Private 16 Days Manaslu Circuit Trek

Did this trek over 9 days with 5 friends (4 males and 2 females). Hari was our guide, Babek was our assistant guide and we had 3 excellent porters Hari went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. We adjusted the length of the tour a few times with no hassle, always had our food needs met and was highly informative whenever we had questions about Nepal. He was also super friendly and great company along the hike (as was Babek) - they were both excellent guides. The hike itself was wonderful. I’ve done EBC and probably preferred Manaslu due to starting at a lower altitude and working your way through more diverse climates. The final day over Larke pass was challenging but rewarding and the food was excellent throughout the trek. Great tea houses as well. Overall would highly recommend Hari and this tour - my friends all felt the same.

My group did the Manaslu circuit with Hari and Bibek who were both excellent, surpassing our expectations in every possible way. Our food, transport, accommodation, route planning and logistics were all taken care of which allowed us to all relax knowing everything was taken care of. Both Hari and Bibek were the ultimate professionals and we wouldn’t want to come back to Nepal without their guidance and friendship.

We recently completed this hike with a group of 6 friends. We would highly recommend it, our guide Hari, and assistant guide Bibek made for a seamless adventure. They were professional and most of all fun and engaging. We had some tough times during the hike which is to be expected, and our guides were patient and knowledgeable. This would be a perfect trip for groups of friends looking for a challenge, adventure, good food, amazing people and stunning views. Thanks again Hari for going above and beyond to look after us.

Namaste. I will give an honest review. First I will start with Mr. Upendra. He is a professional and acts straight. Everything that was agreed in advance was fulfilled. I come from Slovakia and here we are used to a different type of communication, more impersonal. You know, it works a little differently in Nepal, and if not in Nepal, at least in this company. I felt that everything was about us, not about the profit of the company. The itinerary was customizable and I never felt like anything was unclear. We also had one porter. It was Parbat. Parbat is an experienced porter and we always knew he was somewhere nearby and that our things were taken care of. I will now move on to our guide Krishna. Krishna is the Superman of the Himalayas, the Ironman of accommodations, the Captain of customer care. Now no joke: Krishna is not only a guide, he is a person who will introduce you to the local culture. Krishna always arranged the best accommodation so that we could feel comfortable even outside civilization. Krishna took care of us during the trek and also during rest. We got to know the Himalayas, we got to know Nepal, we got to know the local language, we got to know what it means to get an amazing friend - Krishna. I recommend Himalyan Leisure. If you want an experienced porter, ask Parbat. I have only known Krishna from the Guides, but I don't need to know anyone else. I would go with Krishna on any trek, to any base camp, and I would also go to the summit with him if its possible. Thank you Mr.Upendra, Thank you Parbat and most of all Thank you Krishna! We survived Nepal, we experienced Nepal, we lived in Nepal for a while...

I’ve just finished this amazing trek. We went with my fiancée on recommendation from our friends who did the trek with the exact same guide Krishna in the past, and it was the best we could do. The trip was well planned, very diverse and thoughtful. Krishna was the best guide we could ask for: skillful, caring and funny. He provided for our needs: not just getting us better rooms when it was possible, but also advice about how to best prepare for higher altitude, information about the country and the culture, and for instance also medicine for my nose stuffed from the cold and snickers when I needed it the most, and I could continue with another stuff. He taught us nepali card games and got a great sense of humour. We felt very safe around him, it was more like being on a trip with a friend. Also our porter Parbat was very skillful and communication with Mr Upendra from the company about the details of the trek was very clear, detailed and professional. Thank you for this once in a lifetime experience!
