Trek 12 Days Manaslu Circuit Trek

Amazing trek to Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley

An incredible experience. Mr Madan helped us organize everything in advance in a very clear and professional way. Permits were obtained, we were introduced to the guide and the pricing was competitive and it was clear what we payed for and that the price was fair. We set off with our guide Mr Resham on a trek of 18 days. I traveled together with a Vietnamese friend. We both were fit and able to do parts of the trek faster then planned, which allowed us to visit a Tibetan cultural village up the valley from Chumling which was amazing. Overall, we were flexible in our itinerary which was great. When we proposed to spend a night in a monastery in the Tsum valley, this was no problem, although this meant a bad night sleep, also for Resham. In general, Resham is an extremely kind guy who listened to our requests perfectly for which I’m very thankful. Resham is an amazing guide who takes time to explain things, is always there to help no matter what and is flexible to your demands. We told him we would prefer to stay a night in a more quite and less touristy village and he arranged it, as he knows the region very well. I had some issues with the altitude the day prior to the day we passed the pass. He handled this very relaxed, professionally, told me what to do and how to think, and that everything will be ok. In case it was required when something happened, we had one day of flexibility in our itinerary, but we finished the trek one day earlier. Very professional and important to keep this space, just in case. After I finished the Manaslu circuit I already booked tickets to Lukla with Touch The Himalaya to depart in one week. I however didn’t feel like doing that anymore as my body felt a bit weak from traveling for 8 months straight. I called Madan and he cancelled the tickets for me without any problems. A beautiful experience!!! I will definitely do it again if I have the chance!! Thank you!!!

Trek Everest Base Camp Trek - 12 days

Everest base camp trek

This is not my first choice of Touch the Himalayas. Having good experience of one-day trip around Kathmandu last year, and based on the experience of my friends, we chose this firm again for Everest BC and Gokyo lakes individual trek. I admire director of firm Madan and his ability to meet all client expectations. Madan helped us to prepare for the trip, resolved our queries and offered complements after trek (such as massage and farewell dinner). Despite of some unpleasant weather conditions, this was wonderful trek and wonderful experience with a lot of sweet memories I also appreciate the efforts of our dear guide and porter during the trek we were the best team ever I do reconnect Touch the Himalayas to organize your trek in Nepal or ever in neighboring countries.
