Manaslu circuit with Gakul - We had a great time on the Manaslu circuit trek with our guide Gakul. My fiancée and I did the Manaslu circuit in 11 days, including transport days. We are experienced trekkers from Norway, but both the region and the altitude was new to us. Throughout the journey, Gakul made sure we always knew the plan for the upcoming day, and could answer questions we had about our route. We kept a good pace, determined by us, and Gakul was both clear in communications and patient whenever we needed a bit of extra time (for example morning logistics). In the highest parts of the trek, we had to work a bit with the altitude, and Gakul was proactive in both checking up on how we were doing, and reminding us to take our altitude tablets. He made us feel safe and comfortable whenever we needed to take it a bit slower, or drink some extra because of the altitude. He also paid attentions to our needs, and anticipated what was important to us at our different accommodations through the mountains. On the social side, we really enjoyed trekking with Gakul, both discussing current events, local culture and having some good card games in the evenings, I would wholeheartedly recommend both the trek and Gakul as a guide.

11 day Manaslu adventure - Great trek to the Manaslu circuit with our guide Gakul. Beautiful scenery and nice trails. We also did a day hike to Pungyuen Gumba which was very nice! Can recommend both the trek, the company and Gakul as the guide 😊

Everest Base Camp Trekking with best guides - I had a memorable experience with Dinesh, Go Cool and Umesh for my trekking to the Everest Base Camp. They cared about me during the entire trekking, creating a great group atmosphere, helping me every day, supporting me during challenging moments, sharing the Nepali culture. I am very grateful for having all you at my side. I strongly recommend them for future trekking. I hope to come back Nepal and have you at my side. Thanks a lot for all guys.

Gakul is the best - We had a stellar experience on our Manaslu tour, led by our guide Gakul. Gakul was professional, knowledgeable, and made every stage of our journey feel comfortable and secure. Beyond his exceptional performance in guiding us through high altitude zones, he went to great lengths to deal with issues that came up, including recovering a lost iPhone by coordinating with multiple members of a local Nepali community, coordinating with taxis days after our actual trek was completed, and safely managing acute mountain sickness in one of the clients. The trek/circuit itself is world class, including extensive exposure to alpine locales and tibetan culture. We had an unforgettable experience.

Manaslu circuit trek - From the get go the discover altitude team helped me immensely. Making sure I had everything I’d need to complete the circuit. My guide bhakta was the most incredible guide you could ever ask for, from helping me learn my Nepalese to providing me with countless pieces of information about the Manaslu range. He was so welcoming, nice and helpful, making the Manaslu circuit trek something I will never forget.

A great hike - A very pleasant hike through the forest following a roaring stream up the mountain. It is a popular outing for many from Kathmandu so there were quite a few groups hiking. The crowds thinned out as we got higher and finally we had a lovely meal at an organic farm and restaurant before returning along the same route. A thoroughly enjoyable outing!

Unforgettable experience in beautiful mountains - This was my first trek in Nepal and it was truly amazing. The trip was very well organized, our guide Thakur was very friendly and always selected great places for rest and food. Our porter Chandra was very helpful and always in the good mood, although he needed to carry a lot more than we did. The surrounding of Manaslu is amazing piece of nature full of wild animals, beautiful plants, breathtaking views and nice locals in the villages. Also the journey to the start of the trek by local transport was unforgettable experience. I would recommend this tour to all trekkers, who are looking for great adventure in beautiful mountains and don't want to share the track with crowds as it could happen at the better known treks around Everest or Annapurna. You should be ready to step out of the comfort zone for few moments - yes, few ascents were challenging due to high altitude and it was very cold one night we spent at Dharmasala - the last village before Larkey Pass. After our comeback to Kathmandu we had very nice lunch with Kumar and Santosh - the guys from Discover Altitude who told us many interesting facts about life in Nepal. All in all it was one of the best experiences in my life and in few years I will definitely come back to Nepal and go for another trek with Discover Altitude.

Manaslu Circuit Trek - 10 days - I appreciate nice approach from our guide and porter. They took care of us and we could enjoy breathtaking views and moments in beautiful nature near Manaslu. The agency had everything very well prepared in advance. We did customized 10 Manaslu circuit days trek instead of 12 days. It was difficult but still manageable due to great help of our porter. Thanks a lot.
