Discover Manaslu with Himalaya Guide Nepal: A Trekker’s Paradise

We had a wonderful experience on the Manaslu Circuit trek with Himalaya Guide Nepal. From our home in the Netherlands, we arranged everything with Chandra, who customized the itinerary to our wishes.

On the trek, we were guided by Dinesh and Porter Birsing, who took excellent care of us. Personal attention and flexibility were evident throughout. A good down jacket and sleeping bag were provided for the cold weather.

Dinesh shared fascinating facts about the nature and culture of Nepal, and we asked many questions! The fruits (apple and pomegranate) for extra vitamins were a nice touch at the end of the day. Highly recommend!

Explored Majesty Manaslu Circuit Trek-2023

Our trek around Manaslu with our highly experienced guide Kumar, was wonderful. He ensured that everything was organized smoothly. We always had good accommodations and great food along the way, and all transportation was timely.

Kumar did everything to make our trek as comfortable as possible, allowing us to focus on walking and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. We can recommend Himalaya Guide Nepal.

PS: It can get really cold, and the evenings in the lodges are long, so bring enough money for tea to keep you warm!

Manaslu Circuit Trek-2023

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Chandra, who organized our hike, and with our guide Basu and our porter Birsing. The team went above and beyond to make us feel safe and comfortable on our first trip to Nepal.

Basu and Birsing were an incredible team, always willing to hike at our pace and ensure we had the best possible experience. Having Basu as a guide made communicating with locals and understanding local customs effortless. He was knowledgeable, patient, and always ready to assist with any of our needs. The meticulous planning and execution by Chandra (Himalaya Gudie Nepal Pvt. Ltd.)and his team left us thoroughly impressed.

We would not hesitate to book further trips with this outstanding team. 10/10!

Manaslu Circuit with Visit to Syarang Gumpa

We had a fantastic trek around the Manaslu. We sought out a local organization and found Himalayan Guide Nepal, which offered competitive all-inclusive packages and options for side tours and specials. After a live WhatsApp contact, we felt confident. Chandra Gurung organized a specific side trip for us, including a visit and meditation in the Serang Gompa, one of the Five Hidden Valleys monasteries.

Chandra also provided our guide, his brother Dinesh, upon our request. Dinesh is fluent in English and is a dedicated, careful, and responsible guide, leader, and teacher. He chose the best spots, with rooms offering the nicest views and sanitary conditions wherever possible. The daily briefings were accurate, and he offered small adaptations when needed. On our acclimatization day in Samagaun, he allowed us to reach the Manaslu base camp—great! When we were tired in Bimthang, we adjusted our plans after consultation.

Dinesh was incredibly attentive, and caring for us and the porters, always dedicated and eager to help, making our adventure a fantastic, stress-free experience. We have always trusted Dinesh, a top guide in a top organization.

Fantastic Experience with Himalaya Guide Nepal,Thank You So Much!

We had a fantastic Manaslu Trekking Tour in October 2023, thanks to Mr. Chandra and his team. Our guide was Mr. Dinesh, Mr. Chandra’s brother. Everything was perfectly organized from the very beginning, including early preparations six months in advance. We had several email exchanges and a live WhatsApp meeting to discuss the program. Mr. Chandra listened carefully to our expectations and tailored the trip exactly to our needs. He also facilitated support for a local school, which was very impressive.

From our arrival at Kathmandu airport until the end of our adventure, we were guided by Dinesh. He was highly responsible, extraordinarily friendly, very skillful (teaching us about the mountains, local culture, Buddhism, & nature), attentive, and patient, encouraging us when necessary (the trip was sometimes challenging). He managed every day of the trip perfectly. We felt well-supported and perfectly safe. We are so thankful to Dinesh and the two helpers, Govinda and Rajan!

We ended our fantastic three-week travel to Nepal with a sightseeing day in Kathmandu. Unfortunately, one day was far too short to explore this fascinating city. However, this day was perfectly organized, very relaxing, and interesting.

We have traveled to many countries, and Himalaya Guide Nepal is one of the best travel organizations we’ve experienced. We are so thankful for the great experience and friendship. If any of you guys are planning to do the Manaslu circuit or any other adventurous trip to Nepal, please do not hesitate to choose Himalaya Guide Nepal. We highly recommend Himalaya Guide Nepal company.

Manaslu Circuit Trekking With Serang Gompa

We planned this trip in April 2023. From the beginning, we could ask anything, suggest adjustments, and customize everything. We had a video call on WhatsApp with Chandra Gurung, which gave us a great sense of trust and the possibilities available. We read excellent reviews about guide Dinesh Gurung, and he truly exceeded our expectations: dedicated, flexible, interested, and always seeking the best options for our group.

We appreciate the immense responsibility he took on for us. We had engaging and insightful conversations (Dinesh even holds a master’s degree in English literature). Prices were fair, with no disputes along the way; we knew exactly what was included and what wasn’t. I don’t think there’s a better choice for a Manaslu Circuit trekking. The side trip to Serang Gompa was worth the three extra days!

Thank you so much, Himalaya Guide Nepal Pvt. Ltd team Dinesh, Chandra, Rajan, and Govinda, for everything!!

20 Days – Tsum Valley and Manaslu Circuit Trek – An Extraordinary Experience!

The Tsum Valley and Manaslu trek in Nepal, spanning 20 days from Kathmandu to Kathmandu and covering approximately 180 km plus 30-50 km of trekking, was exactly the trek I had longed to undertake. This tough, challenging, and beautifully scenic trek is rich with history and diverse cultures. The trails were not too crowded, and the tea houses were empty, providing ample opportunity to peacefully interact with the kind and gentle locals, learning about their daily life, family, and rituals. Note that the entire route relies on mule and horse transport, so some parts of the trail are littered with animal waste, attracting flies. Additionally, there are 4-5 risky landslide areas that take between 20-45 minutes to cross.

The trek was expertly organized by Mr. Chandra Gurung, owner of Himalaya Guide Nepal Pvt Ltd. He was polite and efficient in his communications, ensuring that the trek itinerary was safe and customized to my age, fitness level, and needs while maintaining flexibility for changes due to weather and other factors. Although Mr. Chandra Gurung runs a small outfit, he works diligently to design pragmatic itineraries and create excellent experiences for his customers. He provided a well-organized medical kit (the only team on the entire trek with a complete kit and an oximeter), fruits (bananas, apples, pomegranates), a duffel bag, a high-quality down jacket, and a sleeping bag. When my debit card was misplaced, he kindly organized local currency for me. After the trek, he met me at the hotel to check on my well-being, gather feedback, and hand over a beautifully framed certificate.

My trek guide was Mr. Kumar BK, a 28-year-old who was polite, professional, and highly focused on safe and responsible trekking. His wonderful and caring attitude meant he never left my side from start to finish, while patiently giving me time and space to stop repeatedly to soak in the experiences. He shared his knowledge about the people, culture, flora, and fauna. Every evening, Mr. Kumar would brief me on the next day’s plans, make necessary changes, and document the day’s progress, including medical status (overall health, oxygen levels, etc.). Most importantly, Mr. Kumar maintained 100% punctuality, offering service with a smile, and did not smoke or drink. He was an authentic trek guide and a wonderful human being, undoubtedly with a bright future ahead.

My trek porter was Mr. Lakpa Tamang, who was polite, gentle, and very caring. Throughout the trek, he took excellent care of me, warning me of any hazards, staying close, and helping me in difficult sections. He checked my room daily before departure to ensure nothing was left behind. Most importantly, Mr. Lakpa did not smoke or drink.

I strongly recommend Himalaya Guide Nepal (Mr. Chandra Gurung and his team). As mentioned, this is a small outfit, but if you are willing to be patient and respectful, you can be assured of a wonderful trek. I would trek with them again.

Manaslu Circuit Deluxe Trek-2023

We completed the Manaslu Circuit trek with Himalaya Guide Nepal (also manasluguide.com) as a couple. Our interaction with Chandra during the trip preparation was highly positive. Chandra was always prompt in his responses and took all our unconventional ideas and trip variations seriously. He ensured our trekking permits were arranged in advance (we already had the visa), so we could start immediately, even though it was a Saturday. Everything during the trip went exactly as we had planned and was to our complete satisfaction.

Our guide was Dinesh Gurung, Chandra’s brother. Dinesh proved to be an outstanding guide—knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive. We felt well cared for throughout the entire trek and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. He was also a fantastic conversation partner, and we learned a great deal about the country from him.

I highly recommend both Himalaya Guide Nepal and Dinesh, and I would book with them again without hesitation.

Manaslu Circuit Trek-2023

I did Manaslu Circuit Trek with the amazing guide Dinesh. The views were stunning, and since it was the off-season, we rarely saw other tourists, which was a nice change. I loved the experience! I’ll return to Nepal for another adventure with Himalaya Guide Nepal Pvt. Ltd.
