Amazing Manaslu circuit Trek
I enjoyed this trek around Manaslu, both for the discovery of the grandiose landscapes and the life of the inhabitants and the culture. I was surprised by the state of the roads (often single tracks!), as well as the fact that treks are such an institution in this country. I was struck by the harsh living conditions of the inhabitants, particularly in the mountains, and the poverty, but also by the courage of the inhabitants and their kindness. If I have the opportunity to return to Nepal, I will try to stay longer to discover other regions, notably the Terai and its national park.

Unforgettable Trek Manaslu Circuit
In Kathmandu, I joined a small group of three solo travelers for an unforgettable trek. Our guide, Kalyan, added humor to our journey while sharing his expertise on the Manaslu Trek. Throughout my 1.5-month stay in Nepal, Kalyan Gurung a native Guide provided invaluable assistance,. The trek was a highlight, and I highly recommend exploring the Manaslu for its secluded beauty. This experience has left me eager to return and discover more of Nepal's landscapes and culture!

Native Guide fManaslu Tor rek
My trek with the Alpinist club was amazing! Kalyan Gurung provided excellent pre and post-trek support, promptly addressing all our inquiries. Ram Gurung, our Native guide, was fantastic - helpful, funny, and truly dedicated to ensuring we had a memorable experience. The Manaslu Circuit offered breathtaking views, and we completed the trek in just 14 days instead of the planned 16. Meeting wonderful people along the way enhanced our journey. I highly recommend the Alpinist Club and plan to return for another trek.

Christmas holiday in manaslu trek
Had an awesome time trekking Manaslu Circuit at Christmas. Tough but rewarding with stunning views and rich cultural experiences. Huge thanks to our amazing guide Kalyan Gurung for his local expertise, helping us cross Larke Pass when others couldn't due to snow. Friendly, knowledgeable, grew up in the area. Highly recommend the Manaslu trek with the ALpinist club and Kalyan Gurung for an authentic, remote, and challenging adventure!

Incredible adventure with amazing Guide
I can't praise the Alpinist club team enough. From excellent communication during planning with Subash to meeting our guide, Kalyan, upon arrival in Kathmandu, the support was impeccable. Despite weather challenges on the Manaslu Circuit, Kalyan smoothly rerouted us to Khopra Ridge and the poon hill trek, allowing us to explore diverse regions of Nepal hassle-free. Already contemplating our next adventure with them!
