, sleeping bags, comfortable accommodations, and good food and fruit, served by Bashu and Birsing, enjoy our time with this unique concept.
Instead of Samagaun, where we wanted to rest on the second day, we spent one more day in Tiliche, because it was cold in Samagaun!
We visited a beautiful monastery and village, and the next day we went to Besisahar by jeep with two other travelers from the company. Before dinner we were all treated to roast beef and Easter bread for dessert, thank you very much!
After spending only a few days in Bandipur and Chitwan National Park, Chandra invited us to a farewell party in Kathmandu.
Since Baashu had already left on his next trip, his friend came with us. What a beautiful ending!
I can recommend the company, as well as the Manaslu tour, I am happy every time and we will be happy to return any time.
Debora HolderDeutch
Manaslu Trek March 2024
We have a lot of experience. Apart from their interesting personality, Bashu managed everything – he always felt at ease :). In the evening, Bashu explained to us the next day, and we got fresh fruit every night:)
With great respect for the mountain and rest, we planned another day, but since we didn’t need it. They are 100% flexible and we enjoyed another day at the end of the trip in the tropics. We are also satisfied with the choice of guest houses during the trip! I feel like we’re always in the best place in town with good food, a nice room (if available), and a hot shower.
During the walk and dinner well, we met two other guides from Himalaya Guide Nepal – also very nice guys, so I think there is a 100% chance that they are fantastic! 🙂
I 100% recommend this company.

We spent the last 14 days on the Manaslu in Nepal “Himalaya Guide Nepal” trip. Overall, the setup and communication were smooth and light from the start. Our guide Dinesh and his assistant Prabin are two good people who always help us. Due to the bad weather of the last few weeks, it was uncertain whether we would make it through Larke Pass or not, but Dinesh had no doubt and carried us with optimism and a positive attitude.Finally, we can always rely on Dinesh and Prabin, even when I had problems at the top, they did everything to support me. It was only with his help that I got there. All in all, I can recommend the Himalaya Guide Nepal P.Ltd, we had a perfect trip and will do it again every time! Thanks, Dinesh and Prabin!!

Manaslu Circuit Trek – 2024
Friends We spent the last 14 days in the Himalayas with Dinesh as our guide and Prabin as our assistant. All three of us completed the Manaslu circuit. It was a wonderful experience with an amazing view. Dinesh has mastered organization and planning. Therefore, we always have the best accommodation or tea house. If we had a problem, like his height, they both went out of their way to make us feel better and make us run.
Connections are also good between us. He told me about the city, the company, and others. Even if there was a problem, like the weather and whether we could cross the bridge, he spoke to us openly and made a decision. Most of the time, every decision he made means we can do it.
I can recommend Himalaya Guide Nepal if you are looking for a guide in Nepal!

Manaslu Trek – March 2024
Friends In early March, we went on a Manaslu trek with our guide Dinesh, and his assistant Prabin. We had a great time and I can recommend “Himalaya Guide Nepal”. Booking and organizing Chandra our trip and all questions were answered quickly. Everything works well on site (confirmation, reservation of porters, sleeping bag, and jacket rental).Along the way, Dinesh explained many things about nature and culture and always looked into our wants and needs. Even when many trekkers ahead of us turned back due to heavy snow and bad weather, Dinesh continued to guide and support us through the difficult section to successfully cross Larke La Pass 5160M.
We had a great time on the Manaslu circuit and I recommend Himalaya Guide Nepal.

In March 2024, we used HGN for a 14-day Manaslu tour. Our unique experience began a few months ago when the owner of the company, Chandra, was very responsive in all communications, answering our questions quickly and recommending the right places.
Our trek guide Salman picked us up from the airport and arranged to meet us at the HGN office the next day. We left the conference prepared and happy.
During the walk, Salman and our helper Lakpa were also very nice. He knows Manaslu music very well, is friendly, good, and organized, and has a good sense of humor. We enjoyed our time with them. Salman was constantly monitoring our progress, checking on us, and making sure we were all safe and sound. Overall, our trip was a wonderful experience and we highly recommend Himalaya Guide Nepal Pvt. Ltd.

The Manaslu circuit is an astounding tour. Meanwhile, there is an alternative to going to Machhakhola by using a jeep. So possibly I would strive to begin the tour there and design a 2nd „rest day“high up in the mountains to go to even extra highlights like the monastery (we loved the scenery!) or Manaslu basecamp or any small height close by a village 🙂
Bring a top book, poker cards, and ample cash for heat tea in the lengthy & and bloodless evenings at the lodges. Sleeping luggage and down jackets supplied by way of the employer are fantastic and warm.

We chose HGN after finding them online and learning about their extensive knowledge of the Manaslu area—which is home to the owner, Chandra, and his team but is less traveled than many routes—as well as Chandra’s exceptional responsiveness and readiness to accommodate the unique needs of our 11-person party.
He follows through when he promises to accomplish something and that they will deliver xyz! We had two guides, Dinesh and Kumar, who were both excellent; perhaps three would have been better for this size group, though I really wouldn’t suggest this size group; six or eight people would have been preferable. I hurt my Achilles early in the hike and moved more slowly than the majority of our group.

Manaslu circuit with a visit to Syarang Gumpa October 2023
We had an amazing time hiking around Mount Manaslu. While searching for a local company, we came across Himalaya Guide Nepal, which provides cheap all-inclusive rates along with options for extra excursions and deals. We felt confident after a live WhatsApp conversation, and
Chandra Gurung arranged especially for us a side excursion that included a visit and meditation at the Syarang Gompa, one of the monasteries that make up the Five Hidden Valleys. If we asked, Chandra’s brother Dinesh could serve as our guide. He is an extremely competent teacher, guide, and leader who is also very responsible, careful, and kind. He speaks and understands English fluently. He kept an eye out for the greatest places to stay, the most picturesque rooms, and clean restrooms.
I highly recommend this company and trekking guide for your holiday in Nepal.

Great experience, thank you so much October 2023
Thanks to Mr. Chandra and his team, we were able to do an amazing Manaslu trekking tour in October 2023. Our guide was Dinesh, Chandra’s younger brother.
Everything was perfectly organized. It started from the beginning, with the initial preparations six months ago. We had several email exchanges and a live WhatsApp meeting to discuss the program. Mr. Chandra listened very well to our expectations and tailored the trip exactly to our needs and possibilities. I was also very impressed by the support they made possible for local schools.
From the time we arrived at Kathmandu airport until the end of our adventure, we were guided by Mr. Dinesh. He did this in a great way. Very responsible, very kind, very skilled (taught me a lot about the mountains, local culture, nature, etc.), attentive and patient, encouraging when needed (Traveling…) . At times it was challenging) …he mastered every day of the trip perfectly. We felt so supported and completely safe. I am very grateful to Dinesh and his two helpers Govinda and Rajan.
We ended our wonderful 3-week trip in Nepal with a day of sightseeing in Kathmandu. Unfortunately, one day is too short for him to visit this charming city, so time has passed. This day was also perfectly planned and was very relaxing and interesting.
We have traveled to many countries several times and Himalaya Guide Nepal is one of the best travel companies we have ever experienced. I am so grateful for the wonderful experience and friendship.

Manaslu Circuit Trekking with Serang Gumba Oct 2023
We planned this trip in April 2023. From the morning we could ask anything, suggest, and acclimate everything. First, we had a video call on WhatsApp with Chandra Gurung which gave us a good feeling of trust and possibilities. We read good effects about companion Denish Gurung and he went above our prospects devoted, flexible, interested, and always looking for the nicest and most stylish possibilities for our group. We realize what a huge responsibility he took for us. We had nice addresses and intriguing exchanges. (Dinesh indeed has a master’s degree in English literature). Prices are fair, no conversations along the way, and you know what’s included and what isn’t included. I do not suppose there’s a better choice if you want to go on a Manaslu Circuit tour. The side trip to Serang Gumba was worth the 3 days redundant!
Thank you so much, Dinesh and Chandra, Rason and Govinda for everything!!

Manaslu Circuit Journey 2023
My spouse and I have had an amazing Manaslu trip with Chandra who organizes our trek and with our guide Basu and our helper Birsing. The group went over and past to make us feel secure and comfortable on our, to begin with a trip to Nepal. Basu and Birsing were an amazing group and were cheerful to climb beside us at our pace. Having Basu as a direct made communicating with local people and understanding nearby traditions a breeze! We would not falter to book assist trips with this group.10/10 marks.
Matthew HadfieldSwitzerland
I traveled with my girlfriend with Himalaya Guide Nepal for the Manaslu circuit, and it was an amazing trip. All we had to worry about was picking up our bags and walking because our guide Bashu, the Nepali superman, looked out for us the entire time. We were able to easily switch our rest day throughout the hike from Samagon to Samdo because of Bashu’s flexibility; we greatly appreciated Samdo.
I also want to say a big thank you to Chandra (Trip organizer of Himalaya Guide Nepal). The day before we set out on the walk, I was able to find my backpack after the airline misplaced my luggage. He was actively calling his contacts at the airport.
After the amazing trip, we will most definitely return and would not think twice about using Himalaya Guide Nepal Trekking Company.

Manaslu Circuit Trek- April 2023
We traveled together on the Manaslu Circuit trip with Himalaya Guide Nepal. Chandra was a pleasure to work with as we prepared for the trip. Chandra was extremely responsive and treated all of our wacky suggestions and trip modifications seriously. Despite it being a Saturday, he made sure our hiking permits were ready early because we had the necessary visas. Everything on the trip was done exactly as we had planned and to our complete pleasure.
Dinesh Gurung, Chandra’s sibling, served as our trekking guide. Dinesh was a very knowledgeable and helpful guide. Throughout the entire trip, we felt cared for and absolutely loved it. He was a fantastic conversationalist, and he taught us a lot about the nation.
Both Himalaya Guide Nepal and Dinesh have my highest endorsement, and I would quickly make another reservation with them in the future.
Cindy Kay AmatoUSA
Excellent guiding and portering skills!
You all performed a fantastic job. Tammy was the only issue we encountered, and you moved immediately to isolate her from the group. I’m grateful. This made the entire vacation wonderful for the rest of us by doing this. I appreciate your keeping it exciting and secure 👍🏻.

Manaslu Circuit Trek
Manaslu Circuit Trek, October 16 to 02. November 2017 Chandra (Himalaya Guide Nepal Pvt.Ltd.) has organized us Manaslu Circuit and the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek including Guide and porter. Because everything worked smoothly. Chandra already arrived at the airport to pick me up in Kathmandu. In the evening there was a Nepalese “Welcome Dinner” with Chandra in the traditional dances that were presented. So, we found this very great! In our hotel, a preliminary took place, in which we again Chandra told all the necessary information for our trek. And our guide presented to us. All transfers by taxi, bus, and jeep were organized by Chandra and functioned smoothly.
During the Manaslu Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek, our guide and our porter took care of everything. They were very friendly and competent. The accommodations are always booked by our guide in advance. So, we could always equal the day’s destination in our “room”. There were in addition to three meals snacks, such as cookies or candy bars every night fresh fruit. We really enjoyed the trek and it was a fantastic experience. For us, the Manaslu Trek was the right choice. Because we were able to experience one of the least touristy developed areas with Tibetan influence. We highly recommend Chandra and his team; they do a very good job!

Manaslu Circuit Trek 2016
Manaslu Circuit Trek 2016, We had a great Manaslu circuit trek thanks to Chandra! We had a limited amount of time in Nepal and had to organize over the internet. So, Chandra suggested an itinerary and was very flexible and attentive to everything that we wanted. But he expertly put everything together for us. So, we were able to leave right after our first night in Kathmandu.
Not a worry in the world, just a great trek where everything went right. And we were free to take in the amazing scenery of Many Mountains, Green Valley. So, I Definitely, recommend Chandra’s companies. He made our trip!

And the culture and people of the Himalayan region of a trek. The proposed itinerary was easy to follow. And could change when circumstances are needed in the planning phase. He was open to answering all of our questions and was eager to our false expectations.
Chandra is the best as well as an experienced trekking organizer. And Guide in the Himalayas Nepal. So, if you are looking for Manaslu Circuit Trek he is the best and highly recommended.

Je recommande fortement Himalaya Guide Nepal
Je recommande fortement Himalaya Guide Nepal, J’ai eu une très bonne expérience de trek autour du Manaslu avec notre guide Dinesh Gurung et porteur Dipak Gurung. Ils ont fait tout leur possible pour nous faire sentir comfortable et pour répondre à tous nos besoins. Ils avaient une très bonne connaissance des hébergements, récents changements du sentier, et des dangers potentiels.
L’expertise de notre guide nous a permis d’avoir un séjour plaisant en toute sécurité. Ce trek nous a non seulement permis de découvrir des paysages magnifiques mais aussi d’apprendre sur la culture nepalaise grâce à notre guide.
Chandra à aussi fait un super travail en organisant le séjour depuis kathmandu.

Great Experience with Himalaya Guide Nepal
We had a great experience with Himalaya Guide Nepal Pvt. Ltd. Because the company was great to communicate with. They were quick to answer all of our questions.
Our guide and porter were super friendly and helpful. We feel they went the extra mile to make us feel welcome, safe, and comfortable. The guide was really knowledgeable about the Manaslu circuit and told us a lot about the mountains as well as Nepalese culture and tradition. And the guide’s English was good and talking to him was a pleasure. Our porter did a great job carrying our packs. But he had reasonably good English too, making an effort to speak to us in English. We were impressed as most other porters didn’t speak any English.
The trek had some spectacular views. Because they really well-organized this trip. Each day felt like the perfect amount of activity to keep us amazing. But not too tired while still physically challenging enough.
We highly recommend Himalaya Guide Nepal and wouldn’t hesitate to use their services next time in Nepal.

Manaslu – May 2019
Manaslu – In May 2019, My family and I did the Manaslu trek. It was an amazing trip, filled with world-class scenery and diverse Nepalese culture. The trip itself was planned perfectly with a mix of long and short days, ensuring you always felt rested and ready for the next day of hiking. Our guide Dinesh paced us perfectly, making sure that we acclimatized and adjusted physically to the increasing altitude. The food and accommodations were better than expected for a two-week hiking trip in the mountains.
Manaslu – May 2019, Each place was clean and tidy and provided a large menu of food options. One thing to note, if you’re going in May be prepared to not have Wifi along the way. This is the “down” season and most places do not have internet. However, this was a positive as it ensures you were always present and enjoying the world-class scenery around you. Our experience on the Manaslu trek was amazing and we were so lucky to have done it with the Himalaya Guiding company. Our guide Dinesh and porters Eck and Beersing were a perfect combination of professional and personable. We’d love to come back to Nepal to enjoy one of the other treks, and if so would absolutely do it through Himalaya Guides again. Would 100% recommend the Manaslu trek for anyone AND the Himalaya Guiding company 😊

Manaslu Circuit Trek 2014
Manaslu Circuit Trek 2014, Chandra helped me a lot during the hike in Manaslu Circuit Trek 2014. Chandra was funny most of the time our hike was much easier with Chandra’s help at the tea houses. The communication with the locals and the navigation during the trial.
One time we were a bit worried actually the night before the Larkye Pass 5163m but our guide Chandra prepared us well for that hard part. So, we felt safe on the whole trail.
Thanks, Chandra.
