Hiking in Nepal is a dream for many, and for my second trekking adventure, Everest Hikes proved to be an outstanding partner from start to finish.
I completed the Manaslu Circuit, a trek often described as more moderate than Everest routes, though “gentle” is still a relative term in the Himalayas. What I appreciated most about this journey was the opportunity to slow down and truly experience the landscape, from the rhythm of walking along mountain trails to the quiet beauty of remote villages and expansive vistas.
My guide, Saran, played a key role in making this such a successful and memorable trip. He had an excellent knowledge of the route and had clearly built strong relationships with local communities along the way. This added a level of authenticity and ease that made the experience feel much more personal.
Saran kept the trek well organized and ensured I was prepared for each day’s challenges. He was attentive to both logistics and safety, carrying a medical kit and demonstrating confidence and competence throughout. At the same time, he tailored the experience to me, offering encouragement and challenge based on my previous trekking experience, which I greatly appreciated.
Overall, I felt well supported, safe, and fully able to enjoy the experience.
I would not hesitate to recommend Everest Hikes to anyone considering trekking in Nepal. When I return next year, I will absolutely choose them again.
