🌟 Manaslu Circuit – 15 Days | Nepal is Safe to Travel! 🌟 We (7 family members) had an absolutely unforgettable journey on the Manaslu Circuit Trek with Nepal Lion Tours and Treks. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish — from our airport pickup to the farewell evening in Kathmandu. The company even provided us with advanced health monitoring devices, which gave us extra confidence and helped us track our vital signs throughout the trek. We booked directly through the official Nepal Lion Tours and Treks website, which offered the best price with clear and reliable terms and conditions. Our guide Binod and porter Rajendra were truly exceptional — skilled, caring, and always attentive. Binod shared fascinating stories about the local culture, people, and the majestic Himalayas, making every day both educational and inspiring. We also want to emphasize that Nepal is a very safe country to visit right now — the warmth and hospitality we experienced made us feel completely at home. The entire porter team was wonderful — cheerful, hardworking, and always ready to help. What impressed us most was the personalized care: every request was handled with flexibility, our walking pace was always respected, and we never felt like “just another group.” We wholeheartedly recommend Nepal Lion Tours and Treks to anyone planning a trekking adventure in Nepal. Thank you for giving us such a unique and heartwarming experience — we will definitely be back! 🙏❤️

14-day trek around the manaslu
We set off on a 7-day trek with Nepal Lion Tours & Treks around Manaslu, and the experience was amazing from start to finish. Our guide Binod led the group perfectly, with great control of the course and real attention to each one. Quiet, organized and very professional, he created a Mood of confidence and good mood. Together with Rajeendra, our porter, they formed an effective and funny duo, always there to lighten the atmosphere even in the most difficult moments. The tour of Manaslu is a demanding but beautiful trek, through spectacular landscapes and isolated villages where you can fully experience mountain life. Thanks to the flawless organization of the agency and the beautiful energy of Binod and Rajeendra, we were able to take full advantage of every step. Many thanks to Nepal Lion Tours & Treks for this memorable adventure — a serious, human agency that I definitely recommend. ⸻ Would you like me to make you a short version (3–4 sentences) to publish in parallel on Google Maps or TripAdvisor?

Manaslu tour
We just finished the trek of the Tour du Manaslu with the agency and we are absolutely delighted! Our guide, Binod, was amazing - his knowledge of the area, culture and landscapes was impressive. He was a great help throughout the trek, gave us very good advice and made the experience even more enjoyable with his good humor and smile. The porter, Raz, was also great. He took care of our luggage and helped us every step of the way. We appreciated his kindness and availability. The landscapes we saw were simply amazing - from green valleys to snow-capped peaks, we were amazed by the beauty of nature. The guest houses where we stayed were superb, clean and comfortable. We also had the chance to meet wildlife and walkers from different backgrounds, which made the experience even more rewarding. We highly recommend this agency for its professionalism, expertise and warm Welcoming. Thanks to Binod, Raz and the whole team for this unforgettable experience in Nepal! 5 stars well deserved.

Nice and smooth trekking experience
It’s a trek with many scenarios, not totally a breeze for an older female trekker like me. With the expertise of Nepal Lion Trekking Co. , the trek was fine and smooth. Easy payment transaction process, good communication in every step, a plansant trekking experience.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Manaslu Treks 12-days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Manaslu Treks 12-days cost?
+
Prices start at $1,250 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 Treks 12-days 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 Manaslu Treks 12-days worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 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 Manaslu Treks 12-days?
+
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 Manaslu Treks 12-days suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 288-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Manaslu Treks 12-days?
+
Around 5 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 Manaslu Treks 12-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 Treks 12-days?
+
Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; All taxes, fees and handling charges; Lunch; Public transportation (bus, subway, cable car, etc.); and Dinner. Not included: Drinks; Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase); International airfare and Visa fees; and Your travel and medical insurance. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Manaslu Treks 12-days include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu. Be ready about 420 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Manaslu Treks 12-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 Treks 12-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.

+
