In this trekking, trekkers follow trail from low altitude to high altitude with high variation in altitude in a day at the beginning but once you get higher we change less height and ascend less. Due to this variation in landscape, one can explore verities of flora and fauna and acclimatize easily. The Manaslu trekking makes a loop from Arughat to Besi sahar, starts from one district and ends to another. The variation in the altitude gives different experience during this trek than other trail of Nepal Trekking trails. Along with that, panorama attached in the narrow river valley, deepest George, peaky mountains, lush green forest, varieties of wild animals and white water of those rivers refresh your mood time and again.

I had the opportunity to trek to Mardi Himal with Nepalgram and the entire experience was incredible. From start to finish, everything was taken care of and helped me pick the right trek for my schedule and skill level. Arun, not only, helped me decide on my trek, but was quick to answer any questions and offer adivce on gear. He was available to answer questions before, during, and after the trip. My guide, Deepak, was amazing! He was very knowledgable about the history of the trek and Nepal. I was worried about traveling solo, but I felt well cared for and Deepak and I became fast friends on the trek. Also, he is an amazing photographer! Nepalgram made my first time in Nepal very rememberable and I can't wait to go on another trek with them!

We were one of the lucky groups to have access to the Annapurna Santuary days before the Nepalese government closed it, its boarders and grounding of all flights. Our research had found ABC was a trek that teahouses every couple of hours and was relatively safe to do in summertime. As it was March and there was still snowfall with avalanche risk zones so we decided to get a guide to put our minds at ease and give some employment back when tourism was low. We visited several government registered trekking offices but we were overly impressed with the professionalism, safety and good sense of humour from everyone at the offices. From our research on here we dropped into the guys and instantly took a liking to them as they were a friendly bunch of guys. Asked to meet with Milan and knew straight away he would be a great addition to our pairing. He was very helpful, with great English and wanted to shape our trek around our needs and not his own and do it at our pace. He was open to changes to plans and made us feel at ease the whole way up and down. No shortage of interesting traditional facts, wildlife and fauna knowledge, plus a keen photographer, singer and boot fixer extraordinaire! Took our minds off the avalanche zones and allowed us to acclimatise before our ascent. It’s not an easy trek but our guide Milan knows how to make it a good laugh. Ask him to show you his male goat impression!! Even though a guide isn’t mandatory it 100% helps to improve the experience. We saw lots of people do it without and take some very unnecessary risks. Nature is spectacularly beautiful but wicked at the same time. We highly recommend Milan and the team at Sinse Rovers. It’s always good to give employment where possible to decent local tourism business. Enjoy your activity with them it will certainly be memorable!
