My Second Trek with Trekking Trail Nepal

This was my second trek with Trekking Trails and I had a brilliant experience on both treks. The Manaslu Circuit proved to be a challenging trek with several long days and lots of uphill and downhill sections but the rewards and the views were well worth the effort. Our guide Lokendra and our porter Jayendra looked after us very well - Lokendra used his extensive experience of the mountains to ensure that we were fully fit and acclimatized to the altitude before we crossed the Larke pass and was always on hand to answer our many questions and to offer very good advice.

We always arrived at out destination for the day in good time and as we got higher up and the days walk was shorter we often did an extra acclimatization walk to explore the village that we had arrived at and to ascend to Manaslu base camp on our rest day. By choice we ate Dahl Bat most days which was always good and helped to give us enough energy for the long days of walking - we did vary this a few times and the food was always good. Jayendra was always there to greet us with a smile along the way and with our room keys when we arrived at our destination for the day. Both Lokendra and Jayendra were always there for us and became our friends - our little group of 2 people became a group of 4 people and it was like we were all enjoying the trek and walking in and enjoying the beautiful mountains together. We also enjoyed a great sightseeing day in Kathmandu with our guide Keesha who was good company and easy to be with and answered all of our many questions.

I would highly recommend Trekking Trails - Apar and the team have taken good care of us all the way from our initial enquiry and arrival in Kathmandu through the sightseeing day and a fantastic trek to our final farewell supper.
