Manaslu Circuit Trek - If I write another post because of many pictures, please don't scold me!! I have also been to several treks in Nepal - the kingdom of trekking lovers, this time I chose Manaslu by mistake, partly because of many reviews of the trekking village, and the song of Mr. Ton Dong confirms that this is the most worth visiting in Nepal So I'm also curious to try to see if it's time to get up. There is a little blame about that article while going, the photo does not write deception on every step makes my philosophy experience when going to Upper Mustang is a big goat block like a hill, and Manaslu this time is though different about racial, cultural and economical, the number of exposure to deception of every citizen of dozens of nationalities on this earth will be the same. The fairness of life is here, not anywhere else

Actually a Nepali fan, it's worth visiting every arch, but completing this arch this year has a lot of meaning to me personally. Somehow, Manaslu Circuit Trek has given me much more than much to treasure about everything in this life.

My group has 6 people with 3 members U50 and 3 members a little younger, because knowing that I am very old and weak, I have to carefully order the prestigious landtour, extra porter, and it is really the most suitable decision for a challenge that lies outside imagination of many team members. No 7 support for a group of 6 fools, some people had not exercised for a long time before a journey of 160km from 1000m to 5106m, perhaps crossing Larke pass seems like a no thought...

We have been home for a week, back to the daily routine but perhaps the mountain's reflection is still somewhere, to sometimes find life is so difficult, we will miss the days in the mountains and realize what is the trip so that I can go, how come I can't live in this bustling city heart??!!

I have to thank Agent for always supporting us with all their heart and capacity, there is no team to cheat us to eat, travel, sleep at the right time, hold hands or even push me over dozens of suspension bridges, then Why to have these pictures for you to remember.

I am sharing some pictures in no order just remember that my team arrived Kathmandu on November 7 and left late on November 21. Thanks to your talent, almost the whole group went home with the wrong schedule. But in the light of the Buddha's ten directions, the whole crew was lucky enough to fly home on time as well as have completed perhaps the most miraculous days of life in many meanings!!

To be honest for those who are difficult to eat like me, going to Nepal it becomes something quite fairytale, luggage outside the cold is standard -25 degrees, I have to bring beef noodle, crab bamboo, cold dried sour soup, fried rice, cucumber stew, fried fish salty, salted egg northern egg, sepcialty coffee english tea with fresh central chilli, but still can not swallow food for last 3 days luckily in Dal Bhat in Dharamsala there is green bean soup taste like country green sweet Home, so I live one more day to cross Larke pass with the wind of 5106m high. Moh Buddha, although I have been to Nepal many times, this is the first time I tasted something belonging to Dal Bhat and felt extremely grateful for it.

Every time I go, I scold you because I often play stupid and after scolding you, I continue to go back. Sorry, I'm always stupid because the mountain is calling.

Rugged Trails delivered an absolutely phenomenal experience on our three-day Mardi Himal trek in the Annapurna range. The entire trip ran flawlessly from the first step out of Pokhara to the final descent. Our porter worked like a machine—steady, reliable, and always two steps ahead of what we needed—while our guide, Shrawan Kumar, was perfect in every way. Patient, knowledgeable, and calm no matter how steep or how long the climb became, he set the pace, kept the group motivated, and explained local culture, landscape, and trail details with the kind of depth you only get from someone who truly knows the mountains.

The trek itself was life-changing: stunning ridgelines, surreal views of Machhapuchhre and Annapurna, and the kind of quiet that resets your entire brain. We can’t wait to come back and do it again—there’s no question who we’ll book with. If you want the best possible Annapurna or Mardi Himal experience, ask specifically for Shrawan Kumar. He made an already incredible journey unforgettable.

I’m at the airport, buzzing with excitement as I wait for my flight to another destination! I want to extend my sincere gratitude to you and all the staff and porters who supported me throughout the trek. It was a real challenge for me to join such a hardcore trek without any preparation, but I did it! Thanks to your incredible support, I made it through. I can't wait to come back to Nepal soon to explore more stunning landscapes. See you soon, and thank you once again!

Namaste Nirajan, Thank you so much for arranging such a wonderful trip! We already truly appreciate this amazing experience. The entire team has been absolutely fantastic. We have collected so many wonderful memories and thousands of photos! We are so happy with the journey. The weather has been perfect, and we are glad we chose this time of the year for the trek.

This experience has definitely opened our eyes and inspired us to come back and trek more in the future!

We look forward to seeing you all again.

My daughter and I recently completed the Ulleri-Ghandruk circuit trek with Rugged Trails, and we had an absolutely wonderful time.

Our guide, Shrawan, was truly exceptional. He was incredibly patient, cheerful, and knowledgeable, always willing to answer any question that came up during the journey. He was particularly supportive of my daughter, who is relatively new to trekking. He made sure to keep her motivation high and her spirits up whenever she faced a challenge. Safety was clearly his top priority, and he ensured our well-being on the trails at all times. Shrawan went above and beyond, managing the logistics of transferring our bags between our overnight stops and arranging our morning taxi afterward.

We were equally impressed with our porter, Procas, who was consistently helpful, friendly, and encouraging, adding to our sense of security throughout the trek.

The accommodation was superb, often featuring stunning locations with breathtaking Himalayan views and offering a diverse menu of delicious food.

A huge thank you to Rugged Trails for facilitating what we consider the trek of a lifetime!

Poon Hill onto Mardi Himal.

Awesome hike taking in the mountain views and the sights and sounds of the jungle. It took us 7 days including the jeep transfer in and out of the mountains on the 1st and last day.. we were a small group and the going was good but never rushed, plenty of opportunity for pit stops. Rugged Trails made the trip as simple as can be, from collection and drop off @ the hotel, to arranging all the lodgings, meals, etc. Our guide was knowledgeable, helpful, & friendly, assisted by the awesome, often overlooked porter. I wouldn't hesitate to use Rugged Trails for future trips

We had a great trek experience! Ishwor was an excellent guide and made the trek a very memorable experience. Robin was also a great porter, we were very well looked after by both Ishwor and Robin, a huge thank you to them both. The whole trek was really well organised and offered some great accommodation and amazing memories, along with incredible views. We learnt a lot from Ishwor through our trekking days. We hope we can visit again one day and do another trek with Rugged Trails and will highly recommend this trip online.

I had a very nice trip! Kel and Sanjay (did I spell that right? 😅) have taken excellent care of us. Many thanks and good luck with your future endeavors!
