Summary:
I say this with my whole heart — this was the most memorable experience of my life. There are truly no words to describe how incredible the team at Nepal High Trek & Expedition is. Thank you to Anjan and his team for setting the highest standard of customer service and for making us feel so safe and welcome throughout our Manaslu Circuit Trek.
I would like to personally thank our guide, Anos Tamang, for his radiant energy, for bringing our group together, and for guiding and encouraging us every step of the way. He is deeply knowledgeable about all things mountain-related, but most importantly, he is an honest and selfless man who always puts your well-being first. He ensures that you are well looked after and that your journey is as smooth and comfortable as possible. I couldn’t have been happier to have Anos lead us around the circuit for 10 days. I would’ve stayed with him longer if I could! I highly, highly recommend him.
I would also like to thank our incredible porters, Alon and Biswas. It was Alon’s first time completing the Manaslu Circuit, but you would never know it from his confidence, positivity, and endless strength. With a constant smile on his face every day, there was no challenge he couldn’t overcome. Biswas has the legs and lungs of a hundred horses! It was nearly impossible to keep up with him, even while he carried over 30 kg of our equipment. He made sure all our gear was safe, organised, and waiting in our rooms before we’d even caught our breath.
Thank you, Anos, Alon, and Biswas. You will forever hold a special place in my heart. 💚

Summary:
Life changing experience.
This was my first high altitude trek. Our guide, Anos was excellent. Very knowledgable and experienced. Biswas and Alon, our porters, were also very wholesome and made the trip a lot easier. The team overall made the trek fun and exciting
Briefing, communication, timeline, etc. were very clear. Always felt in safe hands.
Room for improvement: the jeep at the end of the trip was quite cramped for 5 pax + porters + guide. And had to wait due to logistical issues.
