Review of Manaslu Circuit Trek

Completing the Manaslu Circuit Trek was more than just a journey—it felt like finding a new family along the way. The mountains were beautiful, but the people I shared this experience with made it truly special. Through the hard climbs and quiet moments, we supported each other like family.
I am so grateful to our guide, Siva, not just for leading the way, but for caring for us like one of his own. And to our porter, Srijan, his strength and kindness meant so much—he was not just helping us, he was part of our journey and our family.
This trek gave me more than memories. It gave me connections, laughter, and a feeling of belonging that I will never forget.

We organized a guided Manaslu circuit trek while staying at Hotel Green Horizon. With the help of Suman, who was originally from the Manaslu region, we managed to arrange the trek in a way that suited us perfectly (being able to continue to Annapurna circuit on our own). With Suman and his experience and knowledge about the treks in Nepal, it felt we were able to arrange exactly the kind of trek WE wanted. As for the guide, we could not have asked for a better one in Sonam, who was professional, informative and considered our opinions. Sonam was such a lovely person!

Unfortunately, we were not able to finish our trek due to dengue fever. However, Sonam was very helpful and made us feel safe while we were sick in the mountains. In the end, Suman and our guide Sonam arranged us an evacuation back to Kathmandu. You could feel how sorry they were for us for not being able to continue the trek but they cheered us and helped us out to arrange other stuff in Nepal.

Communication with both Suman and Sonam was fluent in English.

Suman has lots of experience and can organise trips anywhere in Nepal for beginners right through to high altitude treks. Chirring (the guide on my trek in Manaslu) was fantastic..very supportive and patient with me - it was a pleasure trekking with him. I definitely recommend using this company. I also recommend the hotel next door (Hotel Green Horizon), which is good value and has friendly staff.

I booked two treks with Nepal mountain Trekkers, the Manaslu circuit and the Upper Mustang. It fitted perfectly in my traveling schedule. Suman arranged everything perfectly.

Let’s start with the Manaslu circuit, I had a great guide called Mod. He was very kind and it was a true pleasure to trek with him through the mountains. However due the heavy rainfalls we had to turn around. Safety first. Mod was very helpful and professional in rearranging the trip back down. Mother Nature is the boss and we only can anticipate!

The upper Mustang. Wow, what a track. I was with a fellow traveler and that was a great fit. The guide Sabin was very professional and kind. It was a true pleasure to spend this time in one of the most beautiful areas of Nepal with him and the my fellow traveler. Everything was perfectly arranged.

Thank you! ????

We just finished a two month stay in Nepal. From the airport our taxi driver recommended we go through Nepal Mountain Trekkers to book all our trekking-related needs, and drove us immediately to Ramesh’s shop outside his Hotel Green Horizon. Through Ramesh, we purchased our flights to Lukla for our Three Passes Trek, a jeep ride to the Manaslu Circuit trailhead, and our required guide for Manaslu. The entire experience was extremely smooth. Ramesh was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable and helped ensure our experience in Nepal was a great one. Our Manaslu trek guide, Krishna, was also great. Ramesh’s Hotel Green Horizon in Kathmandu is beautiful, quiet, and clean.

We did a 2 weeks Manaslu trek with Min and Rojan, and it was a truly fantastic experience. Min was professional, knowledgeable and very helpful. Min shared a lot about Nepal history and went out of his way to make us feel comfortable, well acclimatised, and not to mention, very well fed! If you are looking for a best in class trekking guide in Nepal, this is the right company to do it with.

We had an enjoyable 14-day trek with Min as our guide and Rojan as our porter. 

Special mention to Min who went out of his way - he was helpful and responsive during the planning of the trek and when we started the trek, he took great care of us both in terms of safety and comfort (he knows the teahouses with great food!). Through him, I learnt alot about the mountains and the history of Nepal - some of the many topics that Min is knowledgeable on, which makes me appreciate the trek even more. As both my friend and I were doing a high-altitude trek for the first time , I also appreciate Min setting a good pace and providing great advice on how to deal with the high altitude. 

All-in-all, I really enjoyed the trek and will definitely recommend Nepal Mountain Trekkers with Min as a guide for a Nepal trekking trip.

Wir waren mit unserem Guide Krishna im April 2019 auf dem Manaslu Trek unterwegs. Auf Vorschlag des Agenturchefs Ramesh konnten wir die ersten Tage auf einer Alternativroute abseits der Touristenströme unvergessliche Einblicke in das Dorfleben gewinnen und im Gegensatz zur Hauptroute im Tal tolle Ausblicke auf Manaslu, Himalchuli und Ganesh Himal genießen. Während des Treks hat uns Krishna mit viel Humor und Kompetenz begleitet und ist zum Freund geworden. Auch der Passübergang klappte dank Krishnas Gespür für Wetter und Timing bestens. Es waren für uns unvergessliche drei Wochen in Nepal. Bei unserem zweiten Besuch in Nepal hatten wir Dank Ramesh und Krishna den Eindruck, das Land erstmals wirklich kennengelernt zu haben. Wir werden unseren nächsten Trek sicher wieder von nepalmountaintrekkers organisieren lassen und können die Agentur nur wärmstens empfehlen!

An absolutely terrific trekking experience. We did a 12 day trek in the Manaslu conservation area in Oct 2018 organised by the always-smiling Ramesh at Nepal Mountain Trekkers, and led by our trusty guide Min (Sanjeep). Right from the start, Min took care of everything and gave us a tremendous and care-free two weeks in the mountains. It was my second trek with Min (having also done the Annpurna circuit in 2011) and like last time, his local knowledge, warm temperament and great organisational skills meant we had a hugely successful trip. He secured us accommodation in all villages, guided us through the acclimatization process and ensured we passed safely over the 5,100 Larka La High Pass. Our porter Sukman was also a delightful young man, and was well treated. Would not hesitate to recommend this agency.
