Amazing Trek with Tsering!
I had an exceptional trek in Nepal, largely thanks to my incredible guide, Tsering. The scenery of Manaslu is out of this world, the tea houses are cozy, and the food was excellent. Tsering truly made the trek memorable. He provided great information, recommended food, and took amazing photos. I was so impressed with how much work he put in to make the trek easy and low stress for me. I cannot thank him enough! The guide on our team. Sajang, was also wonderful and brought lots of positivity to the team! Coming as a solo woman, I cannot recommend this company and guide enough!

Manaslu circuit trek with Tsering and Sajan
Manaslu circuit trek with Tsering and Sajan My Manaslu trek was truly an unforgettable experience and something I’ll always look back on with great memories. The incredible scenery, peaceful trails, and stunning Himalayan mountains made every day special. A big thank you to the Tsering and Sajan, as well as the guys in Kathmandu, for their professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care throughout the journey. They made me feel safe, supported, and comfortable every step of the way. Everything was well organised, and their friendly approach made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I’m so glad I chose this trek and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable adventure in Nepal!

You will not regret going with Places Nepal!
I recently finished the Manaslu circuit trek with Places Nepal and I honestly cannot recommend them enough! They organised absolutely everything from transport, accommodation, to food. They answered every single question we had before the trek started to make sure we were completely prepared. Mangal and Sujan were our guides and they looked after us so well throughout the 12days. They made sure we had enough blankets to be warm at night, that we were always full from our food, checked our blood oxygen saturation to check our adaptation to the altitude, ensured we did enough acclimatisation hikes whilst also having enough rest, and importantly treated us as part of their team and family (we even celebrated my partner’s birthday at 3,500m with cake). You will not regret going with Places Nepal, in fact you’ll have the best time that you’ll want to come back to do another trek with them! 😄

Manaslu Circuit with Places Nepal - An unforgettable adventure with heart and professionalism
My girlfriend and I did the 12-day Manaslu Circuit this March and I honestly can’t recommend Places Nepal enough. Right from the start, the communication via WhatsApp was super easy and they answered every little question we had. It was really nice that they let us ship our gear via DHL to their office weeks before we arrived, they handled everything for us, which was a huge relief! The group size was perfect (only five of us in total), and the atmosphere was very personal. Our guides, Sujan and Mangal, were just legends. Not only did they know every detail about safety and altitude, but they were also great fun to hang out with. Even though we couldn't do the Manaslu Base Camp hike because the weather wasn't playing along, they quickly adapted the plan and found other great spots for us to acclimatize. Because of that, the whole group made it over the Larkya La Pass (Day 8) without any altitude sickness, even though it was quite a tough climb! Another highlight was waking up on Day 5 to that incredible sunrise over Mt. Manaslu. Goosebumps! The food in all the teahouses was actually really good and what we really loved was having the freedom to choose whatever we wanted from the menu. We also really liked the teahouses they picked for us. They were super cozy and had a great vibe. It wasn't just about the hiking, we honestly had such a good time just hanging out in the villages and relaxing in the lodges after a long day on the trail. Everything from the permits to the transports from Kathmandu to the starting point and in the end to Pokhara was handled professionally. It felt less like a business transaction and more like trekking with friends who really know what they’re doing. If you're looking for a local agency that truly understands Western travelers, go with these guys. We’ll definitely be back for another trek in the future!

Manaslu circuit
Manaslu Circuit Trek with Places Nepal team was an amazing experience. Nam, Kishore, and Laxman were exceptional hosts. Their meticulous planning from the time of booking until the end of the trek went above and beyond what I expected from a professional agency. I never had to ask for anything; they were always there, smiling and taking care of every need. Nam is an excellent guide, a captivating storyteller, and a masterful card player, his card tricks are too good. Whenever I struggled during the climb, he or someone from the team stayed by my side, even when I told them to go ahead. Honestly, I wouldn’t have completed the trek without them. I highly recommend them for any adventure in Nepal. Nam also captures splendid pictures and videos during the trek. Nam also remembered my birthday from my passport and wished me which was a touching moment for me. Highly recommended!!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Multiday Manaslu Circuit Trek: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Multiday Manaslu Circuit Trek cost?
+
Prices start at $1,200 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 Multiday Manaslu 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 Multiday Manaslu Circuit Trek worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 24 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 Multiday Manaslu Circuit Trek?
+
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 Multiday Manaslu Circuit Trek 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 Multiday Manaslu Circuit Trek?
+
Around 8 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 Multiday Manaslu 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 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.
