We did the Manaslu trekking with Hilalayan Hub, and it was tremendous! Our Sherpa Shiva was really kind and professional! The trek was just amazing, I can't even remember all the stuff we saw, and the people we met. You can run with them! Thank you guys, for the tea also! Namaste

I did a city tour and several trekkings with this company, which all were very good! First I did a city tour with Dhruba. After that I went on a Manaslu en Mardi Himal trekking with Suresh en Sujan, after this a combination of Langtang Valley and Tamang Heritage Trail with Suresh and Ramhari. All the trekkings and tours were very good and I really enjoyed them. The guides and porters were really good and gave me an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

In May, my husband and I were finishing a 6 month trip around the world with 1 month in Nepal. We had no plans when we arrived, just an idea that we wanted to go to Mansalu; but we had heard it had suffered significant damage from the 2015 quake and weren't sure if we were going to be able to make it happen. When we arrived in Kathmandu, we decided to go with Himalaya Hub because they had amazing reviews and were the most honest and personable organizer we met with. They made us feel cared for and didn't make us feel like just another sale...And arranged our journey in less than 36 hours! First, a bit about our guide, the wonderful and kind Babu. By the end of the trip, Babu was more than a guide, he became our friend. Not only did he educate us on the terrain, the names of the glorious peaks, and the animals along the way, but he introduced us to the local people...something that was very important to us because unlike other countries, when you trek in Nepal, you stay in people's homes. Very special people's homes. Babu helped us build a meaningful connection to the community in each village we stayed. In one location, Babu helped us buy potatoes from a local village woman and convinced the tea house owner to let us cook our own food, because my husband likes to cook (lets just say the locals can cook their food way better than we can!). In another case, we sat with Babu in the house kitchen and dined on freshly made momos made by Dai Chen, the "woman of the house." We sat drinking Yak tea (yuck) for an hour, learning what it's like to live so far up (3700 m) in the mountains, how to raise a family there, etc. In another case, Babu helped us literally catch a chicken (aka run around a village looking like a chicken with its head cut off) for dinner, the day after the pass. There were countless experiences that Babu gave us that made our journey that much more personal, meaningful, memorable, forever. He played cards with us. He made us laugh. He took us to the best tea houses to stay in. He made sure we were always comfortable and happy. He picked berries for us to eat (safe berries..the yellow looking rasberry ones - yum!). Babu is simply THE BEST and everyone should request that he be their guide. You won't regret it! Second, a bit about the journey. Going to Manaslu and Tsum Valley was amazing. From what we understood, there was a lot of damage from the quake, and some was still visible. But the Manaslu trek is definitely open and I highly recommend it, especially with the Tsum addition. Less people I think are traveling here, which is unfortunate because it is so beautiful. But it's definitely not for the faint of heart....be prepared to walk long distances. Tsum Valley is a really special place because the Buddhists there still feel very much attached to Tibet and speak their own language unlike other Buddhists throughout the country. It's like this little magical valley the world forgot about - there are no roads connecting to it...just green fields of wheat (or I guess yellow depending on the season) surrounded by massive peaks. At the top lies an amazing monastery with lovely monks - 1 who is over 70! And there is an amazing nunnery, where many of the women taught themselves English. Manaslu is also amazing. We stayed our first night at the owner's in laws house, which was a lovely experience. In general though, the tea houses are very nice on this trek, many recently rebuilt after the quake. The Larke pass is beautiful. We were "fortunate" to have a snow storm right when we arrived to the camp before the pass (Dharmasala) so everything had a fresh coat of snow on it. But the views are fantastic. The only downside of Manaslu is when you meet up with the Annapurna trek, which only reaffirms why you should pass on that trek and opt for something off the beaten path (literally). Bottom line, you can't go wrong with Manaslu, Tsum, Himalaya Hub, and most definitely not Babu!

trekkin the Manaslu circuit with Anantha Bhai was amazing. He was knowledgable , a good friend and companion on a a 16 day trek in the himalayas. I cant wait to go go back. We will definately use Puri and request Anantha(if he isnot busy , as he always is). Puri gave us a great deal .... I definately recomend this company. Have an awesome trek!!! and buy chocolate!! lots of it... :)

We went to Kathmandu to do the Manaslu trekking at the end of April and came across Himalaya Hub upon arrival in Kathmandu. The staff at the office was really helpful, they gave us a lot of information and recommended to add the Tsum Valley to our trekking itinerary. This turned out to be a nice extra trip to add to our first plan, the Tsum Valley was beatiful with lots of traditional villages and it gave us more time to get used to the height before doing Larke Pass. Our guide from Himalaya Hub was Nirmal, a very friendly and thoughtful guy who could tell us a lot about the region + he would tell us riddles when we had a difficult time going up the mountain. This turned out to be a great way to keep our minds occupied and was just a lot of fun. So we would definitely recommend Himalaya Hub and Mister guide Nirmal for trekking in Nepal, for us it was a great experience!
