Trek Manaslu Circuit Trek - 16 Days

Wonderful trip to tsum valley

Last month we made a trekking to tsum valley with Raju as a guide and two of his friends as porter. It was already the third time our family was on a trip with raju in the Manaslu area. It’s great that Raju is born in the Manaslu region so he knows the area and it’s people very well. Even if a temple is closed, Raju will find the guardian who’s willing to open up and show the building. Next to that he is a nice person. Always in a good mood and laughing, taking care of my sister who was a bit afraid at the more difficult passages and taking control when my brother got ill at high altitude. Together with his porter friends, they form a very nice and helpful team, always trying ho help. In short, we had a really wonderful trip. If we return to Nepal we’re sure we want to travel with raju again.

Amazing trekking experience with Rishi

We had a fantastic trekking experience with Rishi and our porter! When our original Manaslu Circuit trek was cancelled due to a landslide, Rishi quickly helped us arrange a wonderful alternative trek. He was knowledgeable, friendly and professional, and made us feel safe and well taken care of throughout the journey. We highly recommend trekking with Rishi!

Trek 14 Days Manaslu Circuit Trek

Rishi is a very nice, loyal en flexible guide

Rishi is a very nice, loyal and flexible guide. He is helpful and tries to fulfill your wishes during the trek. He gives different options / suggestions during the trek depending on the area. For example visiting a monastery, lake, village etc. If you would like to stay somewhere one day longer it’s all possible.

Trek Annapurna Base Camp Trek-10 Days

Amazing solo trek to Annapurna Base Camp

I’m very happy that I decided to book my ABC-trek with Touch The Himalaya. Mr. Madan was always available to answer any questions that I had and it made me feel very safe traveling alone as a woman. My guide Rishi took good care of me for the nine days we were on the trek, he knew all the best places to stay and to eat. He made my morning at Poon Hill very special by heading up there extra early to enjoy the sunrise over the Himalayas before it got too crowded. And we also reached Annapurna Base Camp on the clearest day ever! Even after the trek, both Mr. Madan and Rishi, made sure I was okay in Pokhara by myself and told me to call if I needed anything. Also Mr. Madan made sure my stuff that I left in Kathmandu arrived to my hotel when I got back. I highly recommend booking a trip with Touch The Himalaya! Definitely 10 out of 10!

Trek Langtang Valley Trek

Touch the Himalaya, the people and its culture

November 2025 I have done the Langtang- Gosainkunda -Helambu trek in 16 days organized by the agency Touch the Himalaya Trek & Expedition. Madan Neupane, director of the trekking agency is a friendly and trustworthy person who has a lot of experience in trekking, especially because he has been walking all the treks by himself. He is a great source of information and listened well to my personal wishes! Madan, thanks a lot for your warm welcome with the milk teas at your office and the time you spend in answering all my specific questions. I warmly recommend you and your trekking agency Touch the Himalaya Treks & expedition. In particular I like to mention my guide/porter Ram Adhikari who accompanied me 16 days during the trekking, he is a sincere and pleasant person and is able to communicate in English well. Ram, thank you for your accompany, I really liked the time (and interesting talks about Nepal and ) we had together. I warmly recommend you as a guide/ porter!

Trek Khopra Danda Trek

A 10 day trek including the Khopra Danda (ridge) and poon hill views

Madan and team were less than guides and more like family during this trip. The tour itself was tiring at times (for a first time trekker) but beautiful, ever-changing and exciting all the way. Consider me a repeat customer and look forward to the first available opportunity to fly back and enjoy the beauty of Nepal and its caring people.
