Nepal Social Treks Review

I’ve just completed the 15 day Everest Base Camp trek with Nepal Social Treks and can’t praise the company, guide & porter highly enough. My guide in particular, Lhakpa was an absolute star who could not do enough to make the time away as comfortable as possible. Considerate, knowledgeable, funny, kind & inspiring. I genuinely don’t think I could have completed the trek without their support! A lifetime ambition completed thanks :)

Great guide

The Everest Base Camp trek was amazing. Everything was organised for us. The accommodation and food was better than we expected. Our guide Amrit was professional, knowledgeable, and kind. He adjusted our trip to follow our pace. When we got sick, he was extremely helpful and caring, and made sure we got the care we needed. We can't wait to return to trek again.

Awesome Annapurna Trek

We were extremely happy with our choice of Nepal Social Trekking for the 12 Day Annapurna Circuit Trek. We were expecting a group, but in the end, it was just my wife and I and Guide Kamal with Porter Nabin. Kamal always seemed to get us the best rooms at the Tea Houses and his knowledge of the trek was outstanding. He assisted and monitored our water intake, food and oxygen stats every day over 3000m, so on the morning we set off for Thorung La pass, we did it with ease. No headaches or any other issues. Our Porter was always very obliging and together they made a great team. Flights back to Kathmandu and other admin didn’t seem any issue. We highly recommend the company

We did the 12 days trek from Lukla to Everest Base Camp. It was an amazing experience! The trip is beautiful. Our guide Narayan helped us in every moment to reach the final destination. The porters were very kind. We recommend this experience!

Reaching Everest Base Camp was a dream of mine and this trek was really amazing!! Narayan, our guide, was truly skilled and great company; he supported us even in the most difficult moments. A heartfelt thank you to the porters, who, tireless and always smiling, made our trek possible! Well done, everyone!

FAQs about Manaslu Expedition

Expand all

How much does it cost for the Manaslu expedition?

According to the Tourism Department of Nepal, the royalty cost for mountains above 8000 meters varies according to different seasons. For the Spring season, the cost per person for the Manaslu expedition is $1800. Whereas, the cost per person for the Autumn season is around $900. Likewise, it is $450 per person during winter/summer. Besides, the royalty cost, other costs may vary according to different agencies.

How tough is it to climb Manaslu?

Manaslu is the 8th highest mountain in the world. It has an altitude of 8163m. Manaslu is known to be one of the most technical mountains to climb. It is a perfect mountain to train yourself before you attempt a summit of other 8000m peaks like Everest, Annapurna, or Kanchenjunga.

What are the food and accomodation facilities like?

Manaslu trek is a remote trekking region. It receives very few tourists, even during the major seasons. That is one of the reasons why it has few teahouses, and the accommodation facilities are pretty basic. We will be staying in these teahouses during the expedition, so the food and accommodation facilities are basic.

Once you’re in the base camp, the food that we import from abroad is what we offer. Our sherpa cooks will ensure that they give you the taste of home while you’re away from home. Foods like pasta, bacon, pizza, beans, or such are offered. Similarly, for accommodation, we use high-quality tents and stay in camps.

Which route do we use for the climb?

Altogether there are six routes for climbing Manaslu peak. While the long crests of this mountain allow for climbing from all sides, the Southern route is claimed to be harder. Thus, you will be climbing with our team from the northeast face of the mountain, which is the most common route.

Who will be my guide?

For your assistance, we have managed world quality professionals who are well known for their skills and performance across the world. Our guides are professionals on mountaineering with extensive knowledge about the Himalayas. They have more than 5 years of experience, along with the experience of summiting Everest at least 3 times.

Are there rescue operations in Manaslu?

Yes, there are heli services for rescue in the Manaslu region. In case of emergencies, we provide rescue services from Manaslu Base Camp. All of this should be covered in your insurance policies for you and our insurance covers our support staff.
