Best Company forever for Manaslu Trek Nepal.
October 15, 2025
This was my second visit to Nepal, and along with eight Japanese friends, all students, we completed the Manaslu Trek in January 2017. Words cannot fully describe how amazing this trekking experience was, all thanks to our guide Madan Neupane, who is also the owner of Manaslu Guides Nepal. We had met him the previous year, and he personally organized and guided our trek.
Madan speaks excellent English, is extremely knowledgeable, and is an expert on the Manaslu region, being a local himself. On the way to Manaslu, he even brought us to his hometown, Lapudanda, where we stayed overnight. It is a beautiful village with incredible views of parts of Manaslu and Ganesh Himal.
From the very start, everything felt perfectly organized. Madan was an incredible guide who always made sure we were happy and comfortable. As a local, he knows every corner of the Manaslu region, which made our journey even more special. After six days of trekking, starting from Shyala, the daily panoramic views of the mountains, especially the towering Manaslu, made us forget all hunger and fatigue. The view from Larke La was absolutely breathtaking.
He also shared insights about the Tsum Valley, another amazing area that was not part of our plan. We have already decided to explore Tsum Valley next year with Madan and Manaslu Guides Nepal.
I have no doubt in recommending anyone who wants to explore the Manaslu region to contact Madan Neupane at Manaslu Guides Nepal. He will make your trip unforgettable. A big thank you again to Madan and the entire team.
