If you want to escape the Annapurna and Everest crowds, this is the trek. The sense of solitude on the Manaslu Circuit, especially in Tsum Valley, is priceless. Himalayan Forever are experts here. Their relationships with teahouse owners meant we got the best rooms and warmest welcomes. The trek is challenging but doable for anyone with good fitness. The landscapes are constantly changing and always dramatic. A true adventure.
Review for 22 days Tsum Valley and Manaslu Circuit Trek
Having trekked in Nepal before, I can say Himalayan Forever stands out. Their commitment to responsible tourism is clear. In Tsum Valley, they ensured our visit benefited local monasteries. The guides are genuinely passionate, not just doing a job. The trek itself is magnificent—Manaslu up close is awe-inspiring. The food was great, and the gear (like sleeping bags) was high-quality. Felt very well looked after from start to finish

Incredible trip! The organization by Himalayan Forever was flawless—permits, transport, accommodation all sorted. This let us fully immerse in the trek. The diversity is astounding: one day you're in subtropical valleys, the next among Himalayan giants. The Larkya La summit day is intense but absolutely worth it. The team was fantastic, especially our lead guide. His attention to detail and care for the group was evident. A first-class operation for a world-class trek

This trek was more than a hike; it was a journey for the soul. The peace in Tsum Valley, the prayer flags fluttering in the wind, the kindness of locals—it stays with you. Himalayan Forever fostered these moments. They connected us with communities respectfully. The Manaslu Circuit scenery is raw and powerful. Yes, some days were tough on the legs, but my spirit felt lighter every day. A special thanks to guide Karma for sharing his stories. Unforgettable.

As a seasoned hiker, I chose this trek for the challenge and remoteness. Himalayan Forever met the brief perfectly. Logistics were seamless, letting me focus on the hiking. The Tsum Valley detour is a must—its seclusion and Tibetan culture are hauntingly beautiful. The pass crossing is no joke; prepare for a long, cold day, but the views are your reward. Our guide's deep local knowledge added so much context. A physically demanding but immensely rewarding trek with a top-notch operator.
