The scenery was absolutely breathtaking and the trek itself was challenging but extremely rewarding. From the stunning views of snow-capped peaks to the friendly people and vibrant culture along the way, this trek has it all. The guides and porters were knowledgeable and extremely helpful, and made sure we were safe and comfortable throughout the trek. I would highly recommend this trek to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure.
Adventure A One Treks provided a wonderful experience on Manaslu Circuit Trek in autumn 2022. Their professionalism and expertise in the field was remarkable. Every single detail of the trek was well planned and catered. It was an amazing experience to see the stunningly beautiful mountain peaks in Manaslu range and get to witness the local life in remote village areas. The guides were knowledgeable and always had answers to all our queries. They went to extraordinary lengths to make us feel comfortable. Moreover, I must appreciate the delicious regional food served during our trek. The hospitality and support of the Adventure A One Treks team made the journey truly memorable. I'm highly recommending their services to those looking for an unforgettable adventure. 5 Stars!!!
We (my girlfriend and I) are very grateful for this experience with Dhruba Bhatta and his Brother Ajeeb running a family business it was our first time trekking in Nepal on the Manaslu Circuit Trek and we didn’t have to worry about anything. We compared a couple of agencies and offers in Thamel and online and lastly, we felt Dhruba was very straightforward and honest about the package and provided excellent service - what’s included/what’s not - what is the trek like (first two days partly on the road - no big deal really) and what kind of service/accommodation to expect in the mountains. He also educated us on what to eat on the trek to cope well with the altitude - and some dos and fonts in the villages - this was very helpful. During the trek, he also reached out and proactively asked how we were doing. The equipment we rented from Adventure A One Trek (down jacket, sleeping bag, poles) was in a perfect state and kept us warm on the trek. If he has availability Dhruba will make sure to provide you with good gear. He provides the best service and we feel he is an expert guide. Our Guide Shailendra is so kind and flexible and adjusts for our Nepal visit. We wish him for best and if I will return to Nepal, I want him to be a guide for me again and again. Our guide and porter were very attentive to us as well and our bags were always ready for us when we got to the accommodations-furthermore he would fix the trails on the spout if he deemed a passage too dangerous for Larke-la pass. Thank you for Nepal trekking experience A One Trek team and Guide Shailendra.
