16 reviewsManaslu Expedition is one of the technical peaks with a height of 8163 meters. The size of Manaslu is similar to the Dhaulagiri. Both are the 5th highest mountains in Nepal and the 8th highest in the world. The Manaslu expedition is a pre-practice climb before climbing Everest. Mount Manaslu lies beautifully in the Manaslu Conservation Area. The summit offers spectacular scenery of the mountain ranges all around. Still, proper acclimatization and mental alertness are mandatory for the climb, along with a need for previous mountain climbing experience and a good physique.
The Manaslu Expedition starts through Arughat since the trekkers observe the experience of the Manaslu circuit trek until Sama Gaon and then into the Manaslu Base Camp. Besides that, the base camp and four other camps must be set up to climb the mountain. The Manaslu Base Camp lies at 4665 meters while the 1st Camp is at 5500 meters. The 2nd and 3rd Camp is at altitudes of 6300 m and 6700 m, respectively, while the 4th Camp lies at 7300 meters. The Base Camp is in a comfortable position but is susceptible to winds and snowfalls.
The way from 1st Camp to 2nd Camp requires passing through steep snowfields with the danger of slipping. Also present are massive icefalls that need to walk upon with precautions. 2nd to 3rd Camp is slippery, followed by trekking up through the ice bulges into the fourth Camp. It is a comparatively challenging climb to the summit from 4th Camp, although it requires mental alertness. Finally, the same path is retraced to end this beautiful expedition or complete the Manaslu circuit.

I did this trek in Upper Mustang with my sisters, and it was an incredible experience. Everything was very well organized, and we truly enjoyed every part of the journey. I also highly recommend kumar as a guide – he was knowledgeable, helpful, and made the trek even more special. A truly unforgettable adventure!
I did the Phoksundo Lake trek with Kumar and it was a superb experience. It is an adventure, so you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone, but Kumar always adapts to the unexpected and makes the trip as enjoyable as possible! The landscapes are magnificent, you meet lots of people along the way, and you really push your limits! Kumar is an excellent guide attentive, friendly, and his prices are very fair!
I recently did an annapurna curcit with my brother and his girlfriend. It was an amazing trek with the help of kumar and his team . It was one of the best experience of our life . The annapurna curcit is the best of the treks that people can choose for. I sincerely recommend this company for other travellers.
The 18-day Lower and Upper Dolpo tour was individually tailored to our needs by Kumar. Kumar had put together a great team of guide, cook and mule guide. This team fulfilled all of our wishes at all times during the entire tent trek. Narsang, our guide, is very attentive and careful along the entire route. Kumar is very reliable. He looked after us very well in the preparation and execution of our trek and during our stay in Kathmandu right up to the farewell at the airport. A highly recommended local company when it comes to individually planning a trekking tour. The trip was a great experience. Chris and Hajo
Recently I did EBC Trekking with my Girl Friend and this is my forth time to trek in Nepal with Kumar! Kumar is very professional and helpful. He always arranges all the things well before you asking for. Highly recommended for anyone who is first time to visit Nepal and trek!
H.E.T were professional and helpful for my first trekking in Nepal. Friendly and joyful trek. Thank you for every things. Thank you to lead me there at ABC. It was so wonderful and I couldn't forget this experience.
Our non-profit organisation needed a local tour guide to help with our local guide and logistics. After much research, we engaged with Kumar. During our 4 days trip, Kumar demonstrated excellent local knowledge, punctuality, friendliness. During the trip he never tried to sale us anything. And with a charitable and kind heart, he did not even charge us for this ngo trip. thank you so much.
I was very lucky to have Kumar to arrange our 5 day stay in Nepal. From the pick up at the airport to showing up punctually every morning at the hotel lobby, everything was smooth and hassle free. Kumar is a friendly and kind-hearted gentleman who genuinely wants to help visitors to experience the best of Nepal. Will definitely choose Himalayan Exploration for my next trekking.
Kumar has a very kind heart to help me arranging logistics before and during my volunteer work in Kathmandu. He also guided me with my city tour and mountain trekking after my volunteer work. He can always surprised me with brilliant suggestions.
