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!

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.
