Alternative Route Sranga Gumba
Our trek along the Manaslu Circuit - Alternative Route was truly unforgettable, thanks to our guide Buddha Gurung and porters Bibek and Dhanrajl. Exploring the alternative route was a highlight, immersing ourselves in village life and experiencing homestays along the way, which provided an incredible insight into Nepalese culture. Buddha's knowledge and approachability ensured a safe and enjoyable experience, while our friendly porters, who spoke excellent English, added to the camaraderie of the journey. Subash was fantastic in coordinating everything via email and even assisted us with organizing additional aspects of our trip after the trek. It's evident that this company genuinely cares about ensuring a memorable experience in Nepal. We highly recommend booking with them for your next adventure.
