14-days Manaslu circuit with Arjun and Sandip
Me and my boyfriend decided to go for 14-day trek around Manaslu starting early May and I approached Touch The Himalaya asking for help with arranging the trip. Madan was incredibly helpful and patient to answer all our questions and he provided a lot of helpful tips and details, since we were not experienced with high altitude trekking, so we felt really confident prior to the departure.The trekking turned out to be the most amazing experience we’ve ever had, not only due to the beautiful sceneries, but most of all thanks to our amazing guides – Sandip and Arjun!
They taught us about the Nepali language, culture and customs, disclosed many hidden gems and introduced us to local people, which were all as warm-hearted as our wonderful guides.
Sandip, while being the rising star of Nepali music industry, had the most gentle personality and he was the best trekking partner one could wish for. Also, he is able to carry a 110kg person for half an hour. 🙂
Arjun knows the Manaslu region like the back of his hand and he would do everything to make sure you are having a good time.
Throughout the whole trek both of them were attentive and considerate, they adjusted the pace and itinerary according to our needs so that we felt comfortable at all times. Thanks to their experience and perfect planning we were able to successfully cross Larke pass while having fun the whole time.
At the end of the trek, we considered both of our lovely guides as part of our family and we are hoping to return very soon to visit this beautiful country again.
Date of experience: May 2019
