Testimonials

I just completed the Tsum Valley trek (without the Manaslu circuit), and it was an incredible experience. This trek is perfect for those who prefer an immersive cultural journey over a physical challenge - ideal for anyone interested in exploring Tibetan customs, visiting monasteries, and taking in breathtaking views of snow-capped mountains. In this small Tibetan enclave on the border of Nepal, you'll encounter local families in their unique villages and enjoy their customs, all under the majestic view of the Ganesh Himal range (over 7000 m). The trek was flawlessly organized by MCT, and my guide, Rajan, who is from the area, was exceptionally professional and attentive. It was a truly memorable experience. — Dannepat

I just finished the Tsum Valley trek without the Manaslu circuit, and it was wonderful—especially for those not looking for a challenging trek but interested in learning about Tibetan customs, visiting monasteries, and enjoying the stunning snowy mountain landscapes. In this little Tibet on the edge of Nepal, you will meet Tibetan families in their typical villages and appreciate their customs under the watchful gaze of the Ganesh Himal (+7000 m). The organization by MCT (Nim) was perfect, particularly because my guide, Gopi, was from the region, very professional, and attentive to me. It was a fantastic experience. Dan Nepat

After scouring trekking companies in Thamel, MCT stood out for its exceptional service for Manaslu Trek on budget. Friendly and honest, Nim (the owner) offered the best prices without any haggling needed, making the budgeting process stress-free. He even accommodated our special requests like transferring our non-hike belongings to Pokhara to meet us after our hike at no additional cost. Additionally, MCT provided great flexibility, allowing us to change or add trekking days as we desired.

We practiced yoga every morning and evening and mountains and nature made the practice even better. We lived the moment and loved the experience. We are happy to have chosen this trip.

In December, we spent 3 weeks in Nepal for the first time, tackling the Manaslu circuit with MCT. It was an unforgettable experience. The whole preparation was absolutely smooth; they offered expert advice on gear, and they even lent us some items we didn't have. Our guide, Dibas, was very nice and helpful. We learned a lot about Nepal from him; he was highly knowledgeable and experienced. It was an absolutely great experience, and we are already thinking of going back to Nepal for another trek, definitely with MCT.

Trek to Manaslu Base Camp was an unparalleled experience, offering stunning vistas as we ascended higher into the mountains. The beauty of the peaks and the charm of the surrounding villages captivated us. We particularly enjoyed the delicious local cuisine, which was perfect for the chilly weather. The entire trek was incredible, and we were very pleased with the arrangements made by the MCT, which allowed us to fully enjoy the journey without any worries. Thank you, MCT, for an unforgettable adventure. Highly recommended!

We are very happy at the end that we have found this company. Already in our first contact with him, Nim impressed us with outstanding precision and the best possible disposition. When we got to Kathmandu we had a conference with Nim to make sure we were properly prepared and well- equipped for the tough path ahead of us. The guide has accompanied us from the time we touched the soil in Kathmandu till our return. Without his presence, we couldn't have made the breakthrough. We strongly urge that anyone planning hiking in Nepal should get in touch with MCT and make reservations as soon as possible. The memories we formed will endure for life and we feel that we have made lifelong friendships with paul and his crew,.

Upon completing the Manaslu short trek, we couldn't have asked for more; it was an unforgettable experience. The company of four, including two newhammers, greatly enhanced our trip. The trek itself was truly breathtaking, made even more remarkable by the scarcity of other trekkers. Consequently, we found ourselves almost alone in the mountains, allowing us to enjoy a special connection with them all to ourselves. Our guide, Rajan from MCT, was fantastic in meeting our every need. The seamless travel experience, from our arrival in Kathmandu (where Nim and Rajan met us at the airport) to our departure (where Nim arranged an airport taxi and bid us farewell in person), provided us with a clear demonstration of their hospitality and professionalism.

Please, allow me to narrate about our hyperactive adventure on the Manaslu. The view was incredible, and the trail calm. We had different perceptions,such as lovely rhododendron forests and great snow-capped peaks. Our guide, Sai, was a great teacher who knew a lot and was helpful to understand the people and nature there It was a priority that every person in our group would have a good time - it did not matter how much hiking they did during any other day. This was set up by the MCT right from the very point where they picked us up from the airport. Ramkrishna informed us of it the first night before, and both he and Sai took us for a great dinner with dancing in Kathmandu. We were really, really satisfied with them and if you as a traveler in search of a cool adventure, I can highly recommend you to do it with them at Manaslu. It's a keeper. Do not throw it away!

I recently went on the Manaslu Luxury Trek with MCT, and it was an incredible experience. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty, with comfortable accommodations and exceptional service throughout the trek. The trek itself was challenging but also incredibly rewarding, with stunning views of the Himalayan mountains and beautiful landscapes that seemed to stretch on forever. Our knowledgeable guide led us through the various villages, and we had the chance to interact with the locals and learn more about their culture and way of life. One of the highlights of the trip was staying at the luxurious lodges, which were a welcome retreat after a long day of hiking. The lodges were equipped with all the amenities you could ask for, including comfortable beds, hot showers, and delicious meals. Overall, the Manaslu Luxury Trek was an unforgettable experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and luxurious trekking adventure in Nepal. It's the perfect way to experience the natural beauty and rich culture of the Manaslu region while still enjoying the comforts and amenities of a luxury vacation.

This wasn't just any trek, it was my third in Nepal and absolutely incredible! You start by diving into Tibetan culture in Tsum Valley. It's like stepping back in time, seeing how life has been for the locals for ages. My favorite part? The days leading up to the Tibetan border! Crossing Larke la pass was unreal, but the absolute highlight was the acclimatization hike to Pung Gyen Gompa. This Buddhist monastery, perched at 4300 meters at the base of Manaslu, is magical. Not only do you get to explore it, but you're surrounded by a 360-degree panorama of snow-capped giants, 7000 to 8000 meters high! Mind-blowing! If you're looking to Manaslu trek, I can't recommend MCT enough. They made this mountain experience the absolute best!
