Manaslu in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. Recommended.

Manaslu in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Would send friends their way.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. No hesitation recommending them.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Crew were professional without being stiff about it. Would send friends their way.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Would send friends their way.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. No hesitation recommending them.

Did this over 5 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Recommended.
