Manaslu Circuit in team of 5x50

We made a 14-day Manaslu Circuit incl. transportation from Kathmandu to the trek start and to Pokhara after the trek. That included 3 side treks to Himalchuli Base Camp, Manaslu Base Camp, Rui La Pass (Tibetan border).

We are a group of 5 high school friends turning 50 this year that reconnected after many years.

From the very beginning we got a very professional service from Ganga who was achievable, responsive, flexible, provided suggestion, etc. That standard was kept by him throughout and after the trek.

Our guide Krishna turned to be a unique young person. Perfectly organized, very responsible, maturely reacting to unexpected challenges that are inevitable taking into account nature, team and length of the trek. At the same time professionally relaxed and making good team spirit, ensuring everyone and everything is OK. We could feel all the time we are in good hands and could enjoy the unique experience. He also managed to organize on the way a few elements that were not certain and we treated them as 'best case scenario', like 2 nights in the Buddhist monastery being a base for us to make the Himalchuli Base Camp 1-day side trek. I myself made the Annapurna Circuit exactly 25 years earlier when we organized everything ourselves and had no guide or porters so in the beginning I was even a bit embarrassed how caring and committed Krishna and the 3 porters were.

Finally we all made the trek exactly according to the daily itinerary. That was a splendid experience that we'll for sure remember forever. Highly recommended!
