We went as a beginner-trekker couple to Manaslu in 13 days with our guide Prakash, and it was a great experience with HimalayaHub!
Positive points:
Our guide Prakash was very experienced/skillful, he knew everything (shortcuts, the people, where to stay, what to eat) and we felt safe with him even though we were beginners. Thanks Prakash!
The company provided us the equipment we were missing. We went with our guide to pick up the necessary jackets/sleeping bags.
The price was fair and there was no surprise in the package.
Points which could be improved:
We shipped 1 luggage from Kathmandu to Pokhara. We arrived to Pokhara on Sunday evening and received our luggage on Wednesday evening. It's a great option not to hire a sherpa but timing could be improved.
Additional advices:
Manaslu trekking is not easy despite what (all) companies can tell, get ready for it and for the cold conditions. It's an (achievable) yet amazing challenge.
Withdraw more money than expected, no ATM.
Plan an insurance in case.
Take a refilled bottle/thermos with purifying pills for water in high altitude.
Thank you
We really enjoyed the Manaslu Circuit Trek and can highly recommend the agency. We were very happy with our very friendly guide Prakash and our porter Rajesh. Prakash has been working as a guide for a long time and is very experienced. He chose the nicest places, treks and teahouses so that we had a quiet and peaceful time. When I struggled with altitude sickness, Prakash supported me and I always felt safe.

Great experience on the Manaslu circuit with ramkumar
Had an amazing experience on our two week trek of manaslu circuit. Our very knowledgeable and experienced guide Ramkumar made sure we were comfortable and had our every need met. Quite a challenging trek, but the breathtaking views will distract you from tired legs.

Manaslu Circuit Trek
I did Manaslu Circuit trek with this company as my friend recommended it and I couldn’t choose better. I came alone and they helped me to find a person to go with. Everything was so well organised and communication from the company was great. But what I have to highlight is our guide. Rupesh was super entertaining, enthusiastic and well known about the area. It seemed that he knew an answer to every question we had. He was making sure that we have everything we need the whole time and made the whole experience even better. Now about the trek itself - the views, villages, people.. everything was amazing and even better than I imagined. We went for a trek during Tihar so there were celebrations in the villages which was a great experience!
Overall I have to say I enjoyed the trek more than I expected and I can tell that if you choose this company for any trek you won’t be wrong!
100% recommended.
I came to Nepal knowing I wanted to do the Manaslu trek but with no planning or reservations. When I asked my hostel I got connected to Prokash who had great energy and smile and gave me all the details for the trip and was able to find me a trekking partner and all the paperwork figured out the next day. I met with our guide Rupesh in the office and the next day we set off on our journey. The Manaslu Circuit was stunning and the people we met along the way even better, and we went during Tihar so it was especially festive and the locals very welcoming. But what made the trip extra special was Rupesh our guide who would always hype us up with a big smile and was attentive and answer all my many questions. His English is great and has a matching sense of humor and made all the moments exciting, including us making a dancing tiktok video after drinking Chai with with best view of the mountains. Manaslu is his home turf so he was very knowledgeable of the area and showed us all the best spots to see and eat. Going through the agency and having a guide made this journey so enjoyable with less to think about so I was fully able to take everything in and enjoy every moment. Thank you Himalaya Hub and Rupesh for helping me explore Nepal and have an unforgettable journey!
