My stop over the Manaslu was one of the best memorable and unforgettable adventure in my life. From the friendly staff to the service they provided, everything was perfect as compare to others. I was always looking forward to come this beautiful place for the new experience and I must say that I am really delightful after seeing all the things. I have always loved Nepal and it´s beauty. After experiencing, I can proudly say that Rana and the team are doing really a great job and helping to see such a beautiful place with all the difficulties.

Save money by renting key items like sleeping bags down jackets and trekking poles from operators such as Adventure Himalayan Travels for $2-5 USD per item daily.
