Manaslu Circuit Trek

I undertook the Tamang Heritage Trek in the Langtang region with Hari Pandey in 2009. I was a complete novice, but felt well looked after with Hari as my guide. Knowledgably, friendly and professional, he helped to create fond memories of my time at the gateway to the Himalayas.

Wonderful and Unforgettable Hiking Experience to Manaslu!

My partner and I booked a 12 day Trekking Tour to Manasulu with Hari from Holiday Hiking Team. From Day 1 the organization was perfect: Hari got in contact with the Department of Immigration for Trekking Permits, arranged Bus and Jeep transportation, as well as accommodation and food. Hari is on the one hand an experienced guide who knows the trek and region extremely well. On the other hand he is friendly and helpful, a smart interlocuteur and gave us space to explore the trek by ourselves. We were so happy to have Hari as a guide and recommend him 100%. Thank you, Hari, for this unique experience! 🙏 Namasté.

Manaslu circuit trek

My friend and I booked a 12 days manaslu circuit trek with Hari as our guide. He is very friendly, knowledgeable and made sure we were okay during the trek. Hari made sure we got accommodation in guesthouses along the trek and that everything was to our desires. He made sure to adapt to our slow walking tempo and did not hurry us up in any way. I would definitely recommend him as your guide for all trekkings in Nepal!
