my wife and i just finished an amazing manaslu circuit with nepal nirvana trails’ team of jami and balkumar! plenty online about the circuit itself but what stood out were jami and bal’s professionalism, thoughfulness, patience and kindness throughout the 10 days. every day was well planned and went extremely smoothly. we started on time, meals were pre-ordered and we had time to unwind, change/shower, snack with tea and cookies before dinner. he noted our preference for quiet rooms or tables (we’re middle aged folks, not super into the partying) and early meals we were well prepped on weather to expect, how to dress warmly enough, when we’d need microspikes or not, how much water, etc. despite an over 100mile epic journey, it went about as smooth as can be. i will miss the trails, the views, food, and kind hosts in nepal nirvana. already told my wife we should come back for annapurna!

 

We had an incredible 16-day journey on the Manaslu Trek, and it truly exceeded all our expectations.A special thank you goes to our guide, Sukram. He was extremely helpful, kind, and always attentive to our needs. For example, when I had an issue with my sleeping bag, he immediately took care of it without hesitation. Throughout the trek, he shared so much knowledge about the Himalayan culture, which made the experience even more meaningful and authentic.What we appreciated most was his calm and relaxed personality. Sukram was very patient and gave us the perfect balance between guidance and personal freedom. We never felt rushed or pressured—he allowed us to enjoy the trek at our own pace while always being there when needed.The mix of informative briefings, cultural insights, and light-hearted moments was just perfect. We laughed a lot together and truly enjoyed his company.Also, a big thank you to KP, the owner, for organizing such a well-planned and smooth trip.This was an unforgettable experience, and we can highly recommend both Sukram and the team for anyone planning the Manaslu Trek!

We did the Mardi Himal trek for 5 days in March and it was fantastic! Although the weather was unpredictable with some rain and fog, but the views along the trek was still spectacular. You travel through different terrain and experience everything from a mossy forest to clear mountain views. Our guide Resham made the trip fun and exciting, and he was very attentive to our needs. When we were injured or tired, he would ensure our safety was his highest priority. Since we are beginner trekkers, he followed our pace. He even gave my husband a nice back massage after a long day of trekking! We would definitely come back again to trek with him. We are already planning our next adventure in Nepal :)

Bhairas tamang is good guide
dev is definitely a fantastic porter
Good experience to start nepal trip

We were very well taken care of throughout the entire journey. Our guide Bhairas Tamang constantly checked on us, adjusted each day’s pace according to our condition, and made sure we were comfortable, always asking if we were hungry or cold. He was also very professional, explaining the names of each mountain and the origins of the villages along the way. We even learned some basic Nepali phrases, which helped us communicate a little!
Our porter Dev was the strongest person I’ve ever seen. When I was too exhausted to continue, he even slow down for me to check if I was fine. I’m truly grateful for his kindness and thoughtfulness.
One of our friends was hiking for the very first time, yet still successfully reached ABC. We highly recommend everyone to come and experience this!

My mother, Jenny, and I had the most wonderful time on the Manaslu Circuit. It really was the trip of a lifetime and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Right from the get-go we knew were were in good hands with Kul and his team at Nepal Nirvana Trails. They did an amazing job with the arrangements, and were thoughtful and proactive throughout our time in Nepal. Dipak, our guide, was incredibly kind and knowledgable, and went out of his way to adjust to our pace and needs (and to answer my many questions about flora and fauna and the Hindu and Buddhist faiths!). Our porter, Dawa, was so sweet and caring and wore an unwavering smile right to the end, despite our slow effort over the Larka Pass! He’ll make a terrific guide one day and has our commendations. They both do. All in all, this was a truly spectacular trip, and one we’ll be dining out on for a long time to come.

 

Our 13 day trek through Langtang Valley would not have been the same without our incredibly thoughtful and genuine guide Uttar. We learned so much, and the experience was unforgettable. Uttar made our daily life on the trail very easy and gave us confidence to succeed! Uttar told us what terrain to expect, chose lunch spots we wouldn't have even known existed (with beautiful views and always absolutely delicious food). There is nothing Uttar cannot do. We had heavy overnight snowfall at Tserko Ri which covered all trails and Uttar guided us seamlessly to the peak (through thigh high snow at the top!). With Uttar we experienced 100 times more than we would have otherwise. There were so many ways Uttar enhanced our trip every day, we cannot recommend him highly enough.
Nepal Nirvana Trails organised everything smoothly, the communication before arriving in Nepal, meeting our guide and having the logistics explained, all the way to flying out was exceptional allowing a stress free experience. Would highly recommend!
