    "Amazing Manaslu Circuit Trek" We had an amazing time doing manaslu circuit trek. With sherpa Expedition & Trekking our guide Ram was very experienced and made sure we acclimitised well before the pass. While others were resting at the tea house, we were practicing 900 ascent. He always made sure we had good rooms and always ordered our dinner early so we could eat earlier. He also made many adjustments to the itinerary according to our pace and our request to jeep the dirt road on the way back. Our porter guide was also very experienced and observant. He was also always in the kitchen helping with making our meals, which I never saw other porters do. We will definitely trek with them again when we come back to Nepal!More.

    Excellent Trek- lots of steps both up and down. Amazing views and a great contrast between the wooded valleys below 3000m to the mountains above. But make sure your fit as there are some hard days with an average of 6/8 hours walking each day.

    BRILLIANT EXPERIENCE! HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! - Sherpa Is Best Company What can I say, loved the trip! All along the way, the little cottages where we rested, had our meals and in some cases, stayed for the night, are really cool as well, with nice welcoming people making their living there. And at the base camp, the view of the mountain peaks and the sunrise... Wow! If you can, don't miss this trip. You won't regret it!

    It was my first ever trek to Nepal and it became my lifetime experience. Trekking the Rapid ABC was really a wonderful day and I would highly recommend it to all those who are willing to trek to Himalayas. Annapurna region was awesome and mind-blowing. Surrounded by the beautiful mountains of Annapurna and Fishtail were worth watching. Local People were nice and amazing, always presenting themselves with smiles. Definitely, the hospitality was good. I am happy that I visited Annapurna with my like-minded friends. That will be a lifetime experience for you

    The Base Camp trek was really beautiful, with diverse views each day. I had not done much trekking before and found it not too difficult. A good amount of time to get a real sense of Nepali culture. Highly Recommended!

    Great Trip!!It was really visually beautiful and fulfilling around the Himalayas. Need to basically climb and descend hundreds of meters of elevation. It could be quite tough but it’s a great adventure.
