Budget Travel

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.

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.

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!
