Manaslu Circuit + Tsum Valley
We did the Manaslu + Tsum Valley trek. And we had a great experience. Salman Gurung, our guide made sure everything went smoothly, and took good care of us on the trek. He booked rooms for us in good and clean tea houses, we played cards and had fun. He also made sure we had time for our selfs which was very nice. We are overall very happy with our trek with Himalaya guide and Salman Gurung.

Amazing trek
An unforgettable 13 days on the Manaslu Circuit! I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience trekking the Manaslu Circuit. A massive thank you to Danesh, Lakba and Probin for making these 13 days in the Himalayas so special. Our whole group had such an amazing time, with every day bringing something completely different, from the incredible landscapes and mountain views to experiencing the local culture and learning more about the Buddhist traditions and way of life along the trek. What really made the trip unforgettable was the people. Our guide and porters went above and beyond every single day, always looking after us, sharing their knowledge and making sure everyone was having the best possible experience. Their kindness, humour and genuine passion for what they do made the trek even more memorable. I couldn’t recommend this experience highly enough. Not only did we get to explore one of the most beautiful parts of the world, but we also came away with incredible memories and a much deeper appreciation for the people and culture of Nepal. A huge thank you again to Danesh, Lakba and Probin. Absolute legends, and I couldn’t have asked for a better team to share this adventure with!
Response from the operator: Hi Danniel Namaste, First, thank you for coordinating your group and choosing our Himalaya Guide Nepal Pvt.Ltd. as your holiday partner in the Himalayas. Second, Thanks for your nice compliment about our team's services. Lastly, our team is always ready to welcome you and make your trip fruitful. Keep in touch Thanks

Manaslu circuit - amazing experience !
We did the Manaslu circuit trek (13 day trek) with 2 of my good mates, and has the pleasure of being supported and guide by Dinesh, Provin and Lakpa and could not have asked with a better group to go with. They did everything they could to give us a wonderful experience and were selfless in the support they gave us. They were constantly in a great mood and always smiling. Dinesh was a great guide and helped us to navigate some sections that were affected by recent weather conditions. We always felt safe and felt like we could rely on them at all times. It was an amazing experience and would recommend it to anyone who would like to experience Nepal and the beautiful treks that comes with it. We will definitely be back.
Response from the operator: Hello Dillon Thanks a lot for your review of our team. We really appreciate your comment. And thanks for choosing our company for your first holiday in the Himalayas. Thanks

We absolutely loved the team as well walking with 2 porters Proben & Holm and organising everything through Chantra, who was so helpful and able to get all 7 of us girls to and from the airport, all our food accommodation before and after the hike.

Best guide company ever!!
We had an incredible experience trekking the Manaslu Circuit with Himalaya Guide Nepal. From the very beginning, Chandra was professional, responsive, and organized, making the booking process smooth and stress-free. Our guide, Dinesh, was outstanding throughout the trek. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and always made sure we were safe, comfortable, and enjoying the journey. His experience and friendly personality added so much to the trip. Our porters, Hom and Pravin, were absolutely amazing. They worked incredibly hard every day, always with a smile, and their support was invaluable. We were truly impressed by their dedication and positive attitude. The Manaslu Circuit is a spectacular trek, and the excellent service from the entire team made it even more memorable. We highly recommend Himalaya Guide Nepal to anyone planning a trek in Nepal and would not hesitate to book with them again in the future. Thank you, Chandra, Dinesh, Hom, and Pravin for an unforgettable adventure!

Why this scores 85
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
16 Day Private Manaslu Circuit Trek from Kathmandu: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does 16 Day Private Manaslu Circuit Trek from Kathmandu cost?
+
Prices start at $1,135 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 16 Day Private Manaslu Circuit Trek from Kathmandu take?
+
Plan for about 384 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.
Is 16 Day Private Manaslu Circuit Trek from Kathmandu worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 71 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 16 Day Private Manaslu Circuit Trek from Kathmandu?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 16 Day Private Manaslu Circuit Trek from Kathmandu suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 384-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 16 Day Private Manaslu Circuit Trek from Kathmandu?
+
Around 25 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 384-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 16 Day Private Manaslu Circuit Trek from Kathmandu start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?
+
On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kathmandu Sightseeing | UNESCO World Heritage sites Private/Group, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek: Private Group & Discounte Price. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kathmandu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
