I had an excellent Mt. Manaslu trek in October 2024 with Nepal Mountain Guide Team & can whole heartily recommend them.
I was impressed with their professionalism, personality, communication and organisation. I really valued the stress free aspect of the whole trip, for example will meet you at the airport, transport you to your hotel, organise all aspects of the trek including trekking permits, arrange all accommodation, provide a porter if you want one recommended, help purchase any last minute items (in our case we needed crampons, as the pass was covered in snow), as well as providing excellent knowledgeable and experienced trek guiding.
I waited until I was in Kathmandu and could meet trekking companies offering Manaslu trek. Nepal Mountain Guide Team stood out from the 3 other recommended companies I spoke with: sanjib is very professional, knowledgeable, competent and well organised. Their fee for the trip was reasonable.
Our group was small, French couple, Excellent Guide: Raj (beware, Raj is very good at card games, never misses a trick 🙂 Santosh, our strong porter and me. We trekked most days 5-6 hours, staying in simple tea houses (private 2 person rooms). Tea houses have restaurants attached, you will get to know Dal Bhat..
The trek was spectacular, we had amazing views of many mountains and glaciers. There were many unforgettable moments and stunning photos! The flora and fauna slowly changes from tropical to alpine over the days hiking, which is interesting, it’s not until day 4 that you start to see the big mountains. Most days are 4-5 hours walking.
I have no hesitation in recommending Nepal Mountain Guide Team (Nepal Planet Treks) & will trek with them again next year 2026.
