    Thanks toTouch the Himalaya and mr madan for an unforgettable adventure filled with natural beauty and cultural richness. The trail took us through remote villages, lush forests, suspension bridges, and dramatic mountain landscapes. Each day brought new challenges, from steep ascents to high-altitude passes, but the camaraderie and stunning scenery made it all worth it. Crossing the Larke Pass was a true highlight exhausting but incredibly rewarding. We met kind locals, experienced Tibetan-influenced culture, and enjoyed peaceful moments away from the crowds. This trek not only strengthened our friendship but also gave us memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime.

    In December 2023, We completed the Manaslu Circuit trek with Touch The Himalaya. Madan, the owner, was the best company for Us, offering the cheapest price and free gearsand poles. The trek was magnificent, quiet, and less explored. Roshan, the guide, was experienced, kind, and considerate, taking us to the best teahouses and restaurants. Our porter Ramesh was also kind. The scenery was vast, and the trek was not as challenging as expected. Highly recommended for booking with Touch The Himalaya with Madan and Guide as Mr. Roshan.

    Flying half an hour Helicopter then trek to Tsum Valley and Manaslu Circuit all in 12 Days was an amazing trip in my life. The whole team took care about every single detail to make the trek unforgettable! Our guide Madan and his crew Kumar and BIshnu booked the best accommodation available in the town during our trip, my girl friend she was having difficulty adjusting the altitude when we were over 5000 Meter and we (me and my girl) nearly decided to be back from before the Larke pass, Madan and his team empowered us, suggested some altitude adjustment ideas, Bishnu and Kumar supported and finally we succeed the mission Larke Pass, so that we all reached the destination safely. It was a great and lifetime experience. would like to thank TTHTE and all entire team who helped us to organize such an amazing nature.
