Me and my dad were doing the manaslu circuit track. It's the most beautiful and challenging thing I've done so far. We made it to larke pass and back to Pokhara. We witnessed manaslu sunrise with the monastery and other magical moments. All of this was possible because of our great guide Deepak. He guided us through landslides, rivers, waterfalls. He kept us motivated in hard times and he chose the best guesthouses to recover.
We had a lot of fun and i can't wait to get back to Nepal to do the next track with him.
tl;dr amazing guide, experience agency, great activities, that got us a helicopter when we got stuck.
We trekked at the Manaslu circuit, an amazing experience that we didn't even heard of until this agency told us about. Our guide was Sandip, great guy, took care of everything and helped us allot.
At the end of the trek we got stuck in one of the villages because of bad weather, Sandip and the agency help us get a Helicopter, so we could get out.
Wonderful Manaslu & Annapurnas Circuit Trek with Ram
We did an amazing long trek with Ramkumar from Himalayan Hub in the fall of 2021. We started in the lower valley of Gorkha, going all the way to Larke Pass with wonderful views on the Manaslu and the surrounding range of 7000m+ moutains. This area is quite remote and people don't really speak English although they are very welcoming, so it's really nice to have a guide for easier interactions and also to understand better the culture of people living in this area. It was quite affected by the landscapes due to the previous moonsoon and Ram was very helpful to find a safe route throughout the trekking area. He is born in this area and therefore had a lot of cool information and anecdotes to share!
After the Larke Pass we came down in Manang Valley, connecting with the Annapurna Circuit, which is also extremely beautiful. We went to the Thorong La Pass with Ram then to Lower Mustang valley where we visited Muktinath to finish the trek, an amazing place where many hinddus and buddhists from across the world come for the temples.
22 great days, thank you!!
We were 4 backpackers aged 25-30 and asked for being grouped together, which resulted in a cheaper price and more fun. We did the Manaslu Circuit and it was a super experience. I can totally recommend this trek. Our guide Rupesh was very experienced with all aspects, e.g. geography, historiy, culture and knowing good tea houses and so on. His English is very good and due to his young age (around 30) he was the perfect fit for our group. Ask for him!:))
I had a great time trekking the Manaslu Circuit with my guide Rupesh. It was a challenging and rewarding 12 day experience. We navigated landslides, walked through incredible scenery and ascended to over 5,100m at Larke Pass. Rupesh was very knowledgeable about local history and culture. I am very glad I decided to complete this trek. Thank you Rupesh for the fantastic memories.
