    Trek Manasulu 12 days. Great experience with Hiamalya Treks! Upstream of the trek, we were able to remotely plan the route, logistics. Mom, the agency manager, was very accommodating and and attentive. We were able to get to the start of the trek without worries. During the trek, our guide Koumar was at the top: kind, helpful, attentive. He found us quality lodges throughout the course and allowed us to spend a trek with peace of mind. I recommend this agency and Koumar as a guide!

    Touch the Himalaya were fantastic! Speedy to get us out in the Manaslu and Tsum Valley Trek. Very thorough and clear with pricing and gave us a great price. We trekked with just a guide and carried our own gear. Madan was quick to organise transport, permits, a guide, packing list and an itinerary for our tour all within a day. Moti is an awesome guide! Funny personality, very caring, great service and went above and beyond his way to give us the best experience. He kept us fed very well sneaking us extra rice and dahl baht every dinner 😋. He organised great accomodation for us to be well rested and prepared for our big days and negotiating great prices. He took us literally every step of the way from our accomodation in Thamel to Mu Gumpa in Tsum valley to 5106m on Larke Pass. Through our tiredness, excitement, boredom, awe of nature, our best and not so best. It’s truly been a great adventure with Moti from ‘Touch the Himalaya’, and to not only have just a guide but gained a a great friend through this experience. To Moti, a very dear and heartfelt THANKYOU bro🫶😊

  • Time of our lives on the Manaslu Circuit + Tsum Valley Trek

    angelahA2420JK,,Dec 13, 2025

    - Review from Tripadvisor

    An absolutely life-changing experience, could not have asked for anything to go better than it did. We did the Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley trek in a bit over 2 weeks and had plenty of time to soak it all in, some bigger days to push ourselves and some more chill days to rest and relax. It was a perfect time to go if one can stand the cold, as we pretty much had the trail to ourselves but of course we also made some lovely friends. Our guide Moti was extremely kind, caring and helpful and we had the best time enjoying the scenes and breaking out into dance. Thank you to him for making our trip so amazing and also special thanks to Madan for helping us organise everything so easily too before we headed off.

    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.
