Manaslu Circuit Trek Reviews
Peaceful and full of diversity
From: Norway | On: 15 Mar, 2019
Honestly, I never expected the country to contain this much diversity within this small area. The people in Nepal really are living in harmony. I can see why many monks respect this country. Especially because Nepal is the birthplace of Gautama Buddha.
As I said, the country is really peaceful and a great getaway from modern life hassles. Kathmandu is one crowded city full of traffic. But as we headed away from the city towards Manaslu region, it was chilling and peaceful. I’m glad on the accomplishment of our trip to one of the highest mountain in the world.
Huge thanks to the team members at CoreTreks for helping us through almost everything while our stay in Nepal. They are really professional with what they do and focused on customer service. If you are looking forward to visit in Nepal or even trekking, I recommend that you book your trip via CoreTreks. I’m glad I put my trust to them, you can too.
Must visit Nepal
From: Germany | On: 25 Oct, 2019
Nepal is a place that you should definitely visit once in your lifetime. I’m glad that we chose Nepal for trekking, especially Manaslu region. The spine chilling views of the Himalaya range is something that I will remember forever in my lifetime.
We got to explore the vegetation of Manaslu Conservation Area which was really exciting. I encourage people to definitely visit Nepal once in their lifetime. It will be worth your time and effort, trust me.
Anyway, thanks to CoreTreks for booking our trip and making sure that we were in comfort. They really do take your safety seriously. The professionals know what they are doing and are really great in it. I could not recommend CoreTreks enough for you trip to Nepal.

I loved the difference in vegetation in Manaslu Conservation Area, it was something I admired the most about the whole trip. We then proceeded to trek up to the foothill of the eighth highest mountain peak in the world. We were really lucky to encounter Snow Leopards along our way. Really enjoyed the trip.
Again, thanks to the team at CoreTreks for planning and guiding us throughout the whole trip. They were really patient with us and focused on our needs in order to provide services that we craved for. Definitely recommended to anyone looking to visit Nepal.
Looking forward to visit again
From: Australia | On: 12 Apr, 2017
The country is really beautiful with a lot more to explore than what we usually see. It was a great opportunity for me and my team to explore the rich flora and fauna of the Manaslu Conservation Area. The country is really diverse in culture and the people are really welcoming.
We trekked up to the Larky La Pass, the highest point of our trekking expedition. I have to say that three weeks was really short time to explore everything Nepal had to offer. We are planning on returning with a lot more free time in order to enjoy and relax for the holiday.
I highly recommend CoreTreks if you plan on going for a vacation in Nepal. They are a team of professional, highly dedicated to the safety and satisfaction of their clients. They guided us throughout our trip and really were amazing companions.
