I'm a regular customer, and never have I had such a wonderful experience with Top1Trekking. The hotel is spotless and comfy, and the trekking routes are very well-marked. The tour guide was extremely helpful, as were the porters. I will be returning to Nepal soon on another trip organized by Top1.

During our trip to the Manaslu Circuit Trek, we were extremely impressed by their service and professionalism. Prakash explained and provided us with information about the many ethnical groups we encountered, as well as their culture, history, and religion. The Porter's team is great; they're nice and engaging... I highly recommend this company!

Nepal and the trip were a topic of discussion. We believe we made an excellent choice by selecting Top1trekking to complement our Manaslu Circuit trek experience, in addition to the beautiful landscapes and wonderful people along the route. From the first planning in our nation of origin to the day we arrived in Nepal, we had been assisted by Yen with careful counsel and suggestions. They were assisted by a dream team that included Prakash, the Tour Guide, and four porters (a combination of experienced, intelligent, and down-to-earth individuals). Even before you express it aloud, the crew may recognize what you want or need. It was more than merely exceptional customer service; it was also referred to as heartfelt assistance. We are grateful for the time, care, love, and laughter that you have given us on this journey, and we hope to see you again soon. Thank you, Top1trekking, for all your help...

We traveled with Top1Trekking to Manaslu in September and October this year. It was, without a doubt, a Lifetime Journey, largely owing to the professionalism of Top1Trekking's leader and porters, who became our dear friends. We intend on trekking to EBC again with Top1Trekking next year again with Top1Trekking.I would highly recommend this Nepal trek company to anybody wanting to explore the gorgeous regions of Nepal's Himalayas.

Trip Information

ROUTE

The Buri Gandaki river originates in the Himalayan glaciers at the border with Tibet and flows south, cutting off the Manaslu Himal from the Ganesh Himal to the east, creating a deep light-excluding canyon that makes trekking around Manaslu more difficult than most in Nepal.

The journey is made up of a lot of climbing and descending, with frequent ascents and descents over ridges and down difficult pathways on cliffs face.

The Tsum Valley section of the trek is located at elevations above 3,000m, which was formerly off-limits until 2008. This place is a genuine hidden gem in this area, with century-old Tibetan customs prevailing in the basin and spectacular mountain views of the Ganesh Himal from the valley’s holy Buddhist pilgrimage sites. The Milarepa’s cave, which features magnificent mountain views of the Ganesh Himal, is located near the base of this peak.

The higher section heads north-northwest to Larkya La (5,125 meters), giving a close-up look at the world’s eight tallest peaks: Manaslu Himal, which has a steep climb that frequently passes through snow and ice and reaches the top is considered one of the most dramatic pass crossings in the Himalayas.

FAQ

After getting to Besishar, you may reach Pokhara in 5 hours Pokhara, a lovely city with magnificent lake views is a fantastic location to unwind your legs after the long trek. There are many things to do here to keep you occupied.

Kathmandu is a cultural center, therefore if you like visiting religious monuments, you may extend your visit by a few more days to see some of UNESCO’s heritage in the valley, such as Pashupatinath, Nepal’s sacred Hindu temple, and Bouddhanath, Nepal’s largest Buddhist stupa.
