Client Reviews

Simply the best

"When you’re planning a trip to Nepal it’s easy to be overcome by the number of tour operators all wanting to provide you with their services. You can save yourself a lot of time, effort and money by contacting Pasang or Tenzing, the owners of Manikang Nepal Treks and Adventure. If you are looking for a life changing experience where you are safe, well looked after and have a great time Pasang and Tenzing can organise this for you. They are honest and highly experienced operators who provide a very professional service. I have known Pasang and Tenzing since the start of 2015. Prior to that I’d used several other trekking companies in Nepal and none of them were as caring and knowledgeable. Nothing is quite like arriving at Kathmandu Airport late at night, after a long flight, and being greeted by the familiar smiling faces of Pasang and Tenzing. Prior to leaving home, having trekked some of the more travelled trails, I asked Pasang for his recommendations for a short trek (as I had time constraints) which was easily accessible from Pokhara and was less travelled. With Pasang’s vast experience he was able to suggest the community managed eco-Trail from Galeshwor - Mohare Danda -Ghode Pani, a comfortable six day walk with magnificent scenery where we passed only three other trekking groups. Guide Tenzing and Master Chef Jagat provided invaluable help when we encountered waist deep late season snow drifts near Mohare Danda( 3300 m). We then linked up with the more well trekked route of Tadapani -Chomrong - Dhampus where the Modi River Valley provided further spectacular scenery. On the drive back from Pokhara to Kathmandu, we stayed overnight at the hilltop village of Bandipur where the preserved typical Nepali architecture of the buildings has maintained the old world charm and well worth visiting. I would highly recommend Manikang Nepal Treks and Adventure and look forward to planning my next adventure with them."
