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.

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 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.

Amazing Trek and Service – Thank You Touch the Himalaya!

Our guide and porter were absolutely amazing – kind, professional, and always making sure we had the best experience possible. The guide had deep knowledge of the area and shared so much interesting information along the way. We want to send a special thank you to Madan from Touch the Himalaya for organizing everything so perfectly. From the planning to the execution – everything was smooth, safe, and enjoyable. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a personal and well-organized trekking experience in Nepal!

Trek Annapurna Circuit Trek

Highly recommend - amazing team and service!

I had a wonderful experience on my Annapurna Circuit trip! Even from before booking, the staff were incredibly helpful - clearly explaining and planning all the details of the route and offering great advice on what equipment to bring and how to prep. Everything from permits to accommodation was taken care of for me, making the process smooth and stress-free. My guide, Arjun, went above and beyond to ensure I had the best experience possible, always accommodating any extra needs I had along the way. I highly recommend booking any treks or trips with Touch the Himalaya—their knowledge, professionalism, and customer service are outstanding!

Trek 14 Days Manaslu Circuit Trek

Trekking to manalsu circuit with my friends.

Thanks toTouch the Himalaya and mr madan for an unforgettable adventure filled with natural beauty and cultural richness. The trail took us through remote villages, lush forests, suspension bridges, and dramatic mountain landscapes. Each day brought new challenges, from steep ascents to high-altitude passes, but the camaraderie and stunning scenery made it all worth it. Crossing the Larke Pass was a true highlight exhausting but incredibly rewarding. We met kind locals, experienced Tibetan-influenced culture, and enjoyed peaceful moments away from the crowds. This trek not only strengthened our friendship but also gave us memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime.
