Rajesh and Biru, the Manaslu snow leopards
Rajesh and Virus are the best guide/porter duo! They made the experience so amazing, even in the very challenging conditions! They always put my safety first, and the jokes and their willingness to help out are outstanding. Rajesh is from the are so he knows so many people on the trek that you can always be sure you'll have access to everything you require. Biru is such a tough young man, super easy going and the best photographer out there! I'll come back next year and I'll see them again, they are friends now.

Manaslu Circuit Trek - a trek to remember
I‘ve had the best time exploring the beautiful Manaslu Circuit Trek. Our guides Rajesh, Unish and Birochan were the best. They helped us in any way possible and we had so much fun together. Our group was the best and we met so many amazing people along the trek, we all became a small mountain family. The views were spectacularly and the nature is so stunning. I definitely can recommend the Trek Mania Nepal and their guides.

Manaslu Circuit with Serang Gumpa
The tour was well organized from the very fast and good communication through whatsapp to being on the trek with guide and porter. During our time the monsoon season had not ended yet, so there were some floodings and landslides on the way. Inform yourselve well if you are capable and fit enough for the trek. However, i felt safe with my guide and porter at all times. And we went at a comfortable pace for our group without pushing ourselves too much and with sufficient breka in between. I had some altitude sickness but after taking diamox it was all good again. My advice: even though there may be some news around some floods, directly ger in touch with the provider and chexk with them directl if it is safe. Would definitely do another one with them!
Response from the operator: Dear Thomas, Thank you very much for sharing your detailed experience of the Manaslu Circuit with Serang Gumba. We’re glad to hear that you appreciated our communication, organization, and the support of your guide and porter throughout the trek. The conditions during the monsoon period were certainly challenging, with some flooding and landslides along the route, so we truly appreciate your trust in our team. We’re especially happy to hear that you felt safe and comfortable with your guide and that the trekking pace allowed you to enjoy the journey without unnecessary pressure. Thank you also for highlighting the importance of checking current trail conditions directly with the local trekking provider. Conditions in the Himalayas can change quickly, and up-to-date information is always important. We’re delighted you had a positive experience and would be very happy to welcome you back for another Himalayan adventure! Warm regards, Trek Mania Nepal

From guides to family !
We absolutely love our journey around Manaslu with Trek Mania. Our experience was way more that just going trekking, we really felt like we became part of a family. My partner and I were paired with another couple and the entire team was wonderful. Our guide, Tika, their guide Hem and their porter Deepak were so caring. They made us feel at ease from the first day, sharing stories about Nepal, the Manaslu and their families. It was so nice being able to share this with them and our group really became a little family hiking together. Every day, we were given a little briefing about the next day. Tika and the team always made sure we were feeling good, rested and that we were happy, enjoying the beautiful scenery. Even after the trek was over, we had a nice welcome back tea and the farewell dinner was great, being able to relax, talk, and eat with so many people involved with Trek Mania. Thank you for everything We really look forward to coming back. Until next time in the mountains !
Response from the operator: Dear Pamela, Thank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt review. We’re truly delighted to hear that your Manaslu Circuit journey became more than just a trek and that you felt like part of the Trek Mania family. It’s wonderful to know that Tika, Hem, and Deepak made you feel comfortable and supported from the very beginning. We’re especially happy that the daily briefings, stories, and time spent together helped create such a strong bond within the group. We’re also glad you enjoyed the welcome-back tea and farewell dinner. Moments like these are what make a trekking experience truly special for both our guests and our team. Thank you for choosing Trek Mania Nepal and for your kind words. We look forward to welcoming you and your partner back to Nepal and sharing another adventure in the mountains with you! Warm regards, Trek Mania Nepal

Manaslu Circuit Trek 13 Days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Manaslu Circuit Trek 13 Days cost?
+
Prices start at $750 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 Manaslu Circuit Trek 13 Days take?
+
Plan for about 312 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 Manaslu Circuit Trek 13 Days worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 60 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Manaslu Circuit Trek 13 Days?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Manaslu Circuit Trek 13 Days suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 312-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Manaslu Circuit Trek 13 Days?
+
Around 21 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 312-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Manaslu Circuit Trek 13 Days 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.
What is included in Manaslu Circuit Trek 13 Days?
+
Included: Government license holder English-speaking trekking guide; T-shirt, Duffel Bag, and Trekking Map with company logo; Farewell Dinner; All Fees and Taxes; and Trekking permits: Manaslu Conservation Area fees, Manaslu Special Permit (seven days only). Not included: Meals; All accommodation during the trek; Visa Fee and International Airfare; and Porters. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Manaslu Circuit Trek 13 Days include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 100 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Manaslu Circuit Trek 13 Days offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Manaslu Circuit Trek 13 Days?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Manaslu Circuit Trek 13 Days wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Manaslu Circuit Trek 13 Days if the weather is bad?
+
