About this experience

In this trekking, trekkers follow trail from low altitude to high altitude with high variation in altitude in a day at the beginning but once you get higher we change less height and ascend less. Due to this variation in landscape, one can explore verities of flora and fauna and acclimatize easily. The Manaslu trekking makes a loop from Arughat to Besi sahar, starts from one district and ends to another. The variation in the altitude gives different experience during this trek than other trail of Nepal Trekking trails. Along with that, panorama attached in the narrow river valley, deepest George, peaky mountains, lush green forest, varieties of wild animals and white water of those rivers refresh your mood time and again.

Nepalgram guys are Stars

It was an amazing trip to the restricted region of Manaslu with Nepalgram Adventure. I felt like king in this trip. Guide Binod was intelligent, smart and attentive. Food, accommodation, tea houses and toilets are the best available in the route. Day 1 was not as organized as i was expecting, because i joined a group of 5 in this trek. But once Binod started to organize all the prospect of the trekking members it ended very good. We all made the trip over Larkey pass. We managed to trek to Manaslu base camp. The view of this trekking is incredible. I lost my phone while walking on the glacier of Manaslu base camp and the effort that Binod and porter Sunit used to find was incredible. I thank them for helping me out in that altitude with that level of care. But Unfortunately we did not get the phone back. These guys are incredible. Arun was answering all my questions and he was replying to all my emails more promptly than i was expecting. I recommend Nepalgram with full of my heart. These guys will never let your adventure low. Guys at Nepalgram (at office or in the filed are stars).

Manaslu trek

Despite Nepalgram being a very young agency, it does not lack on perfect organization and professionalism. Arun, the agency leader, has been very informative during our communications before the trip and always responding promptly. We had a quite limited time (only 14 days) and thanks to Arun's planning, we used every single minute of that time. The first day, while Arun was obtaining all the necessary permits, he arranged a trip to Bhaktapur with a professional guide, Binaya, who provided a great information on the cultural sites. Then a private jeep took us to the beginning of a trek in Sotikhola. Our trekking guide, Phuri, was also excellent - well experienced and very helpful and Robi, the porter was great as well. We were really well taken care of in terms of lodges and food. Altogether, it was a great experience and we strongly recommend Nepalgram to any trekker.

Response from the operator: Namaste from Nepal, Thank you so much for your positive review. Thank you for choosing us even though we were young as a company. By far we are matured and our team of trekking guide tour guides and team of far and wide experienced has made us to grow bigger and bigger day by day. More on them, your trust and this kind of positive review is what helped us to grow continuously. Thank you so much for talking about the trekking guide, tour guide and the entire trip you had with Nepalgram Team. We tried our best to give you a life time experience and i think we succeeded. We are really tankful for your strong recommendation. Really looking for another trip together. Might be Bhutan or Tibet if Not Nepal. Best Regards, Arun Karki CEO Nepalgram

Tsum Vallay & Manaslu Circuit

It was a fantastic experience. With Nepalgram we had found the right partner for our trip. With Rabin we had found a wonderful person as a guide who had become a good friend to us at the end of the trip. Rabin has many years of experience as a guide knows the surroundings the people and the guest houses. knows the peaks and the names. He's so we felt very respected at his colleagues. We would always make this trip with Nepalgram.

Response from the operator: Namaste from Nepal, Thank you so much for your review for our service and team. Your positive review will certainly be our power to work better in the future. Thank you for your words. Thank you huge for your precious time for the word here. Best Regards, Arun Karki CEO Nepalgram

Perfect Trip - Manaslu Circuit & Tsum Valley

Just finished our trekking tour with Nepalgram at Manaslu Circuit with Tsum Valley. Before the trip Arun organized everything perfectly, gave us all the details and informations about the tour and got not tired to answer every question. Our guide for the tour was Rabin, who is just awesome. He cared for us all the time and made sure we‘re all right. He took us to the best view points and knows just every peak and so much about the local culture. We felt totally comfortable with him and he always did his best to make this an unforgettable experience. During the trek he became family for us and we would totally recommend him as a guide.

Response from the operator: Namaste ! Thank you for your review on this platform. Your positive review about your successful trekking to manaslu circuit with Rabi is our great achievement. Thank you for writing about the trek, booking procedure, care during the trek and information. I am grateful to host you in Nepal. We are family and looking forward to see you again for another adventure together. Best Regards, Arun Karki CEO Nepalgram Adventure Pvt. Ltd.

Manasalu Trek

Booked trekking with the best guide’s company in Nepal. I am very happy that I choose Nepalgram for my trip to Manaslu circuit. From the beginning of the email corresponding to the farewell dinner Arun was an outstanding person. He became friend of the trek and took care of our accommodation, food and breaks that we needed during the walk. He managed to take us to pokhara at the end of the trip, it was so nice of Arun. Trekking of Manaslu is beautiful. Our guide Arun told us about the region mountain and the people. He has good amount of knowledge about the region. It was nice to do email conversation directly with someone who is guiding himself. Without doubt go with Nepalgram for your trip in Nepal.

Response from the operator: Namaste from Nepal. Thank you so much for your review on this platform. I am delighted to know you had a great time trekking in Manaslu. We try to give premium service in standard price,we did same in your trip. I am really happy for your positive review. I am really thankful for your time reviewing Nepalgram with these beautiful words. Looking forward to see you again for another Nepal trip together. Thank you huge for the recommendation. Best Regards, Arun Karki CEO Nepalgram

Manasalu Circuit Trek: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.

How much does Manasalu Circuit Trek cost?

+

Prices start at $1175 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 Manasalu Circuit Trek take?

+

Plan for about 288 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 Manasalu Circuit Trek worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Manasalu Circuit Trek?

+

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 Manasalu Circuit Trek suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 15. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 288-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Manasalu Circuit Trek?

+

Around 3 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 288-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Manasalu Circuit Trek 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 Private Kathmandu Sightseeing Tour | UNESCO World Heritage sites, Classic Everest Base Camp Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek. 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.
