Mehrtägiger Manaslu-Rundwanderweg

I recently finished the Manaslu circuit trek with Places Nepal and I honestly cannot recommend them enough! They organised absolutely everything from transport, accommodation, to food. They answered every single question we had before the trek started to make sure we were completely prepared. Mangal and Sujan were our guides and they looked after us so well throughout the 12days. They made sure we had enough blankets to be warm at night, that we were always full from our food, checked our blood oxygen saturation to check our adaptation to the altitude, ensured we did enough acclimatisation hikes whilst also having enough rest, and importantly treated us as part of their team and family (we even celebrated my partner’s birthday at 3,500m with cake). You will not regret going with Places Nepal, in fact you’ll have the best time that you’ll want to come back to do another trek with them! 😄

My girlfriend and I did the 12-day Manaslu Circuit this March and I honestly can’t recommend Places Nepal enough. Right from the start, the communication via WhatsApp was super easy and they answered every little question we had. It was really nice that they let us ship our gear via DHL to their office weeks before we arrived, they handled everything for us, which was a huge relief! The group size was perfect (only five of us in total), and the atmosphere was very personal. Our guides, Sujan and Mangal, were just legends. Not only did they know every detail about safety and altitude, but they were also great fun to hang out with. Even though we couldn't do the Manaslu Base Camp hike because the weather wasn't playing along, they quickly adapted the plan and found other great spots for us to acclimatize. Because of that, the whole group made it over the Larkya La Pass (Day 8) without any altitude sickness, even though it was quite a tough climb! Another highlight was waking up on Day 5 to that incredible sunrise over Mt. Manaslu. Goosebumps! The food in all the teahouses was actually really good and what we really loved was having the freedom to choose whatever we wanted from the menu. We also really liked the teahouses they picked for us. They were super cozy and had a great vibe. It wasn't just about the hiking, we honestly had such a good time just hanging out in the villages and relaxing in the lodges after a long day on the trail. Everything from the permits to the transports from Kathmandu to the starting point and in the end to Pokhara was handled professionally. It felt less like a business transaction and more like trekking with friends who really know what they’re doing. If you're looking for a local agency that truly understands Western travelers, go with these guys. We’ll definitely be back for another trek in the future!

Manaslu Circuit Trek with Places Nepal team was an amazing experience. Nam, Kishore, and Laxman were exceptional hosts. Their meticulous planning from the time of booking until the end of the trek went above and beyond what I expected from a professional agency. I never had to ask for anything; they were always there, smiling and taking care of every need. Nam is an excellent guide, a captivating storyteller, and a masterful card player, his card tricks are too good. Whenever I struggled during the climb, he or someone from the team stayed by my side, even when I told them to go ahead. Honestly, I wouldn’t have completed the trek without them. I highly recommend them for any adventure in Nepal. Nam also captures splendid pictures and videos during the trek. Nam also remembered my birthday from my passport and wished me which was a touching moment for me. Highly recommended!!

The 10 day trek of the Manaslu circuit with Places Nepal was hands down one of the best experiences of my life!!! From start to end Places was incredibly communicative and responsive and went above and beyond helping my friends and I with logistics like airport pickup, recommendations for where to buy gear, etc. The trek itself was absolutely beautiful and so smoothly run. Our guides Sujan and Mangal were incredibly knowledgeable about the area. They both made us feel SO safe and added so much laughter and fun to our group dynamic. Their itinerary also acclimatized us so well ahead of Larke Pass that our whole group completed it with ease. I would recommend this trek and this company 100 times over and am already itching to come back!

From day one when we landed on the airport to deparute date - we felt cared for and appreciated. I couldn’t imagine a trek could look like that. Beautiful views, cozy places to sleep even in totally harsh environment, very good food and a lot to choose from (although dal bhat power 24h). Kapil and Tsiring - our guide and porter- were an amazing team. We could rely on them we could always ask for help or explanation (cultural and religious wise as well). Prices very reasonable. The company took care of all the permits and local payments. During the 15 days we felt as if Himalayas were sooo in reach. Every white peak every “hill without a name” (well there is no need to call any 5/6.000 m if there are 8.000 around right?). The trek was pure magic. Best memories? Waking up to snow peaks and beautiful landscapes. Crossing waterfalls and small rivers. Gazing at the stars in the evening and night. One has to experience it to understand it. Totally recommend.

This was the most enchanting trek I have ever been on and I have hiked all over the world. I would like to thank our guide, Kapil, our porter, Ganesh, and the entire team at Places Nepal for making it possible.

We had an amazing family holiday in April with Places Nepal. The Manaslu trek is epic, amazing views and little mountain villages.Our guide Nam was with us every step of the way and ensured a seamless trip. Nam was very prepared for the trek carrying just-in-case safety equipment for high altitudes and was very considerate with how everyone was feeling and incorporated this into our daily plans. Our porters were also very helpful and came back to carry my son’s pack at one point. Places Nepal are also very invested in sustainable tourist and we love that they give back to Nepali schools / communities. I highly recommend Places Nepal if you are considering a hiking holiday in Nepal.

We just finished our 10 day trek on the Manaslu Circuit with our guide, Kopil. This trek is a mix of beauty and endurance, and it’s very important to have a good companion by your side. From day one, Kopil impressed us with his ability to sense the client’s needs. He didn’t just fulfill the basics that were part of the package, like taking care of lodging and food. He always feels when to be there to assist or give advice, and when to respect the client’s privacy. Any request or minor issue was solved with a smile and a calm voice. We always felt safe, thanks to this person. Equally important was the time management, which was excellent. His ability to change and adapt to our needs and interests throughout the daily itinerary worked smoothly every time. He always offered a few possible options and advised which one was better. I can honestly say that all 10 days spent with this guy went smoothly, with no reason to be dissatisfied or upset. I’m grateful to him for leaving Nepal with so many wonderful experiences and memories. A big thank you to you, Kopil.”

For the first time I trekked this far and for this long (days), I've never been this tired from walking. At first 4 days were very tiring and made my both legs sore and pain, but our guide Gokul, assistant Guide Mangal, and Guide to be Sujan, always kept helping, supporting and encouraging me that I can go through the pass, they even offered me to carry my daypack (it's not really heavy just 1-2 kg, but for such weak human like me who rarely exercise, it weighs on me so much that slowing me down. Mangal also took care of us everyday, he was making sure if everybody's okay everyday. And luckily, there some acclimatization day (that I skipped), I should've come with other friend, but just sat in the sun room and walked around the inn to stretch my leg, but it really made me feel better, Sujan our youngest teammates really helped me a lot, I felt like having a private guide, he served me the whole day, and some other days also he helped me carry my daypack, and refill water, and order food. I'm sure you will be a very good guide! In the end, I managed to get through the Larke Pass, one of the longest highest pass in Himalayan. YESSS All the tiredness paid off with this achievement, thanks to everybody... Day after day has passed, we're getting closer to each other, I felt like we've become friends and family in time, I feel really happy but also sad because we have to separate after this trek ends. Thank you for Gokul, Mangal, Sujan, and we have Ganesh my porter, my private assistant (on basecamp day), and TempK you're so funny, you built the atmosphere and made everyone laugh. I really enjoy the trek with u guys, I am sorry for things maybe I've done wrong, and also sorry for bothering you guys too much, wish you guys enjoy our trek too. I hope we will some other trek together again one time.

Absolutely loved the Manaslu trek with PlacesNepal ! The guides (Gokul and Mangal) and porters (Ganesh, Temke, Sujan) were amazing—super helpful, kind, funny and professional. The group chemistry was great, which made the trek even more enjoyable. The views were stunning, but what made the experience truly unforgettable was the time shared with such a great team. I had an incredible time with PlacesNepal and would definitely recommend them for anyone considering going to Nepal. Already looking forward to planning my next trip, jam jam !
