. - 🌟 Manaslu Circuit – 15 Days | Nepal is Safe to Travel! 🌟
We (7 family members) had an absolutely unforgettable journey on the Manaslu Circuit Trek with Nepal Lion Tours and Treks. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish — from our airport pickup to the farewell evening in Kathmandu.
The company even provided us with advanced health monitoring devices, which gave us extra confidence and helped us track our vital signs throughout the trek. We booked directly through the official Nepal Lion Tours and Treks website, which offered the best price with clear and reliable terms and conditions.
Our guide Binod and porter Rajendra were truly exceptional — skilled, caring, and always attentive. Binod shared fascinating stories about the local culture, people, and the majestic Himalayas, making every day both educational and inspiring.
We also want to emphasize that Nepal is a very safe country to visit right now — the warmth and hospitality we experienced made us feel completely at home.
The entire porter team was wonderful — cheerful, hardworking, and always ready to help. What impressed us most was the personalized care: every request was handled with flexibility, our walking pace was always respected, and we never felt like “just another group.”
We wholeheartedly recommend Nepal Lion Tours and Treks to anyone planning a trekking adventure in Nepal. Thank you for giving us such a unique and heartwarming experience — we will definitely be back! 🙏❤️

14-day trek around the manaslu - We set off on a 7-day trek with Nepal Lion Tours & Treks around Manaslu, and the experience was amazing from start to finish.
Our guide Binod led the group perfectly, with great control of the course and real attention to each one. Quiet, organized and very professional, he created a Mood of confidence and good mood. Together with Rajeendra, our porter, they formed an effective and funny duo, always there to lighten the atmosphere even in the most difficult moments.
The tour of Manaslu is a demanding but beautiful trek, through spectacular landscapes and isolated villages where you can fully experience mountain life. Thanks to the flawless organization of the agency and the beautiful energy of Binod and Rajeendra, we were able to take full advantage of every step.
Many thanks to Nepal Lion Tours & Treks for this memorable adventure — a serious, human agency that I definitely recommend.

Manaslu tour - We just finished the trek of the Tour du Manaslu with the agency and we are absolutely delighted! Our guide, Binod, was amazing - his knowledge of the area, culture and landscapes was impressive. He was a great help throughout the trek, gave us very good advice and made the experience even more enjoyable with his good humor and smile.
The porter, Raz, was also great. He took care of our luggage and helped us every step of the way. We appreciated his kindness and availability.
The landscapes we saw were simply amazing - from green valleys to snow-capped peaks, we were amazed by the beauty of nature. The guest houses where we stayed were superb, clean and comfortable.
We also had the chance to meet wildlife and walkers from different backgrounds, which made the experience even more rewarding.
We highly recommend this agency for its professionalism, expertise and warm Welcoming. Thanks to Binod, Raz and the whole team for this unforgettable experience in Nepal! 5 stars well deserved.

🌟 Unforgettable experience around Manaslu with Nepal Lion Tours and Treks! - We went on a 13-day family trek around Manaslu with Nepal Lion Tours and Treks, and we can only recommend them warmly!
From the first exchanges, the team was able to listen to our expectations and perfectly organized an itinerary adapted to our pace and our desires. The Binod guide, with exemplary professionalism, accompanied us with kindness, humor and an impressive knowledge of the region. Always attentive to our safety and comfort, he created a friendly and reassuring Mood throughout the journey.
The discreet but incredibly effective Raj porter was a valuable support in the more demanding moments of the trek. Thanks to their help, we were able to adapt to the sometimes harsh mountain conditions, cross the Larke Pass and reach the Manaslu base camp, a highlight of emotion and beauty.
This trek will be remembered as an exceptional human and family adventure. Thank you to the whole team for this flawless organization and for allowing us to live this unique experience in the heart of the Himalayas!
🙏 Namaste and see you soon for new adventures!

100% reliable and passionate trekking agency - We had an exceptional 16-day experience on the Manaslu circuit with Nepal Lion Trekking.
Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, and we were accompanied by our super guide Binod, a passionate, attentive and always listening professional. He was constantly looking after our comfort, choosing the best guesthouses and sharing with us his knowledge of Nepal’s culture, nature and mountains.
Thanks to him, we were able to enjoy breathtaking views and an unforgettable trek, always in the best possible conditions.
We were also accompanied by Raz, our porter, a little more discreet but very kind, always present in difficult times to help and encourage us.
Finally, the manager of the agency has done everything to offer us the best value for money, making sure that each stage of the trek takes place in the best conditions.
You can trust them completely: professionalism, benevolence and authenticity are waiting for you.
I highly recommend Nepal Lion Trekking to all those who wish to discover Nepal with confidence and live an incredible human adventure.

Manaslu family tour with Binod and Raj - We went on a 15-day trek around the Manaslu with Nepal Lion Trek, accompanied by Binod, our guide, and Rasindra, our porter.
From the outset, the agency was attentive and open to discussion, which allowed us to adapt the route and conditions according to our desires and budget — a very valuable approach.
Binod is an experienced guide, respected on the circuit and by the inhabitants of the villages crossed. With more than thirty laps of the Manaslu to his credit, he knows every detail of the course. His sense of family and kindness really marked our adventure.
Rajendra, is in a good mood and has the will to help, he has provided valuable help throughout the trek.
The chosen guest houses were carefully selected, welcoming and located in pleasant locations.
A beautiful experience, human and sincere, that we recommend to those looking for an authentic and well accompanied trek in Nepal.

Nice and smooth trekking experience - It’s a trek with many scenarios, not totally a breeze for an older female trekker like me. With the expertise of Nepal Lion Trekking Co. , the trek was fine and smooth. Easy payment transaction process, good communication in every step, a plansant trekking experience.

Trip of a lifetime - My bucket list item is now crossed off! Highly recommend booking with Nepal Lions tours. Shiva was professional from the get-go and answered all of my questions promptly. The assigned guide and porter were extremely supportive and I felt like I was in safe hands. The trek itself was incredible. The Manaslu region was diverse in climates (warm, dry valleys - to lush rainforest - to snow capped peaks) and there was a tonne of wildlife to see and experience. Definitely more affordable than other companies but still got the 5 star treatment.
